SUMMER OF COLOUR WEEK 2

Morning all, well I have to stop with this orange and hot pink because I've got a little bit obsessive.  I mean not a bit obsessive but quite obsessive, it started with a gelli plate session, unlike last week where I was churning out the A4 pieces this week I started that way and then thought "What about all those 12 x 12 sheets of white paper that come in the scrapbook albums?" - so I set too with those!  Mmmmmm so here we go - eyes down starter for ten no conferring

First up 12 x 12 layouts, this one was using a fabulous scrapbook sketch from UK Scrappers from their Old Stash New Stash inspiration post, check these out in the Inspirations and Challenges threat.  It's a really versatile sketch and great for 'using up' leftovers when you've been blitzing your way through layouts and have lots of leftovers!
This one was is part of a double page, documenting an early gelli plate session with my sister, samples of our work
 And a jaunty shot of the state the house was in as a result LOL
 Here they are as the double page
Next up I used a blonde moments paper originally a Christmas paper with reddish pink and green circles on it, I spent some time painting over the green circles, great fun, I then used some gelli prints on the page, this one is another sketch from the Old Stash New Stash inspiration - this one being June's sketch (again so versatile).
This one using a gelli print background I loved how it turned out but then like I said got a bit obsessed generating lots of gelli prints!
 Then I did cards, not fully finished but a good start.

Then I started some mail art

 Can't wait to see the colour choice for next week!
