Love your work Lou it’s just beautiful 😍
Love ❤️ this Lou will have to try itxx
Very SWEET & INSPIRING! THANK U!!
I just discovered the Sakura Moonlight Gel Pens at age 66 ànd they are something that really makes me smile😊 Love your Doodle ideas 💜
Really lovely Lou :)
Beautiful Lou x
Love your art journal page. The lines you pencilled in look fab with the stamp!! Thanks for sharing!! Cxxx PS - your handwriting needs to be made into stamps!!!
Lovely page ❤
fabulous thank u Lou 😀 Maxine Elizabeth
Gorgeous page
That is a different card, so unusual I really like it with the film strip too Thank you Lou You've inspired me
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment 😘
Stunning! Elegant and delicate!❤
Thank you 😊
Love these! I've just discovered your videos, and have subscribed. These are the first gelli plate cards I've truly loved!
@leanneusher1001 thank you ever so much for your wonderful comment. I'm trying to do a bit of printing for printing enjoyment but also to turn the backgrounds into something too.
Dies? Surely it’s dyes…
Thank you lou.....I will keep this so I can watch lots xx
Thank you for your lovely comment and visiting today 🥰
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! What an awesome idea! Did you put the stencil with theleaves, back where you added the ink? Or in a different position? I have a vision impairment. I couldn’t see that very well. 😜 I cannot find your blog. Url.
Thank you so much for your comment. The ink colours I used with the leaves stencil, were the same colours I could see through the stencil. I hope that makes sense? My blog URL can be found via this link - bit.ly/3X8Llqw
Thank you Lou 😊
Thank you for popping by today 🥰
Thoroughly enjoyed this and got lots of new ideas, thankyou
That looks such a relaxing card to do What a beautiful Celtic pattern, the white looks perfect on the black So pretty
That's so pretty ❤
I love the colour choices Lou and the end results. I think the first is my favourite but I love them all. Thanks lovely x
Thanks so much 😊 It was actually a fab way to make backgrounds as gave me the chance to use different colours from the normal.jnes I would choose. Thanks for popping over today x
I often have projects which do not work! Sometimes I just throw them in the bin or like you I try to make it better. I have tried using grey ink for background stamping to fade colours which are too bright .Also i have die cut shapes or foliage and added those to blend into the background and blended with inks. What is in my head does not seem to get on to the page very often. Sometimes taking a photo gives a different view
Thank you for all the ideas. Like the photo suggestion and will give that a go.
So much info ! Awesome !
Glad it was helpful 😌 x
Inspirational as ever 👌
Thank you ever so much Denise 🥰 Your continued support is a blessing 🙌
I do like these. Using the same colours for all the layers works so well. Thank you Lou
Glad you enjoyed the video. It was fun picking colours that went with each letter and how had to stretch "y" to cover anything other than just yellow 🤣
Inspirational !
Thank you 😊
Back again! Went over to your blog and wow the additional layers/stamping looks amazing on all 3 ❤❤❤
It amazing how something you may not like suddenly can change. Thank you for popping over to my blog x
Love these. Last one is gorgeous 💕💕💕💕
Thanks so much 😊
That's such a clever design with star frame Using it in different ways Thank you
Thank you ever so much. I do love making my stamps work hard for me 🤣
Love all of those backgrounds 😊
Thank you and it was actually fun to not do a finished project x
Very inspirational, opening up more ways with backgrounds and Stencils..thank you Lou..look forward to more🙂🧚♀️🐾🐾
You are so welcome and thank you for your wonderful comment x
Love these!! And my favourite is the middle one - just like the combination on my post. 😂😂
Mine too! Blues & greens are my favourite colours and "go to" x
Just love your ink blending. You make it look so easy ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊 I don't spend hours blending as haven't the patience lol
Your backgrounds are lovely. My favourite is the last one xx
I wasn't so sure with the last one but when I added the stamping, I actually fell quite a bit in love with it.
Fun colour combos! I love how none of us could find anything for Y except Yellow 😂
I know ... thought I was pushing it going "yellow-green" lol
Love it so much, they all turned beautiful ❤
Thank you so much! It was fab not making a finished card/design this time too x
Gorgeous blending, Helen x
Thank you ever so much. Using the letters was a fab way of digging out colours that I may normally neglect to use.
Great idea for picking colours
I thought it might be tricky at first but actually loved looking through my inks and thinking about what would work.
Love this video, love your explanations. An absolute joy. Thank you.
Thank you. What a wonderful comment to be greeted by 🥰😘
Love ❤️ this Lou how the white makes the flower pop I think the page finished looks lovely don't be so hard on yourself Linxxxx
Thanks so much 😊 I know what you mean but sometimes when head and hands don't talk to each other, it is hard (lol)
That looks good now, the white pen around the petals really worked
Yes it does as helps dull down where I was over handed with the pearlescent paint. Still not 100% happy but walking away now lol. Many thanks for popping over today.
Thanks for another great video, I love the end result
Thank you ever so much and for popping over today x
Whatever you do looks stunning, your very inspirational, sharing your art👍🏻🧚♀️🐾🐾
Wow, thank you!
Thank you very, much for this idea. 🤩
You’re welcome 😊
I just bought one of these dies and what I can't figure out is the binding/spine.
The spine can be made in different ways, but the main idea for this die set was to thread ribbon/twine through the holes - 2 long thin dies. In this video, I made a traditional spine without using the dies.
Hi Lou ..... Loved watching your video you make it look so easy! I am going to play 😂😂😂x
Love this page Lou thanks for the inspiration. I have watercolor crayons so going to try the background with those x
Stunning Lou ❤
Beautiful ❤️ ❤️ Love them Louxxx
Gorgeous, I love it!
Thank you so much for your comment and watching the reel x
They’re both lovely cards
Thank you Noreen. I wanted to twist the theme a little (lol) x
