Two For The Price Of One! by Alison Hall
00:00
Hello crafty peeps! I have two cards to share with
you today. Both feature stencilled backgrounds that I made last year with
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils, and also the lovely Artistic Outpost stamp set
'Bluebird'.
Here's what I used...
That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils - Herringbone
Background, Arrows Background, Bubbles Background, Punchinella Background,
Abstract Squares
DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylic Paint - Paynes Grey,
Phthalo Blue, Primary Cyan, Cobalt Teal Hue, Primary Yellow, Yellow Green
Light, Titanium White
Ranger Distress Ink Pad - Antique Linen, Black Soot
Cream Card Blank x 2 - 8x6 inches
Music Paper
Stencil Brush, Blending Foam, Heat Gun, Adhesive
Tape, Paintbrush
Here's what I did...
1. The backgrounds were made using the DecoArt
Fluid Acrylics together with That's Crafty! Dinky Stencils, then cut to
postcard size (6x4 inches).
2. I randomly stamped the script from the Bluebird
stamp set on the backgrounds with Cloud White ink, then clear embossed it.
3. On a piece of white card, I stamped the two main
images with Onyx Black ink then clear embossed them and cut them out. I inked
the images with Antique Linen Distress Ink, then used some watered down
Phthalo Blue acrylic to paint the images.
4. I lightly painted some vintage music sheet with
white gesso, then tore two strips and stamped the birds on a wire on these. I
also stamped the Bluebird phrase twice on the music sheet and tore around it.
5. I inked the edges of all images with Black Soot,
and adhered them to the background panels as shown.
6. To finish, I matted each panel onto black card,
then adhered them to the cream card blanks.
Have a creative day!

How lovely - the backgrounds look as though they've just been waiting for those wonderful AO Bluebird stamps.
