Summer of Colour update

Well I'm not sure what happened to week 5 of Summer of Color.  I certainly didn't do it during the appropriate week but I have caught up now by doing it at the same time as week 6.

As before I used my gelli plate and stencils and took the inspiration from my Music Monday posts.

Week 5:  Red, Royal Blue and a touch of light blue.  And the song Let it Fade by Jeremy Camp.

I used two stencils and acrylic paint and these were the 3 papers I made.

And this is what I went with.  I used sticker letters for the title.  I stamped the words on the right in black Archival and then coloured them in with acrylic paint.

So onto this week: week 6.    Raspberry and Tangerine, with a splash of lemon.   And the song Blessings by Laura Story.

The gelli prints:

This is the stencil when the paint had dried on it!

And here's my page.

Summer of Color Week 4

Continuing with my theme of combining Summer of Color with Music Monday I got out the Gelli Plate again and played with this week's two main colours - pink and apple green.

To be honest I wasn't very impressed with any of them but then I had spent all of about 10 minutes on pulling prints.  In the end I chose this one for the background and put some sticker letters on for the title and printed out part of the song and stuck it down.

Summer of Color

And yes I know it should be 'colour' but it's an American meme.  This is the fourth year of Summer of Color hosted by Kristin Van Valkenburgh.   You can find out all about it here.

Week One's challenge is to use Aqua & Yellow with a smidgen of Hot Pink.

I decided I would play with the gelli plate and this was the background I liked best. I used two Dina Wakley stencils from Crafter's Workshop: Mosaic TCW348 and Church Windows TCW350.  I stuck the print into my planner which is why there's a fold down the middle.

I used some alphabet stickers from my stash to put the words from a Matthew West song which is stuck in my head at the moment.

I added a zigzag border with a Dylusions stamp and some music using a Kasiercraft stamp.  I drew round the letters with a white pen.

I featured this song on my new blog Called, Cherished, Created.
