Gel Florals

Hello
Today I'm sharing the last two cards made with gel prints following instructions in Giovanna Zara's ebook. For quite a while my Gelli plate has been severely underused, but it's amazing how with a few tips, you can quickly make a lot of prints that are great for backgrounds. Maybe I shall try image transfer next!

Happy crafting! xxx

Hi There

Hummingbird

Hello
Sometimes I get together with other crafty friends and we admire each other's new purchases and have a play. This usually results in a collection of die cuts and stamped images that get stashed away for future use. I've been trying to stick to my resolve to finish half completed projects and use up bits and pieces, or clear them out. Some of these have been waiting many years to be finished!

First up is a hummingbird card.

Thank you for taking a look. Wishing you a day full of sunshine and flowers xx

Materials used:

Sizzix Thinlits die: free bird

Marianne stamp and die set: two flowers

Faber-Castell Gelatos

Distress Oxide ink

Archival Ink: jet black

Golden Days

Now for a bit of bling...a card with more than a touch of gold to celebrate a golden wedding anniversary.

Not my anniversary, I still have a way to go!

February brings the rain...

Not sure where the days are going but it's February already. The verse for this month on The Craft Barn poem challenge is:

February brings the rain, 

Thaws the frozen lake again.

I have started everyone off with a mini canvas but Mickie has added a couple of twists to be included. I'm VERY glad she didn't ask me to do the twists as well! Take a look at the blog for details of how to enter and everyone's take on the poem. I'm looking forward to seeing how those twists turn out!
