Creativity

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I'm feeling better today - I'm planning a swim today - really looking forward to it - and after yesterdays run it should feel pretty lush! Here's a piccie from tuesday nights pampered chef - oh they did have fun!





I was planning to show you something else today but it wasn't quite ready - so here's one I had already done - I did it for a Craft stamper sample call - but it didn't get picked! I'll keep trying!! Lol! Anyway here it is:


The gelli plate background was created by blobbing different colours onto the plate and smearing them around with my hands - the colours were a light blue, a dark blue and a mustard colour. 


Afterwards I used the TH shatter layering stencil with some DI. I used a memory box die to cut an old gelli plate background to form the flower. I also stamped the sentiment.

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you'll let me know what you think! Big hugs and hope to see you again soon! Hugs rachel xx

    Wow love the card Rachel, gorgeous colours. I don't mind getting inky fingers but smearing paint onto a gelli plate that something new. I'll have to give it a try somewhen. Great photos of you and the girls getting creative in the kitchen.
