* AALL & Create: Up, Up & Away

Hello!

Today is my GDT day at AALL & Create.

I have created a whimsical scene using a stamp set designed by Tracy Evans called Up, Up & Away and two of her whimsical houses.

 

I created the background with one of the new geometric stencils and Distress Oxides.  I used watercolours for the images. 

Work in Progress:

1. I directly inked the stencils with Distress Oxides, spritzed water and stamped onto card.

2. The green card was torn and adhered to the blue card. The balloon and the two houses were stamped using Versafine Nocturn ink.

3. I used the Hibiscus set to add some of the alphabet stamp around the card edges. Tone on tone stamping using the Scripted Semi-circles was added to the stencilled background, along with the small circle stamp from the Heart Grunge set.

4. The images that I needed were stamped onto watercolour paper. They were painted, then fussy cut. I added some stamping to the houses and used Polychromo pencils to add extra colour and some details.

The hot air balloon and its basket were stamped onto mop-up card and the colours enhanced with Polychromo pencils.

5. The images were adhered in place, some on foam tape. White splatters were added. Sentiments were stamped, cut and inked around the edges then added on foam tape for dimension.
