Getting painty with my gel press!


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 spending some of your day with me!
Crafty hugs and see you soon!

Happy Wednesday ! My second time posting for WOYWW and I am really enjoying myself, if you want to take part pop over to this pace. Its great fun seeing each others desks and crafty mess haha. This is my desk, a mess I know hehe! Okay, so working left to right on the first picture. Lots of ribbon on the left and a little jar of metal embellishments, a tub of bows, stick pins, mdf butterflies, a round box covered with vintage style tissue paper, small flowers and gems. Lastly on the right is adhesive glitter paper. This is a closer view, with all the goodies on my desk I decorated the box lid. So now I start being crafty if you would like to see the step by step, please read on. So to begin, I ripped some of the glitter adhesive paper into strips and stuck them randomly on the box. Next I cut some pieces of different ribbon and folded them in half. I then stuck the cut ends to the lid. I did this to add dimension to my arrangement. Then I chose th

 Good Morning Friends Happy WOYWW! So today, my desk is a tad empty. Yesterday there was no room to move as I had finished the advent swap envelopes.  So I had a trip to Bristol so popped into Hobbycraft to grab a few things, one being this pack on pretty coloured cardstock. I have also been playing with some more acrylic pouring, this was a dirty pour using the left over paint I had from making a gift. I use the spotty paper cups to pour the paint. I just wanted to apologise that I do take a few days to catch up, on reading your lovely blogs. I hope you don't mind as I like to relax with a cuppa and have a read of a few each day. Speaking of a cuppa I am enjoying a coffee right now, ready to start the day. If you want to join in with this desk madness, head over too The Stamping Ground! Thank you for spending some of your day with me. Ellie x

Hello Everyone! Today I have spent the morning sanding drawers for my advent calendar. Lots of dust and sandpaper. See more desks at the stamping ground, click here. Sharing my work desk for the first time today, a lovely friend, Sarah (www.sarahscraftshed.co.uk) told me about it and I was very excited to take part. If anyone else would like to join in head over to the link I posted above and get involved every Wednesday. On yesterday's blog I posted a photo of a background I had created using distress inks, I decided to make something using this colourful piece today. To start I cut the watercolour card in half so I could create two toppers or mixed media pieces. Firstly I used my 'Phill Martin Sentimentally yours' background stamp called 'Splatterlicious cracked & splattered background'. I love this stamp, I never use it on a block or using a stamp platform. I find I get wonderful effects just holding it and pressing certain areas into the ink, the
