Acorns .....

A set of Autumn Inchies made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum ......

I used old packaging as the base and punched out the 1 x 1 inch squares.  The background was made from a Gelli plate print and I have stamped and coloured with leaves, acorns and watercolour brushpens.  The words were printed and applied as shown.  I have edged the Inchies with brown chalk ink !

Quirky Feathers .....

A set of ATC's made after being inspired by Kate Crane.  The backgrounds are made with a Gelli Plate.  The feathers are diecut and coloured with Chalk inks and the whole lot decorated with watercolour brush pens, white pigment marker, stamps in various inks & gold paint.

Really enjoyed making them too !

Happy Birthday .......

I made this birthday card using a 5 x 5 inch square white card base. I then trimmed a matt from pale green card and stuck a trimmed Gelli plate background I had previously made using acrylic paints and a stencil onto this.

The ribbon was made from purple satin ribbon and adhered over the mat with red line tape.

The sentiment and heart (Stampin' Up) were stamped on white card with Memento grape jelly dye ink.  This was trimmed and mounted on foam pads over a piece of mauve hammered card.

3 pearlescent cabochons were added on the ribbon to finish.

In the Pink

 

This card was made using a Gelli Plate background made with Adirondak dye inks and a brayer.  The stamping has been done with Versafine ink directly onto the plate after brayering.  Most of the stamps used were outline stamps.

 

The colouring was done with more Adirondak inks applied with a waterbrush to fill in the petals to the desired colour depth.

 

I have then applied iridescent glitter over dots of dried clear glue to highlight the images.

The card was trimmed and edged with barn door Distress Ink applied with cut'n'dry foam and matted onto a piece of moss green coloured card.

Soaring Spirit

This is this months postcard for the UK Stampers Postcard Swap.  We had to use a well loved stamped image or a colour theme that we relish in !

For me I have just started becoming a purple and pink (rather than a blue) fancier.  Hence the colour choices for this.  It's a bit spooky too and I have never used these stamps before.

A Gelli Plate background on white card started this 6 x 4 inch postcard.

The images of the lady and birds were added by stamping in Memento onyx black whilst the grunge alphabet was stamped in satin red Versafine ink.  The words were printed on the inkjet printer, stuck in place and edged with fine Micron Pen in black.  Some x's were stamped in Versamagic chalk inks in turquoise and lilac.

Some accents were added with white Posca marker and the edges completed with dusty concord Distress ink applied on cut'n'dry foam.  I have sprayed the card with matt acrylic lacquer to seal.

A Sprinkling of Fun

 

I have made this card today.  I have used a Gelli Plate background made with stamps & brayer and Adirondak/Versafine inks.

Some overstamping was done in Versafine onyx black ink.  The edges were finished with Distress inks in barn door and faded jeans, applied with Cut'n'dry foam.

The words were stamped on heavy paper in black Versafine, edged with faded jeans Distress ink and stuck in place.

Finishing touch was to add some pva glue in dots and apply holographic glitter to finish.
