PaperArtsy: 2024 Matter 6 : Scrapcosy

Hello everybody!  It is Autumn Clark from SewPaperPaint with you as we speak and I’m ever so excited to have the possibility to play with stamps for the Scrapcosy matter, as you all know the way a lot I am keen on Raquel and her unbelievable designs!  I selected to do a Mash Up publish to indicate how superbly Scrapcosy stamps pair with Gwen Lafleur stamps.  Each designers have an exquisite illustrative model, Raquel with a extra true classic aesthetic and Gwen leaning towards a extra bohemian vibe.  However, the kinds of illustration pair superbly.  My process was made easy, minus the choice on which two stamp units to marry…

My favourite a part of this course of was creating my very own ephemera from every stamp.  I simply love how these photos might be personalised in any shade palette, however in the end I selected to work in an autumnal scheme, as a result of  fall is sort of upon us and is most lovely within the foothills of South Carolina.

I used to be away from residence, so I believed what higher time to do a publish that includes only a few merchandise.  I picked a trio of Misery Ink Pads, one bottle of PaperArtsy Fresco Chalk Acrylic (Heavy Cream) and simply two stamp units, Scrapcosy stamp set 26 (ESC26) and Gwen Lafleur stamp set 19 (EGL19).

I began by getting inky!  I dipped a pair of Bristol panels into Misery Inks in Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge and Classic Photograph, repeating the method till I used to be pleased with the colour.  

I do not learn about you, however typically simply diving in with shade appears the easiest way to kickstart my mojo.  Subsequent, I stamped my focal imagery then performed round with composition utilizing the precise pink rubber stamps as puzzle items to find out my structure.  

Then I began coloring my focal photos to coordinate with my inky backgrounds and started stamping the backgrounds in varied colours.

 

At this level, I used to be nonetheless considering our quarterly theme of “Hidden” and determined it might be a variety of enjoyable to let a few of these very wealthy colours and picture outlines turn into hidden or subdued within the background.  

I made a decision this patch of “free area” could be an excellent spot so as to add some journaling.  So to hold on with the Hidden Theme, I connected my focal photos to smaller inky tags and adhered them with masking tape hinges to the bigger tags.  It was an excellent area to include extra stamping.

I used the Scrapcosy textual content stamps to focus on every mini tag.  The collage parts remind me of gathering nature’s treasures on a stroll via the forest.

I made a decision the shadowy birds wanted somewhat oomph, so I fussy lower one other coloured chicken and layered it over to finish the collage I used to be going for, with the smaller chicken going through the “mama chicken”. 

I’m trying ahead to including private writing on these areas sooner or later.

I hope you have loved this Mash Up of Scrapcosy and Gwen Lafleur stamps!  Maybe you are considering of the units you personal and the way they are often mixed.  I’d like to see what you provide you with!  xx, Autumn
