Gelli Print Card

 Hi and welcome to my blog! I always love using my gelli prints on my cards. They make neat backgrounds. I saw a neat gelli plate technique and tried it for this card. 

Stamp:  Bird Crazy - Tim Holtz

Saying - Our Daily Bread Designs

Stencil:  Daisies - Delta Creative

Crayons 

Acrylic Paint

First I placed a flower stencil over my card stock and colored in the areas using crayons. Next I brayered blue acrylic paint onto my gelli plate, pressed the crayon colored card stock onto the gelli plate and pulled it off. I let the paint dry - doesn't take long - and then I used the side of a metal palette knife to scrape off the paint that was over the crayon colors. The crayon acts like a resist and the paint scrapes off easily.

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

 Hi! Welcome to my blog. I am enjoying getting out my unused dies in my stash and actually using them! This is such a pretty die. For the background I used an old credit card to swipe different colors of Mica Gloss inks across my card stock. The die cut piece was placed on top of the background.

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!

Many thanks to our Generous Sponsors for their Continued Support

Simon Says Monday Challenge: Bright, Cheerful Colors

Christmas Kitty

 Hi and welcome to my blog. I try to make Christmas cards all through the year so  that I won't be so rushed when Christmas is approaching. I am showing a Christmas card I made using this cute kitty image from Penny Black. 

I used two different embossing folders on the background (trees and snow). The green card stock had a white core, so I sanded the snow so that it woud look like snow falling. I swiped Distress Peeled Paint ink over the trees to make them stand out. The image was fussy cut and adhered to the card.

Embossing Folders:  Trees and Snow - Sizzix (Tim Holtz)
