June 2022 Art Journal Calendar

 Hi Everyone!

Happy June to you all! And a very happy Platinum Jubilee weekend to my UK friends. I hope the sun shines on your celebrations.

Today I'm sharing my June art journal calendar spread. 

I used some recent gelprints for the background, and my journaling shapes are fish, to tie in with Mia's new Fish theme at Art Journal Journey. 

I think my background looks like waves and bubbles, perfect for my stencilled fish.

And here's my completed May calendar...

Thanks for visiting me today,

Madonna and Child Christmas Cards

 Hi Everyone.

I recently had a sort out, and found some beautiful stamped images that my blog friend Lynne/Stampingandbeyond sent me a few years ago. The lovely Madonna and child image is by Oxford Impressions.

I decided to use the images for some more Christmas cards. I simply paired them up with some of my monoprints, and added some gold lace.

I'm linking my cards to Leah's Art Every Day Month challenge Day 23.

Thanks for visiting,

GelliArts March Printing Challenge - Days 24-31

 Hello All. Happy April!

I have my final few March mono-prints to share with you today. 

It's been a fun challenge, and has inspired a few of my hand-carved stamps in March. The elephant is one of my favourites.

Thank you for all of your lovely comments on my prints over the last month, they're very much appreciated.

GelliArts March Printing Challenge - 18-23

Hello All.

I have a few more gel prints to share with you today. As usual, the daily themes are top left of each photo.

 

Those hand-carved stamps have been useful again. I carved the 'love is' right way round to work with my gel plate, and I need to do one wrong way round to stamp with.

Hope you're all having a good week. 

Thanks for visiting,

GelliArts March Printing Challenge - Days 8-17

 Hello Everyone! Happy St. Patricks Day to you all!

I thought I'd bring you up to date with my gel prints for GelliArts March Printing Challenge.

My favourite one has to be 'Beach' this week. I'm so happy with how that one turned out. You never know what you're going to get with a mono-print. Can you see the huge waves crashing in from the left of the print?

Thanks for visiting,

Cards for Mothers and Daughters

 Hello All.

I have a couple of cards to share with you today, the first is a Mother's Day card. I used the same techniques as on this art journal page a few days ago, with watercolour paint and a black pen sketched flower.

And the second is a new job card for my daughter. Beth has taken a secondment post for a year, on a government based project for sustainable aerospace. I'm very proud of my talented girl! She's very excited by the nature of the project.

I sketched the plane, created a stencil, and after stencilling with black paint on a mono-printed background, I used a white paint pen to add details. I finished with some suitable Tim Holtz phrase stickers.

Thanks for dropping by today,

March Printing Challenge - Days 1-7

 Hi Everyone!

I found another challenge on Instagram! This one is from GelliArts who make Gelli Plates, and each day in March there is a different theme to use for your print.

Here are my first week's prints. I've used my hand-carved stamps on all but one of them, including word and number stamps that I carved the right way, so that they work with the Gelli Plate.

Happy new week!
