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:
CUTplorations Thanks, Trendy Leaves 2 and Gratitude Trees
ARTplorations Leaf Prints 4, Autumn Falling, Leaves 1 and Leaf Prints mini
I hope you will join in with the blog hop and get lots of new ideas for your creating.
Stay safe
