It's Gelli Time!
Yes, get those gel plates out and have a play. Printing and mark making are unique and somewhat addictive when you start so let us see what you create and how you use it in your project. Just remember to create your project in one of our preferred styles: vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journaling, industrial, timeworn or steampunk.
I love using my Gelli Plate and it's a bit of a go to - when my mojo is lacking! I love to experiment with textures and layers and just seeing what happens. No two prints are ever the same and that is its magic!
I therefore have alot of prints lying around and decided to see what would happen if I punched some circles and created a montage.
I punched 2.5, 2, 1.5 and 1inch circles of 5 prints and arranged them on my page - this was a challenge! Once happy I stuck them down and then adding a little extra stamping, doodling and stencilling - including a little on the black background.
I am sure the girls at AVJ have some great ideas - so do hop over for some inspiration. We would love it if you joined in the challenge.
Stay safe everyone.

What a riot of wonderful colours, patterns and textures Nikki! and they look stunning set against the black. Jennie x
ReplyDeleteOh wow - what a brilliant way to use all those prints which result whenever the Gelli plate is out to play! The colours and patterning of each bubble is even more exciting when it's set beside contrasting colours and patterning - and I love the added doodles to give each one a clearly defined edge. The flower silhouettes look fabulous over the top.
