Back to nature with Oak House Studio

Hello everyone, today I would love to share my love of nature inspired by Oak House Studio`s

English Garden words unmounted Stamp

Here`s what happens when you play with air dry clay, a stamp and inks . . .

. . . they may be a little rough around the edges, the leaves a little dimpled, the snail may have been through the wars { lol }

BUT

I do love the roughness off them along with bursts of inky coloured goodness . . .

the sun came out at just the right time to take these pictures. 

These two little plates have now had a coat of varnish and will be heading to my shed at the allotment to enjoy our fresh produce on over the coming months.

{ sorry I got carried away and didn`t take any before photos}

Just knead your dough till it`s warm and pliable, roll it out to whatever thickness you want and apply your stamp.

 Be sure to leave it for a few days to air dry before sanding and getting messy with the inks . . .spraying, splatting, brushing, having fun!

Thank you for looking

Big hugs

Tracy

Colouring and having courage with Oak House Studio . . .

Hi everyone, Tracy here today sharing the first project that I created using 

Oak House Studio`s

 Inks in a bottle

I remember the day my parcel arrived to create my layouts, I could not wait to try them out!

 Canvas, pencil and a little doodle dooooing later I came up with my girl

 " Courage "

Mixing together the inks from the French Quartet to colour her wings . . .

 adding the teeniest amount of ink to acrylic white paint for touches of blush . . .

the background . . . more deeelish Ink applied using a baby wipe to work it into the canvas, a drop goes a long way using it like this.

I remember going over the wings and background working the inks in with baby wipes and brushes until I was happy before

 flicking and splatting a few of the inks to break up the background. 

I honestly can`t begin to tell you how much fun I had using the inks to create my wings, background and blushing cheeks on my girl

plus

how super quick it is to cover a canvas with ink using baby wipes.

I hope you have a go and enjoy all the splatters and splots along the way!

Catch you next time, I am now officially addicted to inks, lol . . .

Big hugs

Tracy

Childhood is the most beautiful of all seasons ~ Colour Chemistry

Hi everyone, hope you are all having a crafty time. Tracy here today with the final layout to share, you will find them all in this months issue of Scrapbook Magazine.

By now you  can probably tell I have a love for layers and old book pages, they work so well with the range of products from Oak House Studio.

 Spraying through masks to add interest to the book papers, inking and stamping, splatting and flicking . . . oh my what a time I had!

I felt like a chemist mixing my Gesso and modelling paste with splots from the Inks in a bottle.

 Oh, did I mention the inks I have been playing with are the The French Quartet collection, deeeeelish!

Using them like watercolours to colour the images, splodging and flicking to create pretty flowers , who thought splodges could look so pretty,lol!

I`ll be back soon with a few more projects to share with you all, I hope you can stop by.

Till next time

Big hugs

Tracy
