Eclectica³ : Tracy Scott Tracy has been storming ahead over the past couple of years sharing her bright and bold journalling style across the UK, and beyond. She is rapidly building up a strong following of mixed media crafters who feel encouraged and emboldened to create by digging deep within to doodle, stamp and paint without fear. Tracy's stamps are perfect for layering onto pages, canvases of even the standard number 8 tag!

All these new products are available from your PaperArtsy stockists now. See the list at the foot of this post. ~ Leandra Hi everyone, Tracy here with you tonight and I'm super excited to be able to show you my newest stamps designed for PaperArtsy. Primarily I am an Art Journaller and usually when thinking about designing stamps I like to look back through my journal pages and see the kind of doodles, marks and images I am currently using in my projects. Very often, it becomes quickly apparent which doodles are being repeated continuously, and that gives me the starting point for creating my new stamps. This release is no different and all of the designs have come directly from ideas that are current in my journals, and whilst I am using them in my journals, I feel that they are equally adaptable for all kinds of craft projects and applications. I'm so excited about this release and tonight I wanted to give you a sense of what I might get up to with these stamps, but over the next 2 nights, you'll get plenty more inspiration from 2 other fantastic bloggers in their preferred style (I cant wait to see what they come up with too !!) 'Creativity' using 'ETS10' by 'Tracy Scott' I'm sure that you already know that I am in love with doodled flowers and I really love large statement stamps so that was my starting point for this set, and I have to say the main focal stamp just makes my heart sing.... I stamped and coloured this image onto to a separate sheet so that it could be added to my journal page once the background was finished and used the additional smaller stamps in the set to add detail to a simple collage and painted background. Fast and effective and what a bold statement on my page. I'd love to try adding this stamp to a card and maybe go for a layered 3D effect, or maybe ever cut out the centre focal flower and use this on its own, i really think the possibilities are just endless with this bold design !!. 'Too Much Happy' using 'ETS09' by 'Tracy Scott' I just love that this stamp set has all the makings of a fabulous journalling set but is also perfect for adding amazing accents to cards and scrapbook pages. There isn't one stamp in this set that i think doesn't have dual uses and that makes me happy happy happy !!! Beautiful bright fresco paints and I used the various stamps in this set to create my background before stamping and adding the focal point doodle flower on raised foam for a 3D look. Just so you can see how versatile this approach can be...I went onto create other items in the same vein... Large images can still work on small formats, like this ATC. You can see how I have added a doodled edge to the entire piece and the words. Layering one stamped shape onto another creates an easy flower centre, and great contrast too. Here the same ideas are applied to a larger journal page...I love the pop of gold embossing too, texture and contrast! 'And So The Adventure Begins' using 'ETS11' by 'Tracy Scott'  I just adore butterflies and very often include them in my art pages and mixed media projects so just knew that for this release I had to have a butterfly in there somewhere and am thrilled with how this one turned out !! I just knew that this butterfly would be able to be used in so many different ways: cards, scrapbooks, journal pages, watercolour art, zentangle pages the list just goes on and on.. Here I chose to use it by stamping directly onto a book page and adding distress ink. I think it looks amazing against the bright zingy colours of the background !! 'Dream, Explore, Create' using 'ETS09' by 'Tracy Scott' Heading into a slightly more grungy direction on this sample, but still incorporating leftovers from my earlier pieces. Close up you can see the textures and the multiple layers Thank you for stopping by tonight and I hope I've given you plenty of ideas for using my new designs although I am sure that you can come up with plenty more amazing ideas of your own. I cant wait to see what you create and you can always feel free to tag me in any of your art work using my stamps as i would truly love to see them. Don't forget to stop by for the next two evenings where two very talented ladies will be sharing their ideas for using the new designs and believe me you don't want to miss them!
