Dreamtime Designs challenge - A New Technique for Christmas!

Good morning all, hope you're all having a good weekend and enjoy what's left of it!

This month at Dreamtime Designs for our Brand new challenge we want you to...

Try a Technique thats New to you, and use it on a Christmas Project!

We have a FAB sponsor for you this time, a one year's subscription to Through the Craft Room Door online magazine!!! wowee I wish I could enter! ;)

So without further Ado onto my project!
I used my Gelli Plate (which I've had since July) for the Very first time! It was a lot harder than it looks when demonstrated on TV and on youtube, I got some OK and quite a few not-so-great prints so this is definitely a technique I need more practise with! I decided to use one of the prints I pulled on a Christmas Card as my own background paper. I love making my own patterned papers as I feel like I'm saving on using all my pretty bought papers up!


Here's a close up of the Gelli Printed background, I used a flower stencil and I'm quite pleased with this one, although the flowers could have stood out a bit more I think, I will have to practise with my plate a lot!

I also used on my card:
Frantage Embossing powder
Woodware Christmas Sentiment stamp
Ribbon and Embellishments: from stash

Dont forget to stop by Dreamtime Designs and enter our challenge and leave some love for all the DT sisters :)
