Octopode Factory, Clowns

Morning all, Sorry for the post heavy week, lots has been going on recently.
I'd like to start by welcoming my newest followers, thanks for joining me x
 Today I am sharing a couple of Lily's new images from The Octopode Factory. She has just released 4 clowns.
I have used two of the images for these Tando-Creative mixed media boards .
 This is the last of my recent Gelli Plate prints, I have had so much fun using it I will be getting it out again soon I am sure.
 The back grounds have been created with various Crafters Workshop stencils and Decoart acrylic paints. The prints have been cut to size and glued to the boards, The Octopode images have been coloured with Copics, fussy cut and glued to the prints. the Alphabet stamp set is from De Stempelwinkel and is the October Crow font. (from the movie)
Both boards have been coated with Decoarts Triple thick glaze.
 Thank you so much for stopping by. I love having you here.


I would like to enter these guys into the challenge over at the new challenge blog Open-Minded Crafting, they are having a use a new toy or technique. The new clown images are my new toy and the Gelli plate is still fairly new to me.
