Designs By Ryn Rising Bubbles Stamps... for my Journal Page.

Morning Bloggers.

I had a fun day with my crafty mates at the Allhallows Crop yesterday.

It was 'playtime' with loads of stash. Some things worked, others didn't. My rubbish BIN was full by the end of the day!

This page, in my small Journal, was created using Inktense Blocks for the background, before stamping some circles and heat embossing them in White EP.

A Tim Holtz Stencil and Wendy Vecchi Archival Inks, along with a  

Tim Holtz sentiment stamp and Designs by Ryn Rising Bubbles  

I love 'em! 

Thanks to all my friends at the crop for a very happy day X 

Thank you for checking out my blog today.

Gelatos,Gesso and a PaperArtsy Stamp

Me again Bloggers! 

Another Journal page that I created
 whilst at my Workshop, last Sunday.

This page was painted first with Gesso.
When that was dry, I added a layer of  
White acrylic paint.

After making sure the paint base was dry 

I applied various colours of
 Gelatos stick paints over the top,
 added some water and allowed the colours to drip.
My friend, Chris Hearn had nicer 'drips' than the rest of us.
Chris reckoned we were all suffering from 
 Drip Envy!
More drying then Distress inks applied through a Tim Holtz Stencil.
The main stamped images are 
from PaperArtsy
Thanks for popping over to my Blog. 
Enjoy your day
