When???

I've been away from the computer for a few days again - nothing untoward, just a couple of appointments and then leading on to eating out with hubby! On both occasions we could have come straight home but one thing leads to another and there's still h@*$&<%£k to be done!!

I have found time for some crafting(getting my priorities right!) - I am taking part in Brigit Koopsen's new gelli print challenge - she is showing techniques on instagram and once again there is so much to learn about the gelli plate!
Yesterday's was all about making tape using the gelli plate - I used some that I made to make a journal page for Erika's Polka dots,Stripes, Plaids or Patterns theme at Art Journal journey!

 I started off with a drippy watercolour page and then cleaned off my brayer to make some stripes.

 More stripes were made by adding the tape and some stripy stamping.

I also added some gold paint that was left on my mat by dabbing it on with a paper towel.

I looked for a bird in my scraps and also found a little leafy branch. They seem to go quite well with my little paper doll and the stamped sentiment.

I also remembered to make a tag for Tag Tuesday...

..where the theme is Purple.

I used the same drippy colours and then stamped a daisy from AALL and create (by Tracy Evans) and a Crafty Individuals daisy and text. It looked a bit bare so I added the circles punched from a piece of paper on my desk.

Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!!

Thanks for looking, Chris
