Comfort and Peace


Hello and Welcome
Today's card were part of a challenge to create one inked or stamped piece of cardstock, then cut in half to create 2 cards.

So, here's what I did to create my cards.
  • On my walk, I collected some grasses and leaves that I wanted to use on my cards.
  • I got out my Gel Plate and pressed some Bundled Sage, Cracked Pistachio and some Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink directly onto my Gel Plate.  I used my brayer to blend the colours together.
  • Next, I carefully laid the grasses I had picked up onto the plate, then rubbed a piece of white cardstock over the Plate to create the print. 
  • I used my black Posca pen and splattered over the images.
  • When it was all dry, I cut the piece of white cardstock in half to create 2 A2 sized card.
  • I placed the inked panel into my Misti and one at a time, stamped the sentiment onto them.
  • I glued each finished panel onto a piece of green cardstock before adding it to the base.



Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

How beautiful Karen - Love how you have usesd the grasses against the green to form the design
I got my gelli plate out last week, and used the DOX inks, and they 'bubbled' and did not spread or blend nicely at all - I must try again
