#100daysofgelliprintcreations 6/100

 

This little 4x4 collage was so fun to create! I heat embossed the background using clear embossing powder and Red Rubber Designs' Background Stripes stamp. I love the subtle texture this creates! 

 

 

I layered and adhered some torn gelli printed deli papers, masked & stamped "Blessed" from a sentiment in the Here I am Stamp set also from Red Rubber Designs.

 

 

I stapled that to the kraft label die cut and layered it on a piece of that yellow gelli printed paper I still had out on my desk from yesterday's card. I like the the extra pop of color it adds.

I love Dylusions' Fresh Lime paint, this bright green screams Spring doesn't it? One of the things I love most about the Gelli Plate is that it allows you to create one of a kind mono prints and also create custom patterned papers that you can easily recreate again and again like this butterfly design. I used the Butterfly Overlay cut file from the Silhouette Design Store to create a stencil for this design. 

 

 

I applied the Lime green paint to my gelli plate first to create the background base color for my patterned paper. I laid the butterfly stencil on the Gelli Plate and brayered white paint over the stencil. I then removed the stencil and used the Lime Green print to pull the butterfly design. 

 

 

When I buy patterned paper I tend to purchase multiple sheets of each pattern, I hate the idea of running out of a design that I love. The use of stencils, a few paint colors, and my Gelli Plate makes creating custom patterned paper designs that I can create over and over again so easy! I never have to worry about not being able to find "one more sheet" for a project that I'm working on. 

 

 

I hope this inspires you to create your own custom patterned paper designs using a Gelli Plate. The Gelli Plate comes in a variety of sizes including 12x14 for your 12x12 scrapbook layouts!

#100daysofgelliprintcreations 3/100

Day 3/100 project features a birthday card!

One of things that I learned while participating in the March Gelli Print Challenge is that I love the look of multi-colored gelli prints, but I REALLY LOVE monochromatic color schemes too. I think the prints with a single color scheme will be easier for me to incorporate in my art. I haven't yet mastered the technique of getting beautiful multi-colored prints where each color stands out but I'm going to keep trying!

Day 2/100 features another 6x6 collage.

Gelli printed phone book pages is my JAM! I usually recycle my phone books but I think I'm going to keep one or two on hand just for gelli printing. The pages are thin, but they can handle the weight of the paint and are perfect for using in collage pieces.  I'll try to list the products I've used going forward, but you'll have to forgive me for not sharing the paint colors that I used. It's all a blur, but for the most part I mostly used Liquitex Basics, Liquitex Heavy Body, Golden Heavy Body, Dylusions, and Folk Art acrylic paints for all of my prints. 

I used my new favorite stencil to gelli print the background layer on the phone book page for this piece and then adhered a piece of deli paper that I stamped using one of my favorite script stamps from Red Rubber Designs. I adhered the gelli printed hearts on top and layered the piece with a white mat for framing. 

Supplies:

Scribble Lines Stencil

Script Background Stamp

 

#100daysofgelliprintcreations 1/100

Last month's Gelli Printing challenge really stirred up my mojo! I decided to take part in another challenge

The 100 Day Project

I decided to spend 100 days creating art using my stack of gelli prints. If I'm completely honest, this challenge will probably take me more than 100 days, but I'm committed to creating 100 pieces of art. The most important thing for me is to enjoy the process of creating without the stress.

Most of my creations will be cards, collage pieces, and art journal layouts, but I may try a few other project ideas as well. 

Here's what I created for day 1/100.

I wanted to try my hand at creating some collage pieces in a variety of sizes. This one measures 6x6 inches. I adhered gelli printed text & deli papers to a white cardstock base. I Added a few flicks of black acrylic paint, adhered a butterfly die cut, some Tim Holtz stickers, and stamped a few stitched lines.

It's been too long...

I'm not sure even where to begin, except to say I'm still here. These last few years have been challenging with my health so I haven't created much. 

This past month I participated in a Gelli Printing challenge hosted by Birgit Koopsen over on Instagram. I'm finding that I like the quick & easy format of Instagram an awful lot, so you can always check to see what I'm up to over on My Instagram page. 

 

Birgit's month long challenge had some fun and creative daily prompts. I didn't get to participate each day but here are a few photos of some of the prints I created.
