Morning friends! Visit Julia and the other desks here . Today I'm afraid my desk is rather bare, I haven't had much time to craft at all. I am debating starting a new crochet blanket. We shall see. Have a lovely week everyone! Thank you for spending some of your day with me. Ellie x 

Background journal pages

Happy Sunday friends! So today I would like to share some backgrounds for my journal pages. The first one I used a Christmas napkin for the majority of it. I separated the Ply on the napkin and mod podged the patterned tissue down. Once dry I trimmed any messy edges and used some of my Faber Castell oil pastel in red. I added this in empty looking areas and smudged it with my fingers. I next used the pastel pink oil pastel and did the same for some highlights. Finally I used my Spectrum noir metallic pencils and scribbled here and there in different colours. This completes my first page, all it needs now is a focal point. For the other page, I used some patterned tissue paper, I cut it into different width strips and adhered with mod podge. Next used some of my vintage washi tape, I used 2 strips of this. To fill the gaps I again used my metallic pencils and coloured in the gaps. The pencils are so pretty and shimmery. This is then ready for a vintage style topper

Just a little thank you...

Good Afternoon friends! So I have spent today making a few thank you cards for friends and family. To make the backgrounds for these cards I used my distress oxides. I applied these using  some cut and dry foam squares I cut out. The bottom image is a small tag I made by inking the background with frayed burlap, fired brick and ....something preserves haha! I stamped onto this with Momento tuxedo black ink. The 'thanks'is by your next stamp, chameleon set. The hot air balloon is by docrafts I believe.  The oxide colours I used were, fired brick, picked raspberry, abandoned coral, lucky clover, twisted citron and wild honey.  I used chameleons stamps by Your next stamp, the owl stamp is by Clarity stamp and the ivy and lanterns are by Joanna sheen. I coloured the images using my spectrum noir graphite pencils. I am loving using these, when you add water the colour pops beautifully. I glued the images using Cosmic shimmer acrylic glue on some and
