Cards for twins....

My best friends' twins are 19 this week, so I used a couple of my Gelli plate backgrounds to make their cards....both have a metallic shimmer to them but one one is grungier!

Clares Roc Nicholas cat is tissue paper, with gold perfect pearls crown, flower and leaves. The butterflies are metallic and shimmer in the light.

Jack has Heart Throb, printed onto sheet music and standing on a washi tape wall. The diamonds are grunge paste.....

Now I need to think about all the December birthdays.......

Mixed Media Day

Today I attended a mixed media workshop at the Craft Barn, hosted by the lovely Helen Chilton. First workshop I have attended and I loved it!! Here are a few pictures:

Canvas with background stamps...

 Added glass paint over the top...

Stamps on shiny paper and coloured with glass paint....

And positioned onto the canvas....

With added grunge paste, gold leaf and black outlines...there were acetate flowers but I didn't think they were needed.

Pleased with the result but may well colour in the faces as the white is quite stark.....

Also my ATC's are finished and will be posted tomorrow :)
