Hobby Art & Dylusions

Good morning, Kirsten here with the first of my Hobby Art projects for February. I hope you all had a nice weekend. We were back at Fant Hall in Maidstone for the first of Lisa's 2016 classes last Friday. You can read about the classes HERE. The Hobby art stamps I used on my projects this month are:

Wildflowers

Textures

Poppy Heads

Poppy Bloom

Poppy Field

I also used Dylusions paints on most of my projects.

I began today's card by applying Lemon Zest & Squeezed Orange Dylusions with my fingers on to a piece of Super Smooth card..............

When that first layer was dry, I applied Cut Grass Dylusions through the Imagination Crafts' 

Sun Mosaic stencil & Postbox Red Dylusions through the IC Flint Texture stencil................

The third layer was stamping with the Hobby Art Textures set, using permanent green & black inks. I didn't put any of the stamps on acrylic blocks, just held them in my hand & rolled them over the card, that way you get partial impressions........

I wanted the two largest flowers from the Poppy Field & Poppy Sketch stamps, so I stamped them on to scrap paper, cut them out, put them on to the background & traced around them with a pencil...........

I added hand drawn stems & leaves, again with a pencil, then began to filll in the surrounding area with White Linen Dylusions & a mix of Grape Crush & White Linen. I did this with a paintbrush & a damp baby wipe, drying in between to build up layers.........

I added more stamping with the Limor Webber from Indigo Blu with Jet Black Stazon, another of the Hobby Art Textures stamps with red ink & used a permanent black pen to outline the flowers....................

I finished the card with the sentiment stamp from the Hobby Art Wildflowers stamp set......

The website will be updated today & new stock from Hobby Art will be arriving during the week.

Thank you for visiting the blog today. Have a great week & I'll be back next Monday.

**There isn't a new blog challenge. We've got some other ideas for this year, so we're giving the challenge a rest for the time being. Thanks to everyone who supported it last year.**

Hobby Art Poppies

Morning blog visitors, Kirsten here, happy 1st of February. I have two more cards from 2015 to show you today, I made them for the 

September masterboard class, but I never got them blogged. The main ingredients are the wonderful Dylusions paints & the gorgeous Poppy Field & Poppy Bloom stamps from Hobby Art, which are back in stock.

The backgrounds are very simple, I just swiped on Dylusions - Cut Grass, Fresh Lime, a little bit of Turquoise - with damp baby wipes, blending until I was happy, then adding splatters of White Linen. 

The poppy stamps were stamped directly onto the backgrounds, then again onto scraps of card that I'd painted with Postbox Red, Squeezed Orange & Crushed Grape, the flowers were cut out & glued onto the backgrounds.

I drew the pot by hand on scrap card, cut it out & blended Postbox Red & Melted Chocolate Dylusions with my fingers.

I decided the second card needed something extra, so I applied Sweet Poppy Pearlescent dimension paste through the Imagination Crafts' Leaf Swirl stencil.

                                            



Thanks for looking. Have a good week & see you next time.

Dylusional Leftovers

Happy Monday, blog visitors. Last week I showed you how I made
this masterboard, using Dylusions paints, and two cards I made with the larger pieces. Now I'd like to show you the two cards I made with some of the leftovers.

I outlined part of the Imagination Crafts' Droplets stencil on the reverse of a small piece, then cut out the bits...............

Made a quick background by mixing a tiny drop of Black Marble with White Linen Dylusions & applying that through the Imagination Crafts' Hexagons stencil, then Cut Grass Dylusions through a piece of sequin waste. I stamped the Splattered Heart stamp from Indigo Blu off the edge & the Poppy Field stamp from Hobby Art, both with Jet Black Stazon ink..............

Painted a scrap of Super Smooth with Squeezed Orange Dylusions & stamped the Poppy Field with black Stazon again & cut out the flower heads...........

Glued everything down with Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue & hand wrote the words on scrap Super Smooth card............

Another very simple background with the Black Marble & White Linen mix through the Hexagons stencil, with Fresh Lime through the 

Imagination Crafts Diamonds stencil on top. Stamped the Pimpernel directly onto the background & the flowers onto another piece of the masterboard & cut them out...........

And I still have a few pieces remaining.

                                 

 Thanks for visiting the blog today, have a great week.

Kirsten.
