My work area is a mess! Well, let me re-phrase...it's a wonderful assortment of crafting supplies and tools showcasing my love of all things artsy! Better?!?
How I find a space to work always surprises me. But I always do. I'm sure most of you can relate.
On my desk this week is an assortment of card making supplies. I'm on a roll with my mop up sheets and gelli plate prints. I'm still perfecting the process of gelli printing - if there's such a thing, but I am definitely having fun!
Photos of some of the prints:
Thanks to Lisa of Bloom Arts for sending me an 8x10 plate. It was such a nice and greatly appreciated surprise. I love it!!
Settle into your favorite comfy chair, grab something to eat/drink then head over to Stamping Ground to visit other work desks on the WOYWW challenge site. Check out what others around the world are working on and leave a comment or two. You will be inspired!
Remember those little chipboard squares I had on my desk a few weeks back? Here are a couple of cards using them. The jelly fish are a digi stamp from Stamp Prints.
Here they are all matted and attached to card bases. Love!
Products Used: cardstock; background stamp with metallic ink; chipboard square; washi tapes, assorted sprays/paint for background; watercolor pencils; Wink of Stella pen; thread; stamp; dimensional tape.
Dorlene, what a blessing from Lisa! Those pulls are fabulous! I love your flare with words, lolol! Call it what you want to, I say, it's just plain artsy!!! LOLOL Beautiful cards that your recipients will love! :) Blessings, Felicia #43
ReplyDeletebusy well used desk. I do like the rephrased definition of the desk. My is always in a state of chaos but I have found I function better in my creative world when it is like that! Hope you have a great week and have fun crafting. Vickie aka Okienurse #6

Always like to see a busy desk, makes me feel right at home. Gorgeous cards you've made. Gelli prints and mop up sheets all make great backgrounds. Have a great woyww, Angela x 17
ReplyDeleteHello Dorlene. Looks like you have been playing a ton on your desk with all those great goodies just at hand. Your card bases are stunning I haven't added a gelly plate to my stash yet but still debating myself to adding another tool. Lol. Thanks for visiting me earlier and have a wonderful week Hugs ~Anne L#5
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful work - your gelli prints are fabulous and look so good on your cards. I particularly love the background with the black birds against it, such beautiful colours and such a delicate subtle pattern - just lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week,

Hi, Dorlene -- that's a lot of creative output going on! Looks like you've been enjoying your gelli plate. Thanks for your suggestion about pocket pages in my Disney album -- I've been using them quite a bit -- all different configurations -- they absolutely do come in very handy! Happy WOYWW! ~ Laura #34
ReplyDeleteGelli Printing is so addictive :) Its fun to see you are using yours up too! Thanks for the earlier visit, ~Stacy # 45
ReplyDeleteBelated Happy WOYWW, Dorlene. I love your revised description of your desk - methinks it would apply to every crafters desk! Your cards are beautiful, your backgrounds are fabulous. Many thanks for visiting my blog this week. Have a great Sunday. Elizabeth x #41
ReplyDeleteI've not tried gelli printing yet - not sure I dare to as it might just be another "thing" I have to get and then not use (much like my bind-it-all).
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good week!

I'm the same way. I rarely dive in right when I see something I "need". I thought about this one for awhile and so far I love playing with it. Now to use the prints! LOL
