#gelypostcardplay Card Number 30. If only we could fly!

  Morning! Well it was, it's afternoon now...the day is flying by! Here's my 30th postcard for Ceri The Crafters #gelypostcardplay July Challenge. Last card tomorrow. Did you know, that August used to have 31 days too, because the god of August didn't like the fact that the god of July had one more day than him... of course, I could've dreamt all that! Here's my postcard!

I'm quite chuffed with the way it's turned out! I don't know what Jack Bernard Cull (or Bernard Jack) would think of me, giving him butterfly wings. Yes, that's a little boy wearing that lovely dress, related to hubby on his mother's side. We think he might be Lady Pam's Dad...

I wanted to use the golden dragonfly tissue paper, which was given to me wrapped round some flowers back in March, but leaving it as a white background didn't work and I didn't have enough pink brayered tissue left to cover a postcard, so! Out came the paints and the rollers, pushed back my breakfast and rolled out a transparent Pinkish red, (Oddly, there's no name on the tube) Now, this tissue is great, coz if you roll over the back of it, the gold shows on the gelliplate. (I'm new to all this, still learning!) and it will lift up on your next pull, (or whatever it's called)

I'd already stamped a dragonfly onto a very pale pinkish (kissed with paint) card, you can just see him through the tissue. The golden dragonflies are already on the tissue. I then fussy-cut out great great cousin Jack (twice removed, probably) and added half the butterfly wing. (all butterflies, the bird and the music bit at the top are from Katy Sue) I die-cutted the 'butterfly plant' and put it into a flowerpot, added the number 30, which I did on my laptop, and then fixed on all the little tiny butterflies. I love the way the golden dragonflies shine as the light catches the card! That's it! Card number 30 done!!! Yay! Thank you for stopping by!

Ceri theCrafter's-GelyPostcardPlay Card Number 29

 

 Morning All You Crafty People! Another day, another card! Here's my card number 29 for cerithecrafter's July Challenge #gelypostcardplay,.I feel I've cheated a bit on this one. Was up about five minutes before I went to bed to do some more Geliprinting, I wanted a lighter back ground to use with a velum lady I know I have...somewhere! (This is not a lady Lyn) I know...but it is velum. And I liked the sentiment. 

It was a bit shorter than the card, so added at the bottom is some  'World' tissus paper. I had a go at adding some meltalic circles, but they are quite hard to see. Then stuck the whole thing over my freshly dried geliprint background with Collall glue, after first fixing a darker geli print scrap under the sentiment  to make it show up more, edged all around it to make it look a bit ragged, or is the rugged? (who knows) 

 Found an aeroplane sticker, die-cut the numbers, and then fixed it all onto a black background. But it does feel like I've cheated a bit, because for once, it didn't take me all day!

 So, I feel I've caught up nicely! Definitely going to go to the Market today and have a snoop around the charity shops too. Might find another Bargain Of The Week! That's it! Click on the links above to see Ceri's Number 29 and other YouTubers. Wish I could do a 'proper' YouTube Video. Before he passed John did set me up. 'go on, craft!' he said...and I did. But it's leaning all the other bits that brian (My Brain) can't cope with...yet!  Have a great crafty week. Card Number 30 tomorrow!! Thank you for stopping by!
