I went for G: blue, lace, stamp, tag, polka dots (do bubble wrap impressions count as polka dots?) I cut the tag from a sheet created with my Gelli plate. You get fabulous lace impressions by pressing fabulous lace into the paint, removing it then pressing your card onto the plate. I'd also made the bubble wrap dot impressions before pressing the card onto the plate, so it was achieved all in one go. There was a natural border between the dots and the lace, so I hand stitched a couple of lines using twine, which means I can enter it into the Less is More challenge:
String or Twine

Wow! Shirley, you are rocking all these new techniques! I definitely would think that bubble wrap impressions qualify for polka dots! Fabulous stitching and sweet bits of bling :)

That was G for gelli plate wasn't it? Awesome effects, Shirley ... love the wee sequins! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove the texture you created on your tag. But I actually came over from the Magenta blog because I wanted to tell you how I loved the ATC's you made for the swap. Gorgeous colours and texture.

Thanks so much

"Less is More"
"Stampiness" great new word for your Gelli-ing talents. Of course those are polka dots. And lace. You did it, combined those two. I've actually had a look at the Gelli world. Could be another total money black hole - have you seen the round one? But hey, you use up the stash of paints. Does that justify?
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you at Simply Create Too!
great blue tag! Love the printed background. Such beautiful texture. Thank you so much for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Hugs, Sandra
