SplodgeAway! My favourite technique!

Good morning lovelies! It's "My favourite technique" week on the http://www.splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/

I have many techniques that I love to use with my masks so it was a very difficult choice, but I had to choose one! So I thought I'd share the Gelli plate multi layer technique using the Floral foundation nesting flowers and the large mixed floral mask!

I'm sorry, this is a long and picture rich post!

So here's what I used!

I never clean my Gelli plate, you can get some interesting designs!

So brayering on my first colour!

 

Lay the bubble wrap over the mask!

 

 

After lifting the first print add another colour

Then roughly laid the loose flowers out sort of on top of the first print but not perfectly!

Then bubble wrap over the flowers!

Here's the next print, using the same paper of course to create the multi layered design!

Then another colour!

 

After lifting that print, I laid the mask and used low tack tape to hold in place then placed the loose flowers inside the mask!

 

Using two different colour DI I carefully inked! Then removed the loose flowers!

Then removed the mask, to reveal the fab multi layered design!

And here's the finished card! I added a sentiment from Visible Image, some clear Dew drops and a pretty ribbon and matted and layered onto an 8x8 card base!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial on multi layered Gelli plate design? Thank you for visiting, please pop back to the Splodgeaway blog each day to see what the rest of the talented DT have chosen xx

Zoe July Challenge "Copy that"

Good morning Lovelies! Wow July is here, how scary is that? Over half way through the year already and still not had much summer, I do hope we are going to get some summery weather soon?

So onto our July Challenge which is "Copy That" which is sponsored by Stamping Dragon! A nice easy challenge this one, you don't have to copy exactly what one of us have done, you can copy the layout or colour scheme or image, just don't forget to mention who you have copied!

I used "Flowers" Digi stamp from Stamping Dragon!

I coloured them in with Spectrum Noirs! The background is a selection of Jofy stamps, the leaves which are decoupaged are Studio 490 stamps! The butterfly is a mould which I used a light texture paste, it took about 24 hours to dry, but it's great it's very flexible a bit like jelly! I just added some gilding wax to it for a bit if shimmer and colour! I hope you like it?

Thank you for visiting, please pop along to http://cardsgalorechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/?m=0 and check out the rest of the talented DT's samples, and be inspired to join in.

Have a great day xxx Zoe xxx

Anything but a card for SplodgeAway!

Good morning Lovelies!

Today I am showcasing a project I made using a fabulous mask by SplodgeAway, it's on their blog,

http://splodgeaway.blogspot.co.uk/

 

 

I used light modelling paste through the mask, i also used the fancy lattice mask too with acrylic paints, then added lots of bit and pieces from my stash to create texture, then just coated with Modgepodge and painted with acrylic paints, the sentiment was stamped onto tissue and adhered with beeswax, I added beeswax here and there over the canvas to create dimension and texture, I added Silver Gilding wax to the modelling paste, the Canvas is 8x10 inch, the largest I've done so far! I enjoyed creating it, I'm not keen on parts of it though, but it was the first time I'd used this technique!

I love being on the DT of SplodgeAway, such fabulous products, thank you Tom and Susan xx
