Playing with Gelli

Good Morning everyone

For Christmas i was given a Gelli plate which hadn't really been on my to try list but ive been having a little play with it and acrylic paints - still alot of practising to do but ive made a few prints that ive used on these cards, after making the cards i thought i should have taken a photo of the prints first so ive taken photos of the rest of them - see end of post.

5x7" card.  I made this one for my sis in law who's had to have an operation.  This print was neon acrylics in pink and orange, a die cut leaf, punchinella and a stamp. I stamped over the top with this lovely woodware stamp in black, die cut to size with a stitched rectangle die & then die cut a stitched rectangle from the middle at an angle, mounted onto black card, adding the middle panel with foam tape - just to add more interest to the design.

For the background i used a swirl embossing folder, the little coloured strips were off cuts and not wanting to waste them i added them behind my topper panel.  Stamped sentiment to finish.. 

Version 2 - this print was green pearl paint with a touch of yellow paint and a clarity stamp stencil for just a basic print.  The flower heads i stamped onto a scrap of orange paper and paper pieced. 

Version 3 i used one stencil and turned it 3 times with a different colour - pink, orange, yellow neon and green pearl acrylic paints

Version 4 another woodware stamp, print used neon orange, yellow and pink paint. 5x7 white card, i stamped the greeting direct onto the base, matted the topper onto black card and then the base card. 

Items Used:

Woodware stamps  wild meadow, lino cut teasels

Sentiment stamps

Double stitched rectangle dies

A4 Swirl embossing folder

Id love to enter the first card into the following:

and onto some of my other prints - some im happy with, others will be a base to work on or cut into, im beginning to get a feel for it and not to add too much paint and Ive found the quality of paint makes a big difference.  Lots more practice to be had......
