#gelypostcardplay, Number 8 A shakin' Green Door!

Here's my number 8 for Ceri the Crafters . I had the door diecut...and was thinking 'Shakin' Stevens'  (Green Door) so it went from there. I thought it would be an easy one, but no! I used one of my postcards, which I'd cut from a 12x12 covered with shopping recepts, and what with the paint and glue, the die-cut didn't like it very much! The fiddly bits in the door's windows, just wouldn't cut out. 

Anyway!! I went through nearly all my green/greenish 'pulls', then embossed a brownish 'pull' with a Tim Holtz 3D brick embossing folder, to make a wall... added a bit of scorched timber to it first, then, as the song goes, I needed a  midnight clock, while hunting for that, I found the dancing skeleton die... and so, my sentiment was formed! But it wasn't finished....I needed an eye! Huh? The keyhole was too small and the door knob in the door diecut, only embossed, so I found the smallest wobbly eye I had and used that, voila! The card was done! So,card 8 for Ceri's #gelypostcardplay, is finished!  Mind you, if I could've found a small piano, I might've even added that too! Thank you for stopping by!

Ceri's #GelyPostcardPlay-It's an 007 shaken, Not Stirred!

 

 Yes, it was definitely a dodgy number seven, but that one's gone now! It might return as a revamped number 17 or 27 at a later date, but for now, here's my new 007!  Challenge invented by  Ceri The Crafter's #GelyPostcardPlay. Just Google that, and you'll find loads! It's happening for the whole month of July. (Try saying all that while munching on toast) So, I have made another number 7... it's been Geli printed with several shades of green and a bit of gold plus some rings. Then after that, I had no idea what to do ...but the rings, and the fact that it was number seven, gave me the idea of James Bond..  Plus the fact that my fingers are covered in gold paint, (gold fingers) and I nearly ran out of time, hence, 'No time to 'dye'....as in dye-cut....and double plus, as it took me ages to remember where that glass die was! That was actually cut out from the mag that I used to clean off my prayer.

 

All the number sevens and zero's were cut from scraps of gelli-printing The die came from Die Cutting Essential Magazine ages ago. I think it even looks ok in landscape...looks like someone's having a sip!

That's it for today! I'm off to take two dogs for a walk! Still haven't mowed the lawn or cut the hedges, but 'tomorrow is another day'. No pun intended! Catch you all later! Thank you for stopping by!

Ceri's GelyPostCardPlayChallenge #6

 Yay! I'm still doing Ceri the Crafters #GelyPostCardPlay Challenge. I wanted to do 'The Prisoner' for number 6. I am not a number, I am a free man...Who is Number One? I am number two. You are Number 6...etc!  A 1966-68 TV series filmed in Portmeirion, Wales. The coloured houses at the bottom are meant to portray 'The Village'. The circles are supposed to look a bit like those bubbles that chased Patrick McGoohan across the beach if he tried to get away. I stamped some numbers on the card, but they went a bit smudgy, so added some silver sticker numbers too. The badge I've had for years and was quite pleased when it suddenly turned up, so I could use it! All the papers I've used are what I've geli-printed 'specially for this challenge (I didn't really have any before!) Have visited The 'Village', a couple of times, many years ago. Well worth a visit.

So, that's my card number 6 for the #GelyPostcardPlay challenge. It looked so much better in my head! but as least I'm getting quicker at making them. Still create the same mess though! That's it for today! Scroll down to see my other postcards in the challenge and of course, this weeks Freebie! If no one downloads it, 'they' will take it down. If that happens, just email me! Thank you for stopping by!

GelyPostCardPlay #4-Challenge along with Ceri

   Morning Crafty Peoples. I'm here again with #4 of CeritheCrafter's July challenge #GelyPostCardPlay. As I type this, I have no idea what the postcard will look like! I'm thinking of a night sky! I have a bluey print and a black print... Well, I'd better go  make it!!

And! Hours later... here it is. The black was too dark, so I cut the 'ground' out of that, one of the blues was a bit too wishy-washy, so I cut the fox and the rabbit out of that. Then the second pull on the black made that sort of speckled effect, so I used that and added more white dots. I wanted to add a moon. I found the die set, but the moon was missing-then I realised there wasn't really enough room, and it would've been too big anyway. So, forget the moon! I stamped the number 4 onto another scrap of geli paper and then added 'moon beam circles' with some  shimmer paint through a stencil. The plastic purple dotty thing  under the card in the second picture, was from the £1 shop... I use it to add textured dots, it's really a cat or dog licking plate. So that's #gelipostcardplay number 4 done!  On to number 5!  Thank you for stopping by!

GelyPostCardPlay #3

 I don't actually believe it...I've made it to number 3.... Here's my latest #GelyPostCardPlay, joining in with Ceri's challenge!  Now, someone tell me!??? What's the difference from a ICAD and a Post Card!? Maybe I could join in with a ICAD challenge too!

This is one of my messy work tops...there's at least three more!

I wanted to add a clock or watch stamp, but couldn't find one  I liked... so used this compass instead... I think it still...'works'! I've used lots of different paint, bubble wrap, cardboad stripes, a white and black pen, and diecuts and a sticker #3. The words were typed on my laptop. Also  join in with the fun at #pmartistsstudio.  That's it for now. Here's Cerithecrafters number 3. Thank you for stopping by!
