Love is in the air (by Debbie)

 

 

Good morning. We take inspiration from many different places and my card today

was inspired by our Design Team member Doreen. She has made a couple of cards using her Gelli Plate and it prompted me to find mine and have a play.

 

 

 

I like to use Adirondack dye ink pads as the ink doesn't puddle on the Gelli Plate.

I inked the plate with a brayer using Stream coloured ink pad then place the heart stamp from Fluttering Hearts onto it. Each time I cleaned the stamp with kitchen paper to remove the ink.

 When I had filled the plate I laid the card onto it, taking a print. The advantage of using the ink is that the plate is much easier to clean.

The topper is stamped with Black Memento ink and coloured with alcohol pens. I love the blue and red together so matted onto red card.

 

At the end of last year I attended a journal class. I decided I would use it for techniques that I love

 and would be able to catalogue my favourite bits and bobs.

The background for these pages was a sheet of card that I had sprayed inks and shimmer sprays.

I glued it into my journal ready to add to at a later date.

I stamped the hearts with red ink and stencilled onto the pages.

The words are from Artistic Expressions and I think they fit well with the Rose and Punky Heart which were stamped onto card, coloured then cut out and glued onto the pages

 

 

Thanks for visiting
