Autumnal Colours - Card and Tag

Autumnal Scene 

To make this card I have used ....

Oak House Studio Pigment ink pads, the colours ; 

Pumpkin, Lemon Yellow, Golden Yellow, Sepia and Fire Brick 

Oak House Studio Acrylic Inks, the colours ;

Citrine, Amber and Garnet.

Other items included embossing powder, a versamark pen and a little talc.

Oak House Studio stamps include The Beech and Oak Tree plus the Squares border stamp I also used one of the blank circles for the sun out of the Flowers and Circles stamp set . 

The card used is also from Oak House Studio and the inks blend beautifully into this card, for the initial laying down of  colours using a blending tool with foam pad on. Then I took the border stamp and used the sepia to stamp the border taking care to match up the pattern, obviously when inking up use a wet wipe to wipe off any excess ink that you don't want on the card. I waited for the ink to dry and then dusted with some talc, Next I stamped the sun using the Golden Yellow, then the trees using the Fire Brick. Sprinkle embossing powder over the wet images and heat set from underneath, then take the inks and randomly colour the border, this dries really quickly then using the brush tip of the versamark pen go over all the squares covering the coloured areas, embossing powder and heat set again.

The tag is really simple, using the same method as above and the same colours all apart from the inking up of the stamp which I used the Golden Yellow in the centre of the leaves and the Fire Brick on the outside. I did not use Acrylic Inks either, choosing to just let the colours laid down using the ink pads shine through the embossed areas.

 Thank you for looking

Autumnal Colours

A very simple card to start with  ....

The ink pads used to create the sky were :

Slate Grey

Powder Blue

For the Sun I used 

Lemon Yellow 

Golden Yellow

Then for the trees and leaves on the pathway I used 

Yummy Chocolate

Green Oak

Lemon Yellow

Pumpkin

All are from the Oak House Studio Colour Chemistry Range.

The Tree Stamp is also from Oak House Studio it is the Tree Ash unmounted stamp.

I stamped onto Oak House Studio A5 Cream Stamping Card.

A piece of paper in my stash was used for layering purposes and a permanent ink pen was used to frame the topper. To embellish I just used Orange Peel Stickles to enhance the colours used in the making of this card.

Exciting News For me .....

 Well I just had to shout about this today I am,oakhousestudio.blogspot.co.uk along with 4 others part of the Design Team at Oak House Studios for the next 3 months !! 

Some of the work you have seen recently from me includes the One Stamp Challenge work, which I have to say was great fun and then lots of bits and bobs here and there using Oak House Studios fabulous Colour Chemistry Inks and the Colour Chemistry Acrylic Inks which are a recent but wonderful addition the colours are vibrant and wonderful to use.

Here are just a reminder of a couple of my works 

This first one includes the use of the Colour Chemistry Acrylic Inks which I think you will agree are beautiful colours and the stamps include the Mountain Ash Leaves, the Butterfly from the Triple butterfly stamp set and of course the Enjoy what you Do stamp.

The second is a piece from the One Stamp Challenge work in July using the Walesby Heart which has been stamped onto grunge paste. 

Thank you for looking

Oak House Studio August Challenge

Alphabetica Tags

The above 3 tags are made using Oak House Studio Stamps and inks only.

The Triple Butterfly Set 

Enjoy what you do and the Clematis Corner

The English Garden Stamp and the flowers are from Sweet Lilac Flowers.

I used a combination of Colour Chemistry inks in spray bottles and a straw to blow the inks. Then to hurry the drying process I used a heat gun to dry them.

I then went over the whole of the tags with a cotton wool ball and the Golden Oak Colour Chemistry Ink to give a shimmer to both the inks and the tags which actually were white to start with.

I then stamped and embossed the Sentiments, Butterfly and Clematis corner.

Finally I added some colour to the butterfly and clematis and then edged the sides of the tags to frame them.

All the products used are available on the Oak House Studio Website.

Thank you for looking

Clarity Challenge # 17

Here is my entry for the Clarity Challenge " Anything Goes "

I have to admit it is not my own idea but a different take on Barbara's Sunday Ditty.

I was feeling a bit deflated after the 2 day Clarity Stamp Workshop and when I read the ditty and saw the card thought I would have a go myself.

My card differs in the sentiment and the fact that I have not put in any trees but added the Maya Angelou Poem. As I am sure I am not alone in saying the retreat was fun and over far to soon !!

I hope this is acceptable as an entry and thank you for looking

Oak House Studio Sunflower

Inspired by the post on the Inkspired OHS page on Face Book today I dug out this stamp and my Pan Pastels along with a little Washi Tape.

The Image and sentiments are stamped with a Walnut Stain Distress Inkpad.

The Sentiment stamps are by Clarity Stamp.

Thank you for taking the time to look

Oak House Studio One Stamp Project

Here are my contributions to the Oak House Studio One Stamp Project......

The corners of this card were stamped and embossed with gold detail powder.

The flower on this card was made using 5 Stamped and coloured hearts that were folded and then the centre was a Dazzle coloured with a gold Wink of Luna pen.

This card again uses embossed corners with a small stamp with the doves and 2 rings joining the hearts together.

The Heart on this card were stamped using Versafine ink pads as were the wings of the butterfly that were stamped onto Art Parts modelling film which aids shaping when heated. I finished off with clear gems, a sentiment and stickles in a variety of colours. 

The clock was first painted with Gesso then coloured using neon acrylic paints and when dry randomly stamped with the Walesby Heart.

This small fan was made with coffee stirers, feathers, a few beads and stamped Walesby Hearts and coloured using Wink of Stella brush pens.

 The dart flights were not my idea but I did make them using acetate and a stazon ink pad.

The mannequin was made using Walesby Hearts that had been stamped onto vellum, coloured with mica powders and set with hairspray. They were cut out and put into place after first covering the body part with white paper. I finished off with some thin ribbon for a bow.

This tag was made using distress inks, water and a piece of ribbon to finish.

This topper has been made using Grunge Paste, Distress Inks, The Walesby Heart stamp and Stickles.

   

A pair of earrings made with shrink plastic and a couple of small glass heart beads.

Thank you for taking the time to look, I enjoyed taking part in this project organised by Lynnda Worsnop of Oak House Studios. Thank you Lynnda for inviting me to take part it has been a learning curve and great fun too !!

The Oak House Studio June Challenge

The Oak House Studio June Challenge ...

Entry Number 2

For my second entry in this month's challenge I thought I would try something new.

I am a complete novice at pyrography and this is the very first time I have attempted it, so I thought to start with I would try a coaster.

Apart from the stamp from The Oak House Studio range, I used Spectrum Noir pens for the colour and another of the tips that came with the iron. 

Thank you for looking
