Halloween stamps and Gelli Plate play time

Recently, I was in the company of a few good friends and very talented Ladies who have one interest in common, stamping. We played with inks, rubber stamps, paint, masks and lots of other crafty goodness. I particularly enjoyed working with my Gelli Plate, paints and stencils. So armed with more knowledge and inspiration had a day playing at home. Out came the Nevermore Halloween stamps and I played for hours.


For this card, I started with yellow card and added green and black acrylic paint to the Gelli Plate and a large circle mask.

I laid a piece of scrap paper down for the first background (pull). I then placed the yellow card down and was much happier with this one. When dried with a white pen I drew circles where they were most prominent on the card. The ravens in the tree come from the Nevermore stamp sheet and there are a few single ravens which I sat on the circles. I used Versamark clear ink and WOW Black Glint embossing powder and am pleased with the result as I wasn't sure because the paint has an uneven surface.

Thank you for stopping by Debbie.

Spooky Shoe

A quick post from me today showing a little project I've made.

When I received these stamps I immediately reached for the purple card and stamped the witches hats and shoes to make a background. As you can see it didn't end as a card. I set to and cut out a template for the shoe. Next, I inked the edges of the card and glued together then added the ribbon and a little owl that has been made from air drying clay and a mould I made. At Halloween I'll be adding a couple of spiders and standing it where the it can be seen by the children calling for treats.

Thanks for visiting. Debbie
