Hello, Crafty Folks!
This week at Shopping Our Stash our Theme is:
Winter Blues
We want you to use Blue but DO NOT create a winter card!
Hey, don't blame me, this was not my idea!
But I do love this theme!
~~~~~~~~~~
Yes, I am playing with my homemade gelli Printing Plate again! I am simply addicted and there is little need to try and pretend that I am not. Especially since week after week you poor people will be subjected to my amateur attempts to perfect, or at least to greatly improve, my skills in this new artistic discipline.

Me, Myself, and I had a rather heated debate over the decision to distress or to not distress the edges. In the end, "I" won out and left the edges of the border white. In real life, the visual impact is awesome! I took these pictures with my tablet and they are not the best. Sorry!
I like the continuity I get using swatches of my gelli prints to embellish the card interior.

I love the wee umbrella silhouettes
this is gorgeous, the blues and the added yellow, You are really rocking the gelli plate. (which tutorial did you use)
ReplyDeleteLove your little scene here Chana. Just wish I needed that umbrella. Love a bit of mixed media and the amazing results you get with a gelli plate. Have never made one but fascinating to watch how they come together. Yours is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOooh, been waiting to get a closer look at this mixed-media piece... awesome. I hear that gelli-printing is addictive! Sh*t... I want to try it, but I have no self-control... and I have a family I need to care for, LOL! So I will live through your awesome projects until I break... LOL! Keep it up!
