Morning all, I hope you are keeping warm in this chilly weather!

Just a quick post to show you a birthday card I've made for a cousin-in-law!

Me 'an 'im send birthday greetings to you Glynis x

A Hero Arts Stamp for the block colour circles, stamped with distress Inks.

Then I stamped over the top with a small stamp from the

 Circle Cluster Set from Designs by Ryn.

Six Nestie Circles with a hole punched from

 each one with a circle punch.

Three of them coloured with the distress inks 

and layered here and there.

Phew! you go round and around with this card!

A few gems, a White Uni Posca pen and a sentiment! 

Job done.

Please pop over and look at some super work from Shirley

There is a canvas that you have GOT to SEE!

and also visit Miranda, her work is truly stunning.

Both of these talented ladies are on the Designs by Ryn

design team with me.

PanPastels and a Gelli Plate

Hi ho crafters

This Tag is my DT Sample for the PanPastels Challenge Blog

It was so quick, so easy and great fun to make.

Melissa, a crafty friend, gave me a Gelli Plate as a Christmas gift

It is FABULOUS to play with! 

The background of this Tag was created with white and pink metallic acrylic paints 

mixed with some (LOTS!) of  Magenta PanPastel colour.

The Gelli Plate was covered with the paint using a brayer.

I created the pattern by 'stroking' the paint with a rubber comb thingy! 

 Thin card or paper is then laid on the top of the plate, press down gently to take a 'print'.

 Some Lavinia Stamps to complete the Tag, along with a few Shapeabilities Butterflies.

ROCK 'n ROLL !

Pop over and enter the challenge, you could win a super prize of

a trial pack of PanPastels from our sponsor Your Creativity Store.

I'm sad to say that this is the last PanPastel project from me

for the PanPastels Challenge Design Team.

Thank you so much Berni, Pete, Kerry and the gang.

I've had a super fun time.... gonna miss it.

Gelli Plate Tag.

     Happy New Year everyone. 

    I hope you had a great Christmas.

    We spent loads of time with family and friends .... cracking stuff!

   so pop over and enter the Lady Bug Crafts Challenge
This months theme is 'Anything but a card'

    There is a voucher for the winner of £15 to spend at

LadyBug Crafts.      

Have a look at all the crafty goodies!

My DT sample Tag was made using

a super Christmas present that I received from my friend

Melissa. A Gelli Plate.

Easy to use, you can create stunning backgrounds and pattens.

I brayed on some acrylic paint over the Gelli Plate.. dragged a plastic comb through the paint, then laid a sheet of paper over the top, pressing down gently and then lifted it off … bingo!

I left it to dry, die-cut the tag and finally stamped over the top using some Dylusions, leaves and flowers Stamps.

Thanks for looking today.

I'll be back soon.
I hope 2013 will be kind to us all! 

Lots going on this week......Mmmmmm .. oh yes indeed!
