Hello Artzy Friends!
I am so excited about this blog post today!!
I have honestly never used Gelli Arts! It's been on my to do list for awhile now! But just haven't done it, so I am so thankful for this team-up!! And the push to finally try it out!
LOVE it!!
I had so much fun creating my card for today's post!!
Here is a close-up:
So fun!!
Here is a look at my process:
I used the
5x7" Gelli Printing Plate! I started by adding some acrylic Teal colored paint and then pressed the
Wacky Boxes Stencil gently onto the plate to remove some of the paint. I then grabbed my card base and placed the 'good side' down onto the plate and rubbed the back side gently.
Fun!!
Next I grabbed some purple paint!!
This time I decided to remove some of the paint by stamps. I grabbed the fun
Totally Tracy Textures stamp set! I love the circle design!
Again I placed my card base on the plate and rubbed gently...
LOVE IT!! I could have just stopped here....but I was having too much fun and decided to add one more layer.
This time I added some yellow!! Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo here! I was too into the project!! LOL! But you can see it in the photo below...
So with the the Spring/Floral theme in mind, which I LOVE flowers, I decided to add one last layer. But this time I didn't use the Gelli Plate. I just used the fun
Wild Flower Stencil to add some metallic white texture paste to the card base!!
I set the card base to the side to dry!
Back to the theme, I wanted to add a large flower to my card front! So I grabbed the
Totally Tracy Be Bold stamp set! Instead of coloring the image in, I wanted to use a Gelli Arts plate to create a fun designed flower to go with my card background.
So I grabbed the 3" round mini plate from the
Mini Kit! I added a magenta paint to the plate and use the fun punchinella stencil, which is also included in the
Mini Kit to rome some of the paint!!
I added then add some light pink metallic texture paste to the plate and used the 3 sided texture tool, also from the
Mini Kit, to remove some of the paste. (You can't see this design completely, unless looking really close, but I wanted to do this step to just mute the magenta paint a little) And to also add some shimmer to the flower!!
I then stamped the flower image on this pattern and fussy cut around the image!! Before adding it to my card base, I first stamped the 'be BOLD' sentiment from the Totally Tracy
Totally Tracy Be Bold stamp set!
I then added the flower to my card base!
Here is my finished card:
So pretty!!
The possibilities are absolutely endless!
I can't wait to use my gelli plates again!!
