GelliArts March Printing Challenge - 18-23

Hello All.

I have a few more gel prints to share with you today. As usual, the daily themes are top left of each photo.

 

Those hand-carved stamps have been useful again. I carved the 'love is' right way round to work with my gel plate, and I need to do one wrong way round to stamp with.

Hope you're all having a good week. 

Thanks for visiting,

30 Days of Mixed Media With Ana - Days 7 - 15

Hi Everyone!

I thought I would bring you up to date with my entries for Ana Bondu's challenge on Instagram.

Day 7 - Embossing - I used stamp, texture plate & stencil.

Day 8 - Texture Paste - DecoArt modelling paste, stamped into, then PaperArtsy Infusions added.

Day 9 - Acrylic Paint - Had fun with some mark-making with PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylics.

Day 10 - 3D - Added some dried paint tops to acrylic paint drips.

Day 11 - Paper - My friend Sam gifted me some ephemera, which was perfect for this prompt.

Day 12 - Black - Stamping on black gesso with PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic and Carabelle Studio stamps.

Day 13 - Faux Wood - check out the process photos to see how I did this.

Day 14 - Bleach - Background made with Distress Oxides. Then I painted out the colour in the stamped Carabelle Studio flowers with bleach.

Day 15 - Gel Printing - Always fun, and some great collage papers made too.

Apologies for the long picture heavy post. I should have told you to get yourself a cuppa!

Happy crafting, and thanks for visiting,

Instagram Challenges

Hello folks!

I've joined in with a couple of Instagram challenges this month. Gio is giving out prompts every other day in April, and Ana every day of April. These challenges are fun to play along with, and are keeping me busy and motivated.

Gio's first prompt was rainbow, and I used the theme for my calendar pages.

The second prompt was Home Sweet Home, and I used some of my gel prints to create a card...

Ana's first prompt was Brushos. It's been a few months since I used these! I used them with Carabelle Studio stamps, stencil and texture plate.

Ana's second prompt was Crayons. I used Gelatos with a Carabelle Studio stencil and texture plate.

Ana's third prompt was Distress. Distress inks are another product that I rarely use now. Wrinkle free distress used to be one of my favourite techniques. Again I used Carabelle Studio stamps, stencil and texture plate.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy weekend,
