Boy am I having fun playing with my new Gelli-plate. Playing with this new crafty gizmo has made such a difference to my crafting now. I can't stop creating new papers ready to use for my crafting. Take a look at some of the designs so far.... I can't wait to add the designs to canvasses, cards, scrapbook pages and more.
I thoroughly recommend that you get one if you are a serious crafter or artist. Background papers to die for are achievable with just a few layers of paint and stamps.
You can even use kids stamps which, because they are thick foam and quite deep, they make wonderful impressions on your gelli-plate. Every time you create something there is a surprise in store. Look how these Butterflies turned out on this piece.. I just pressed a cardboard Butterfly into the paint and now they look like they are embossed.
Oh these are fabulous hun, love them

ReplyDeleteHi ladies. Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteDianne - I made the first image by spreading a thin layer of white paint over the Gelli-plate then with an old shaving brush (not mine I might add) stippled on the trees with more paint. The branches and grasses were just marked with the end of a paintbrush. I then printed off the picture onto black cardstock twice and I think the picture above was the second print. Hope that helps.
