It's time for our first challenge starting in 2016 over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges - thanks for all the lovely make your own background entries. It was my turn to choose this theme and as we go into the New Year I thought it appropriate to say Thank You - either for gifts received or just to be grateful for what we have. I've made a Journal Page -
I started with a Gelli plate print to which I added bead gel and texture paste (through a stencil). I then added some background stamping before stamping and cutting flowers and circles from Gelli print scraps.
I've written something I'm grateful for in each flower/circle and finished off with a die cut title.As always my fellow FSC teamies have created some beautiful works of art so please head over and check them out. I hope you feel inspired to join our challenge - Don't forget we are a stamping challenge and stamping needs to be the focal point on your project. NO Digi stamps please. Our sponsor is Flonzcraft and the winner chosen at random will receive a voucher for $20 - we also give special mention to our top 3.
What a lovely idea Esther to have something that you're grateful for written on each flower. I love the print that you've achieved with your Gelli Plate and it makes a perfect background for the flowers. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and a Gelli Plate is top of my wish list, so thank you for the inspiration:) Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Sandra x
