Another Mandarin Orange Monday...

Not at all sure what these will grow into but the last few days I have been adding blotches of orange, gray, white or black to these and just playing with the colors. For all I know they may get mostly all covered up eventually but for now, they are blotches of orange which pleases me.

And here are some cut up gelli printed labels my friend Leslie and I did on Sunday with my new Silhouette Cameo machine. I need to stop playing long enough to write more of a post about that thing, but it is so much fun I just can't stop using it to blog about it!

This is a gelli printed label page (using some of the new stencils I have been making):

And another art journal background page, this time for my new larger 9"x12" journal:

Here are 4 of the bunch of stamps we cut, actual size around 2" x 1.5", made from a stencil of postage stamp designs I made with my new Silhouette Cameo. Cut out of gelli printed label paper:
