I haven't blogged for a while, seems other things, mainly crafting and every day obstacles get in my way, but I am in the right frame of mind now and have a multitude of ideas and things I'm trying at the moment to put on here now.
I have shelved my sewing machine for a while, until my sewing head calls me back, and have discovered the 'Gelli plate'
I have been experimenting with different mediums, firstly, Distress inks, and stamps, then acrylic paints and masks and stencils.
Above are some of the experiments I tried, using inks, the cards were done with shaving brushes and dye based inks. The fairy stamps are by 'Lavinia Stamps' the inks are Adirondack and rangers distress inks.
The Gelli plate I bought from 'Clarity stamps' my new favourite supplyer and I am now a firm follower and admirer of Barbar Gray's talents. She is an amazing artist and is right on my wavelength. not too grungy but not too perfect. she is perfect for me though. I love her artwork. and have now become a member of her stamp club. so watch this space for more ideas on stamping and my Gelli plate.
I love this 'Lavinia Stamps' Fairy, she's so cool. the background was achieved with a mask and shaving brushes and dye based inks. simple, yet effective.
These cards were all done with sponging and dye based inks, mainly rangers distress inks. masking the moon/sun and the foreground. the mushroom stamp is another by 'Lavinina Stamps' also the beautiful hanging willow branches.
