New PaperArtsy Eclectica³ {Kim Dellow} Stamp And Stencil Release February 2017

You guys know I am a bit circle obsessed and from what I've heard from you, a lot of you are too! Which is great news because my new designs for PaperArtsy. have lots of circles and circles flowers and I can not wait to see what you do with them.

Yes it is NEW PRODUCT release time. I have three new stamps sets and three new stencils as part of the PaperArtsy Eclectica³ {Kim Dellow} range. The new stamps do follow on from my earlier release last year but this year I thought I would change it up a little bit. I've been hankering after some mixed flowers and longing for a large flower, big is best right?! Plus I have some frames, a butterfly and what I am calling retro-electro heart.

I hope that you have lots of fun with them!

For the stencils I've continued with the floral theme for two of the stencils and there is one large flower stencil and a stencil with three smaller flowers and a leaf. But get this - you also get the mask for these stencils too as they come nested in the mylar sheet they have been cut from (don't throw it away!), you just need to nip them out and you have a stencil and a mask, two for the price of one!

The third stencil is a more abstract cluster of retro-style circles and rectangles and very much designed with texture and pattern in mind. It's going to be fun to see where we can go with these new designs!

I love everything from clean and simple card making to mixed media messiness and art journaling so it is important to me that the products have multiple uses and can be applied to different types of projects.

But who better to showcase this than my two amazing release day wingmen Anneke De Clerke and Michelle Short?! Both of these talented artists have different have made some amazing samples for this launch of these new products. It is a real joy to see them bring these products to life! Here is a little teaser of their samples. They have more on their own blogs, just click the pictures below to go to their blogs and give them some love!

I've also got some of my own samples to share with you this week starting with the making of this journal page using the large flower stencil PS046, the retro shapes stencil PS040, the small flower stencils PS048 and the line stamp from the EKD04 stamp set.

I've used PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints to make this page and the colours I've used are Blue Oyster, China, Limelight, Banana, Bubble Gum and Coral, scroll down further to see the video showing how the page from start to finish.

You can see from the film that there are so many ways to use the stencils, for example, I've used the whole retro shapes stencil to add texture to the collage pieces but then used it again, but only a part of it to add a bit of focal point detail and interest to the centre of the flower as you can see in this close up picture below.

I doodled in the little retro rectangles background but if you remember back to the EKD03 set there was a similar design in that set that you could use instead! So totally mix and match.

Come back tomorrow for a closer look at Michelle Short's samples and then on Tuesday for Anneke De Clerck samples or pop over to their blogs to see them now. You can also see more about this new release over on the PaperArtsy blog including a step by step project from me.

I hope you enjoy playing with these. Now that you have seen them what do you think you will make first?
