The Glittered Poppleberry

Good day to you all! I've been playing with my gel press plate! It's soo fun hehe. As you can see on the left of the first photo I use a pad of paper to clean my Brayer off on. These pages are then use on my art journal pages as they are full of such lovely colours and patterns, no need to waste the paint. The paints I used were Pebeo acrylic paints and also some cosmic shimmer lustre paints, love them!!  Below are a couple of pages I made in my art journal using my gel press backgrounds. The page with the face I added some spectrum noir sparkle pen, in several areas. Then using a distress crayon I drew the face straight into the page. I smudged lots of the lines so it didn't look as sharp or angular. The other page I used my mod podge to stick down some scripty tissue paper I have and then again using my distress crayons I drew circles and smudged them using my fingers. I love how this page came out. Very bright colours.  Thank you for spendi

Happy spring everyone! Today I've decided to share a couple of spring cards I made using patterned paper pads I have. I love my paper pads so this was great fun. Certainly put the gloomy weather outdoors out of mind. I made these by picking papers I felt co ordinated well together, then matted and layered them with some black cardstock I have.  The paper pads I used were 'home sweet home' by craft Asylum and 'Tealightful ' by Pebbles inc. These are such pretty and colourful pads, the tealightful pad had some pretty cut aparts with spring sentiments-perfect!  I finished these off with my wink of stella brush pen or some nuvo drops in matching colours.  I hope this brought spring into your craft room! Thank you for spending some of your day with me! Crafty hugs and see you tomorrow for 'whats on your workdesk Wednesday. Ellie x
