Carabelle Let Leonie Loose - zinouk

Hi crafters. I'm sitting in our little presenters room here at hochanda head quarters. I've got a nice short this week as my mum and step dad are visiting me in Brighton for neil's birthday. We are going to have a few days exploring with the pack of hairy kids when I get back.

I did manage to come in for my Let Leonie Loose show however...had to, one can't miss a couple of hours and the wonderful stamps that are Carabelle. I love the art work Azoline produces, they are really quirky and unique images, great to work with. I created a whole host of backgrounds, and then had fun decorating them with Zinouk.

I thought I'd share some of my makes.

Thank you for those who have already booked to join me on one of my workshops, I think there are still spaces, so if you haven't booked yet, have a look at th previous post for further details.



I created a stamped background, which I embossed with white embossing powder. I then used a stencil (in the show I actually used my In A Spin die cut) to paint through and add a paint layer onto the stamped image.  Really chuffed with the way it turned out.









Art journals are brilliant for experimenting and keeping a visual record of your makes.








I love this little image, he's so cute. The background is made with acrylic paints, which have been layered and then gesso to create a highlighted area.







This background was actually paint directly applied to the stamp, so the image isn't a solid stamped image, which I really liked.














I think my flower dies go really well with the funky flowers from azoline





Finally, zinouk becomes a mermaid....and why wouldn't you. Just for the holidays
