2018 Christmas Card

Howdy Peeps!!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my
2018 Christmas Card.

I just ordered and received a 12 x 12 Gel Press plate!

....and I wanted to play with it!

I pulled out a few 

Perfect Paints Shimmering Matte Acrylics
Red Wagon
Moss Green
Bright Gold

Canvas Corp 
Ivory and Kraft Cardstock

Black E Flute

Tattered Angels 

Golden Orange

ArtFoamies
Circle Background Positive and Negative

Ranger Ink

Multi Medium Matte

I enjoyed a time of exploring my Gel Plate, paints and a stamp.
(sorry no photos)

My thoughts were to create a Christmas Ornament
but can I just say.....that's not working out so well.
A lot of hard work and it's not nearly as nice as I pictured in my head.

Now, I had cut my 3 pieces of monoprinted cardstock into 1 x 12 strips
so I decided to weave them together.

I then adhered the woven paper to a piece of
Kraft Cardstock with Multi Medium and let it dry overnight.

Using the Tattered Pinecone die, I diecut a piece of Black E Flute!
I colored my branch with a bit of Partridge in a Pear Tree Glimmer Mist.
I then tied a little golden bow and adhered it to the branch.

I cut up the piece of woven paper into 3 x 5.5 pieces.

I inked the woven paper and card with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide.

I then put my card together with Multi Medium!

Here is my finished card!

Hoping to have time to make up a few more of this beauty!!

THANK YOU for stopping by
to check out my creative play time!

Playing with Gelli Arts

Hi ArtFoamies and Gelli Arts Fans!!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog 

to check out my creation using products from 

both of these AH~MAZING manufacturers.

Now, I have a bit of a disclaimer. Somehow my DT box got lost in its travels, so I had to punt! I'm sooo HAPPY I owned a
 8" Round Gelli Printing Plate to work with.

As my paint color selection was WIDE OPEN, I decided to create something for my dining room. Which was SOOOO EXCITING! You see I am living in a house with bare walls. YES bare walls. We just moved into our home in October. 

Next, was to chose the ArtFoamies I wanted to play with!

I grabbed a few, trying to have each one very DIFFERENT from the other.

Woman Power

Patio Tile

HexaGone

Foambinations

Script Heart Small

Leaf Geo

Lastly, what would I print on....
so I went on hunt and chose
a couple of Vintage Music Sheets
pages from a vintage McCalls magazine
a piece of white canvas
even a vintage paper bag

(I only ended up using the fabric,
can't wait to see what I do with the papers)

Then, I let the creative process begin!!
Now, I do have to say I am VERY NEW at the whole monoprinting process. So, this collaboration was a GREAT way
for me to try different things. 

Here are a few photos of my final creation,
which now hangs in my dining area.
