Gelli Print Christmas Card by Angie Coomber

 Hello arty friends, 

By now you all know how much I love my gelli prints and while looking through some of them I had an idea for a Christmas card.

I started by cutting away part of a DL card to create (half) a Christmas tree shape.  

I chose a blue gelli print for the background on the inside part of the card. 

For the tree part I chose a green gelli print.

Next I stamped some baubles and a shooting star on (you've guessed it) another gelli print and cut them out.

I used some of the tiny background stamps to emboss snowflakes and stars on the blue background.

I glued the shooting star onto the background and used foam pads to stick the baubles onto the tree, then added a Christmas quote sticker.

To finish the card I used black Distress Ink around the edges to make the colours pop, added some glitter on the baubles and shooting star, some white dots and a few gems.

Hope you like it!

Until next time,

Hugs from Angie x

Happiness is a state of mind - Art Journal Page

Hello Everyone, Shilpa from the Design Team here. I am sharing with you a journal spread, for which I've used Rubber Dance Nostalgic Couples , Something Wonderful and few other stamp sets. Here's my procedure... To make the texture on the journal page, first I cut out this piece using a die. I adhered that die cut pieces on pages and applied embossing paste through stencil.  Let it dry completely.   To bring colours to the page I spritzed randomly with  Peacock Feather, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo distress inks. To create one more layer I stamped circles and text on the page. In addition I applied colours from distress crayons to create depth. I stamped the Nostalgic Couple on another paper with black archival ink and coloured it with distress markers.   I adhered a few embellishments and ephemera and layered the lovely couple image onto it. On the other page, I added words fro

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho

I Wish I Could Art Journal - by Bibi

Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether what I've made for today can be called an art journal page or altered canvas, because it's really neither .. It's not a page in a journal and the "canvas" is a piece of cardboard, so... maybe it's a hybrid of sorts. No matter what it's called, here it is! And this is what it looks like with the guitar flap open: The reason why I made this .. "whatever it's called" .... is that I've had this bundle of guitar string-looking wire lying on the floor in my studio for some time. Yes, on the floor! (If you thought I'm a very neat and tidy person, I'm sorry to burst the illusion). I've no idea where that wire bundle came from, and I'm not sure why I hadn't bothered to pick it up... but I've looked down on it from time to time, thinking I could probably use it for something, some fine day... .... and then, a few weeks ago a friend of mine was visiting, he pic
