Coffee pot from last week ...

Hello all! I hope you are well and happy! I had a lovely weekend - we went to visit my mum and dad on Saturday and then Sunday I had a few hours with Lucy as Penny was at a friends birthday party. Me and Lucy went off up to Brockhole near ambleside and had a great time - and also booked her birthday party for the summer.

   

I don't know why that tongue has to pop out on selfies but it seems to!!!

Anyway - I just realised I haven't posted my makes I did at coffeepot last week - it was a gelli plate background making week - and these are the two cards I did at the session:





all of the stamps are from visible image - and the backgrounds were made using distress inks on a gelli plate - they were applied directly then spritzed with water and smooshed using clingfilm!

I made a few backgrounds and will be using them up in the near future I am sure!

Big hugs to you!
