Today i have a scrapbook page to share with you - I am a lapsed scrapper - but really feel the need to start catching up a bit. I've also got a card to share with you following Barbara Grays Tuesday U tube torn gelli plate film - Cool!
First off- the scrapbook page - when the sunday stamper's theme this week was Memories I immediately thought of scrapbooking and the first photos that came to hand were from my eldest daughter Lucy's 6th birthday. I followed a sketch from scrap365 and this is what I did:
The pink card is from coordinations and I started by adding the diamond pattern on it using a mask from imagination crafts and some distress ink applied using cut and dry foam. Next I added the photographs.
Then i turned to diecutting and used a TH fluorish die and a TH lattice framework die.
Finally I stamped up the title bar then added the flowers - from moulds and Utee in the melt pot - and also the stars that I was sent when I won a candy from Heather from the House mouse challenge. Thanks heather xx.
I'd like to enter this layout into:
scrap365: Sketch
Sunday stamperpinkleart : Memories
Next up is my first attempt at Barbara Grays 3 layer torn gelli plate technique - this is a clever one and I like it - you can see it here.
its not quite up to barbaras' standard but not bad i think for a first effort! I shall be playing with this idea I think!!!
Hope you have enjoyed your visit - thanks for coming and please come back again soon!

What a gorgeous scrapbook page, and a great idea to catch up to. It seems like only yesterday my daughter was 6, now shes 30 - I wonder what I did with the pics of her birthday. A lovely example of the gelli plate technique too.

Rachel, Love this card, you did it wonderfully well, and the color is fantastic. Thanks for providing the link to the video. I watched the Sheena Faux leather & glycerin after hunting it down. You followed her technique and honestly, I liked _your_ project with that technique even better than the one in the video. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteI don't have a gelli plate as the cost has always put me off but I do like the effects you can get playing with one. Maybe when my boat sails in!! hugs Mrs A.
