Hallelujah...He is risen!! by Jane

Hallelujah!!! ..and a very Happy Easter to you all. As it is Easter Sunday, obviously I have made easter cards to show you, and best of all, I made all three of them with my one mop up sheet as I was crafting, funny how sometimes these mop ups make my favourite sort of backgrounds!!, especially as I saw an etherial planet in my main one. The main feature for these three cards is the fabulous window from the ARCHITECTURE stamp set.

So....Hallelujah, He is risen!!!. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter, and take a little time out of your holiday to join us in this months "new growth" challenge.

I'm lovesick for you!!!

Hi Guys, Jane here, it's my turn to do a bit of inspiration, and with Valentines Day just around the corner, I thought I would crack on with mine...even tho my idea went a little on a tangent, I have to say that I wont be sending my partner this card!!!!..he is the sentimental, mushy, long meaningful verses type of guy, bless him!!...the exact opposite of me!!!

Soooo, this card was pretty quick and easy to do, a piece of craft card, scrubbed a bit of gesso on, then stencilled using the SMALL DOTS mask, then using one of the splats from the SPLATS AND SWIRLS mask, I used a mixture of texture paste and paint to try mimic a puddle of sick.....then added a die cut heart on the top, and voila!!...not the mushiest of valentines cards, but it made me giggle!!

Hope you can join in with this months challenge, which is "Heart It"

Gelli on a Plate

I don't know about you guys, but I have a mountain of gelli prints as high as Mount Kilimanjaro!!!, some I find too beautiful to even consider using, and especially cutting up, so I put them in a drawer and just get them out occasionally to stroke.... but the majority are just waiting for the right opportunity to use....but I didn't even use any of my stash for this months "Square it" challenge, I decided to make more gelli prints using a selection of The Artistic Stamper Masks and Stencils cut them into squares, added a sentiment from Paperartsy on one, and adhered them to my card, easy peasy, and a great way to use up your mountain of gelli prints..(if your'e not like me and decided to make even more!!!).

The stencils that I have used are;

HARLEQUIN

DOG ROSE

SMALL DOTS

LARGE SEQUIN WASTE

CHEVRON

I'm looking forward to your interpretation of our "Square It" challenge

The White Rabbit!!!

Hi Guys!!. You will be forgiven if you think this is a post to do with Alice in Wonderland....but sadly noooo...The White rabbit is just who I am feeling like at the moment, running around saying "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date"!!!. Heck what a dramatic week!!..sooo...forgive me on two counts, firstly for being late for my post, and secondly for using this image once again, the lovely hydrangea from the BOTANICALS 3 plate, it is my go to flower now and I love it. So as I was saying, it has been a crazy week, and I am still feeling a bit like The Mad Hatter, running around like a headless chicken!!! and that is why I have done this super quick card for our Inktober Challenge. who doesn't love an inky background, done with spray inks and distress oxides on a book page, I already had the flowers and the sentiment stamped on tissue paper, so glued them down with some gel medium, hey presto, super quick card.

Hope you will join our Inktober Challenge, I look forward to seeing your makes.

Free As A Bird

Hi Guys, JANE here again with my take on this months "Birds and Bees" challenge.

I started off with a nice easy background, using the SMALL DOTS mask... by spritzing it then turning it over onto my paper, the SEQUIN WASTE OPEN background stamp, and the A4 SWIRL MASK.
I then stamped the bird and the cage from the FREE AS A BIRD stamp set, added the sentiment...et voila!!!
I am loving seeing your entries for our challenge, and you still have time to enter to win a stamp set, hope to see you THERE. xx

More Of Jane's Gelli Fun

 Hi Guys!!.. here is my next card for this months "stencils and masks" challenge...

If Like me, any of you have been following the fabulously talented Birgit Koopsen's 31 days of Gelli printing challenge, which is all about getting out your gelli plate and experimenting with different techniques, each day you are given a new subject to interpret as you wish, day 14 was all about tissue paper, so I got out my gelli plate, my ARTISTIC STAMPER MASKS AND STENCILS, and some tissue paper, and started making prints using the CHEVRON MASK, the LARGE SEQUIN WASTE MASK, the SMALL DOTS MASK, the HARLEQUIN MASK, and the ZIG ZAG MASK.

I then tore the pieces up into smaller pieces and glued them randomly onto my card...

Then I stencilled some glitter texture paste through the gorgeous DOG ROSE stencil...(no I haven't got tired of using it yet!!!,,lol)..then added some cerne relief as an ouline, and finally I heat embossed the word "Beauty" taken from the NUDES stamp set.

I do hope you will join in our challenge for this month which is all about "Stencils and Masks".
