Stencil Club

In November I joined StencilClub which is run by Stencil Girl.  I love Stencil Girl products and have quite a few!

The great thing about StencilClub is that the stencils are designed for and sold only to club members.  You get three stencils with each month of your subscription: one 9" x 12" stencil, one 6"x 6" stencil and one 4" x 4" stencil.

The first stencils I received were December's subscription.  I really wasn't expecting them to arrive before Christmas but they did!

And within 10 minutes I had put them to use making backgrounds.

I limited myself to 4 colours of paint and the 3 stencils and then just played using the Gelli plate.

I will probably print some more colours over the top next time I have the gelli plate out.  They need a pop of white or black I think.

Thanks for stopping by.

A finished project

I love to celebrate my finished projects - mostly because there are so few of them.  I have lots of things in progress!

You may remember that last year I did a class with Seth Apter called 52 Card Pickup.  I didn't finish it on the day but hooray!  I have finished all the cards.

And here are all 52 altered playing cards inside the covers.

 I gave them all to a friend who was thrilled.

Thanks for stopping by.

Glimpses of Jesus 1

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Simon's first post is about Creation. 

Phil, who is a member of my church, wrote an amazing poem and he gave me permission to use part of it for this study.   I placed Phil's poem over a photo of one of the backgrounds I painted last year and printed it out on photo paper.

I am using a small Dylusions journal for this study.  It is one that I had already dried off stencils and stamps on odd pages.  The first double page looked like this.

I put some white gesso over the writing.

Then I stuck the photo onto the page and wrote underneath.

I'm really looking forward to this Bible study looking for Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament.  I hope you will join me.

Thanks for stopping by.
