I used Gelli Plate and Simon's Exclusive Snowflakes and Falling Snow Stencils. 

I really had fun with the Gelli Printing and now have  a box full of fabulous, one of a kind, papers ! In fact I have mass produced this card and each one is different ! If you haven't tried Gelli Printing then you really should give it a go ,,, REALLY !! :-)



I bought Shari Carroll's Art Journal Kit and thought I would make a start on the inside ,,, It's really good fun ! for this I used Simon's Exclusive Snowflakes Stencil . As a beginner I didn't think this was too bad ,,, my First Art Journal page !! Woo Hoo :-)
