Sing A Song | Stampotique ATC Swap

Hello Lovelies,

I must admit I haven't been feeling the best again so I haven't been making much projects or youtube videos. I became sick again for the 2nd time this month but I am starting to feel better. So I joined a Stampotique ATC swap for the month of July and the theme is "Sing a Song". Not gonna lie, it took me a long time to make these 2 little ATCs  but I like how they turned out.  I will be entering these ATCs in different challenges. For the Sing a Song swap I decided to use song lyrics/song titles.

This first ATC will be entered in Haunted Design House "number of the beast" challenge to celebrate the 666+1 followers. You had to use a monster or beastie or anything that you  can be inspired with from the challenge name. 

So I used Mink by Stampotique because she gives off a creepy beastie feel and I love it! And my song lyric is from the song "Skulls"  by one of my favourite bands The Misfits. I hope it is beastie enough. The background was made using gel medium and a Tim Holtz stencil called Shattered. I love how it turned out and I applied my own homemade high flow acrylic black paint on top.

For my second ATC I made it with the new Stampotique Challenge in mind. The theme is "love, anniversary, wedding" and I went with love.

The song I picked is called "Give Me Love" by another one of my favorite bands The Used. The heart in the background was made from one of my homemade Gelli Plate and I just stamped on it and cut out heart shapes. I used various heart punches and glitter tape to punch out hearts. And I love the little acrylic flower on her hair. The stamp I used is Chicken by Stampotique.

I will also enter this ATC in Simon Says "anything goes" challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Make You Own Homemade Gelli-Plate! DIY & Tutorial

Hello Lovelies!

It's a dreary day here in Montreal today but I wanted to stop by and share my most recent DIY video tutorial. For those of you who haven't watched it yet, a few days ago I posted on my youtube channel my new DIY which is how to make your own Faux-Gelli Printing Plate!

I've been eyeing Gelli plates for months now, contemplating whether it is something I need, or should invest in and loving all the different prints people have made and used on project. So I came up with my own version of a Gelli Plate!

It is super simple and easy to do and will only take a few minutes to put together. All you need are 2 things... ready to hear how I made it??

Watch down below to find out :) 

you won't regret it.

How cool is that?? I love using my homemade gelli plate and creating different and unique prints every time.

If you decide to make my version of a Gelli Plate I would love to see the prints you create! 

That's it for today

Serena.
