Then we made a faux wood effect background, which again once the texture paste was dry was coloured with promarkers.
Next came two canvas's one 5x7 and the other 8x10. This time we used bleeding tissue, texture stamps with distress inks, stencils and Black Archival ink pads with a few touches of white Acrylic paint.
Then on the Sunday we played with Gelli plates and acrylic paints to make pages for making a Mojo book. Once we had filled our papers both sides with the painted backgrounds they were cut down into smaller pages and then put together with a bind it machine.
I came home very pleased with my makes and some very dirty stencils and brayer. I'm glad to say that they have cleaned up very well with a little help from some Murphy's Oil Soap.
Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

It sounds as though you had a really fabulous weekend and the cards you made are stunning. Thanks for sharing all the techniques you used and also the tip about Murphy's Oil Soap - hadn't heard of it before, so just looked it up and now I need some too! Thanks Anne x
Hi Sue, What a fun weekend, so many lovely creations love the idea of using tissue paper that bleeds, it looks like you had cut circles of it to layer on. Now you can't complain when your Mojo goes missing, it will be hiding in it's book! Have a wonderful week... Megan
Gorgeous projects. Love them all.

These are all gorgeous, sue. What I like is that you learned new techniques while you made such lovely, finished cards!
