WOYWW#771

         

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #771


Here's my desk today - More use of the Gelli plate! On the table is a journal page from my featured post above.

Last week Lisa Jane mentioned that my table does not back into a wall. I like to have a table in the centre of my room...if it was less cluttered I could work from all directions! This is the backside view...



The last few days have been really hot...37, 38, 39...so Sophie and I retreated to the craft room. We did some bubble prints and Gelli pulls.







Call on you later!

Happy  WOYWW!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Term 3 Post #15

 


     This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group


The current March Challenge is a colour challenge:

So I have used colours from the above in my make.

I started by adding acrylics to my journal page and then overstamped it with a script stamp.

I then added the image coloured with watercolours.

This is Fleur by Karen Yates


The face opens to reveal two pieces of Gelli pull - an ideal space for journalling.

I am not sure if you can read the words I added here.

In 2020, we lost both our Dad and Mum within 9 weeks of each other - this poem Warning by Jenny Joseph was one of my Mum's favourite poems.

Happy Crafting!

Gecko Galz Challenge

 

This is a Gecko Galz Challenge with a freebie image - and it's lovely!


I have used it on an card matting the white card blank with sections of Paper Rose paper Inky Antics, using Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges.


I placed the image on dimensional tape.



Happy Crafting!

NBUS March #2

 How often do I get tempted to buy some more crafty items and they lie on my desk 'waiting to be used'.

This time I made sure I was going to use these new Noolibird stamps - lovely hand-made wooden stamps, which I thought would be brilliant for some of my Easter cards... I am sharing one here.


In this one I have stamped on white, trimmed to size and matted on green card. I then added this to a background of spritzed Mica powder on a white card blank.


These stamps were stamped directly on a Gelli pull - I trimmed this to fit on an ATC.

This was more of a trial run to see how the archival stamped on the acrylics.


As these stamps are NBUS so I will share the card there...



Thank you Marie for bringing my attention to the Colorful Options Challenge.
I will also add the green chick to the March Green Challenge there!




Happy Crafting!
