STAMPlorations Giving Thanks ...

 Welcome to this year's STAMPlorations Giving Thanks Blog Hop and Giveaway :


There are prizes to be won and lots of giveaways ... as well as an opportunity to see some amazing projects from the design team.  So get yourself a coffee (or tea) pull up a chair and check it out.  I have created two cards:




Firstly I created a background card using my gelli plate, acrylic paints and stencils - you can see the detail in the close up photograph.  The beauty of using a variety of stencils is that you create a lot of texture on the gelli plate by adding layers of colour before picking up the print, I think it adds extra interest.  I die cut the leaves to create a negative space and adhered this panel using foam adhesive to add additional dimension.  I also die cut 'thanks' a number of times to give depth to the sentiment.



This card also uses card coloured on a gelli plate plus lots and lots of 'thanks'!

I used:

I hope you will join in with the blog hop and get lots of new ideas for your creating.

Stay safe
