The "C" word!!!!!!!

Yep.......It's that time of year!!!....The "C" word!!! ..All you crafters will know what I am on about!!!....."Christmas card making"!!. LOL...I can hear some of you saying that I am being a bit premature, and for a gal who if there was no last minute then nothing would get done!!!..I am pretty much organised, so yes, as the theme for this months challenge is BLUE, it was the perfect opportunity, so I have made a start on my Christmas cards.

I am obsessed at the moment with my gelli plate, so that is the route that I decided to go down. I started off with a gel printed background, then made some "bauble" shapes with my small round gelli plate, then with several Artistic Stamper STENCILS & MASKS I did prints over the top, then using paint on the gel plate as a stamp pad, I stamped the SNOWFLAKES then finished off with the sentiment from the CHRISTMAS GREETINGS stamp set.

I hope you can join in this fun challenge, and maybe start your Christmas cards too..hee hee.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star By Gemma

I am loving all Jennies star themed stanps at the moment and am having so much fun playing with them, I just had to have a messy play in my journal, it really was a must do :-) 

Steps

1- Using Gesso as a glue apply a sheet of crumpled up tissue paper to a journal page.

2- Using gel medium attach some torn book page paper, I really liked the little girl I found on the corner of a page and I just had to keep her.

3- Spread some Distress Inks onto a glass mat and spritzs with water, press the page into the ink allowing the colours to pool into each other and mix. Keeping some white space dry between layers untill happy. 

4- Using a long detailed stamp, stamp along one of the top corners and the opposite bottom corner.

5- Add some random stamping with a background stamp and one of the Distress Inks used for the first layer. 

  6- Spread some ink onto your glass mat and mix with texture paste, apply this to the page through a mask.

7- Doodle over some of the stamping and around the edge of the page.
