So I loved class at the Inkpad a few weeks ago, I really wanted to try out some of the techniques Cheiron taught us and I also felt that the Gelli plate needed an outing.
I also wanted to use my new Mama Elephant stamps and die (bought at the Inkpad), to make a few cards for some of my friends.
Here are the four cards that I made -
They were a lot of fun to make.
Card 1 - Technique used - ink onto a stencil (Stampin' Up), spritz with water, flip over onto your paper - EEK!!
Card 2 - I used a gelli plate here - first time - love the result. Stencil is by
Card 3 - Technique used - apply stain through a stencil (Hero Arts) and then spritz with water and dry.
Card 4 - Technique used - apply white distress paint through a stencil (Simon says stamp), using a dabber. When dry blend ink over the paint for a resist.
I used a lot of things, as you can probably tell... Ranger distress inks, stains and paints. Bling by Simon says stamp and papermania. Card blanks by American Crafts. MFT stitched oval and rectangle dies.
So much fun to make and a really great first outing for my new Mama Elephant stamps and die.
