Thought I'd try a bit of texture and enter The Stamp Man Challenge as I was so inspired by Neil's tag and also my craft friend Julia's tag.
About Me
- BJ
- Hi, Welcome to my Blog. I'm an eclectic kind of crafter delving into many pots. I am just about managing to keep up my Scrapbooking Diary (usually about 6 months behind), plus any cards as required. I have a new found love of Watercolour and Bible Journaling plus recently Faith/Art Journaling too. I've challenged myself to make an art journal page a day for this my 60th year. Previously I've also dabbled in ATCs, Tags, Altered Books, Mixed Media, Décopatch, Knitting, Crochet, and Embroidery amongst other things. I live in Surrey, UK with my husband, our son has left home now. For exercise I usually play Badminton and go Ballroom and Latin Dancing. I also like walking/Geocaching and sometimes do a bit of Bouncing on my Rebounder (mini trampoline). I have been learning to play the harp for the past 10yrs. I am now officially retired. I am a born again Christian, currently worshiping at my local Vineyard Church.

A gorgeous tag BJ! Is that some acetate I see peaking out on the left?? I love the snowflake - one of my favourite things to put on a card etc. I want to use them all year round! Have you got the new lace TH die. . . . ??? It's on my need list! You've got loads of detail on this and it comes together so well. Juliax
Me again! Thought it was about time I officially followed your blog instead of just nosing around! x
Oooh, lovely colours, really pretty. Love the texture. Thanks for joining us at The Stamp Man challenge.
This is gorgeous and very well done. I love the composition as well as the colors you used.
You asked about gel medium. Here is an article explaining it. Of course, I thought it was a bit hard to read until you got to the part that was actually important: using it as a glue.

I also found this article. http://www.scrapjazz.com/topics/Techniques/Art_Mediums/649.php
I know some people use it for everything the glue down, and for extending the paint on their pages. I don't believe in that, since I use gel medium with great caution and care. It's expensive, but it's really the best for when we make our niches. I know of nothing else that works. I hope that helps and I hope you can find it where you live. I'm surprised that you haven't come across it in your scrapbooking journeys. It is definitely archival and acid free.
Hi there, Lovely tag and am so pleased to hear that I inspired you in some small way! Thanks for popping round to my blog earlier. You asked about the Dyan Reavely stencils-they are a new release so don't think they are in the shops yet but I know that The Craft Barn have ordered them from the trade show so keep an eye out there!
