Free your Inner Creativity

Good morning all, 
Another cloudy but beautiful morning in Cheshire. 
I do hope your morning has started well. 
I had a migraine yesterday and oh bless it, it is still with me today. 
So it isn’t easy to see to type.
Fingers crossed I don’t make too many mistakes. 
Today I have a design for you, which follows on from yesterday’s YouTube video.
It is a combination of a couple of gel press techniques with a masking technique. 


Do you remember a while ago when I make a card using flower reflections and masking tape for the sentiment ? 



If you missed it the video is here


Well as you know I like to mix techniques up a bit. 



I started by masking off my card. 



Then added ink onto my gel press plate 





Followed by the stencil and more ink. 


Look at the pattern on the printing plate 




I then pressed the gel press onto my card 




This is what I got, even a bonus piece of patterned masking tape…
I have made my own washi tape…



I added one of the new sentiments, 



A couple of coordinating butterflies and some white posca splats. 

Here is a closer look 





These designs would be great to make and keep for those days when you need a ready made background. 
Let’s face it, we all have them .

I have a special Birthday card to make today 
I can’t believe that our Elliot is 4 tomorrow. 
So I had better get on, and need to find some dinosaurs 

Thanks for popping in 
Take care all 
Much love and hugs 
Jo xxx
