Handmade Background #13

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog. Once again I am back with a handmade background card. There are a lot of ways to use a gelli plate, but I had never tried using markers on a gelli plate before. This background was made using markers on a gelli plate and I love the look!

Stamps:  Boatyard - Art Impressions, Wavy Ball - Rubber Nature

Markers: Tombow

I used my small rectangle gelli plate and swiped blue and purple colors onto the gelli plate, using the side of the brush nibs. I spritzed the gelli plate a little with water so that the colors blended better. I then stamped the wavy ball stamp three times in a row. This lifted off some of the color and left this neat background. I stamped the image over the background in a dark blue ink. I wanted to bring out the banks at the left, so I used my watercolor pen to blend the colors a little. I like that there is still a pattern there.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Handmade Background #12

Hello! Welcome to my blog. I am sharing another handmade background card today. July 4th is almost here so this background reminded me of all the fun fireworks celebrations. I am thankful for all the men and women who serve and haved served in the military to keep our country free!

For the background I used the Astro Star Dots stamp by Judikins, stamped it and then continued to stamp it in a circle a few times without reinking it. You can see light shadows around each stamp. Stamping this way fills in the white areas more. I stamped the city by Just For Fun at the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!

Bright Birthday Wishes

Hi and welcome to my blog. I want to share a birthday card I made using this sweet bird from Dina Wakley - my favorite bird stamp!

I followed the color challenge over at My Favorite Things blog.

For the background I splatted oxide inks with a paint brush. I used the Bubble Daisey Border die from Memory Box and added it to the bottom of the card. The saying is from Creek Bank Creations.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!
