Gelli delight!

Well inspired by Pam over on the PaperArtsy blog this week I thought I'd get my Gelli plate out and give it a go. Goodness me it's addictive! I also wanted to do some more scrap booking and this lovely photo of beach huts taken at Southwold very early as the sun was rising last summer (or it could have been the summer before actually)  was the one I wanted to use for my happy moments scrapbook (the happy moment is Southwold and the seaside).

I picked a whole range of blue fresco's and just starting putting paint on taking prints, adding more paint and stencils, taking another print etc, etc, etc! The spare paint on the brayer I just brayered on more paper to give more stuff to play with, told you it was addictive!

I then took my Ellen Vargo Eclectica stamps and followed Pam's instructions for adding the circles. I also embossed the fine scribble circle to make it stand out more as I'd gone very tonal with the mono printing and it was all very subtle.

I've fiddled and faffed around with scraps of paper, fabric, embellishments and finally came up with this layout which I'm happy with.

I added some extra stamping using Jofy seaside stamps of beach huts and some of the Hotpicks sea themed stamps.

You can't see much of the Gelli print under it all, but hey ho!
