Handmade Background #18

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Here is another one of my backgrounds that I found in my stash.


Stamps:  Unknown
Sprays:  Ranger

I wrapped a long piece of twine around the card stock and used various colors of ink sprays over the card stock and then unwrapped the string. Simple, but a neat look! 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Handmade Background #17

Hi and welcome to my blog! I am sharing another handmade background with you today. This is one of my favorite ways to make a background using my gelli plate. I dropped a few alcohol ink colors on my gelli plate and used a brayer to blend the colors and to cover the plate. I immediately placed my stencil over the colors, pressed the stencil a bit with my hand and lifted it off. Next I brayered a light coat of cream acrylic paint over the gelli plate and then pulled the print.


Stamp:  Bear Silhouette - Stampablilities
Die:  Stitched Circle - Gina Marie
Alcohol Inks - Ranger
Saying - Computer Generated

I stamped the bear by using the rock-n-roll technique. I stamped the bear with brown ink and then rocked the stamp around the edges on a mahogany ink pad.

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

Bio.
I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like minded people.

I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.
This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue!

I am using this cute new Christmas stamp from Stampendous. She is enjoying wrapping her gifts as much as I do!


Stamps:  Mint Gifts - Stampendous     Saying - Sparkle N Sprinkle
Dies:  Stitched Ovals - Gina Marie
Patterned Paper:  Park Lane Paperie
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to see you over at the challenge!
Have a wonderful day!
