Happy Saturday to you! I swapped out my blog header last week with something I had created and wanted to share some of the details with you.
The new craze out there is the gelli plate. I decided to give it a try and have been playing around with paints, stencils and the gelli plate. This project came from a session with warm fall colors and one stencil. I loved how this series turned out. This project was made from me pulling up the stencil from the paint filled gelli plate and applying the painted side of the stencil onto white cardstock. I loved the effect and put the stencil back onto the leftover paint on the gelli plate and repeated the process until I covered the cardstock with varying depths of paint. After that had dried I stamped the beautiful butterfly multiple times using versamark. I sprinkled Stampendous Aged Spice Embossing Enamel over and heat embossed them.
I knew I wanted to update my blog header so I added the Creativity quote with the same embossing enamel.I then cut down the size of my background leaving the butterfly wing open on the top. I sprinkled the surface with mica flakes.
I then used Picasa (software) to add my blog name across the top and crop the image to create my blog header.
