Hi Friends
Tried out my 6" round gel plate for the first time the other day, and got my 8" x 10" plate out while I was at it! Want to see what I got up to? This post is a bit photo heavy, so you might want to grab a cuppa!
Here are the cards first:

| 2 x greetings cards and an ATC |
Materials:
- A few gel prints made with acrylic paints, leaves and a brayer.
- Bird silhouette die by The Works.
- Leafy circle die "Circle of Leaves" by Simon Says Stamp (recently given to me by a very kind friend).
- Leafy sprig on the ATC - part of a leaf die by Pink & Main called "Leafy Dies 1" (recently given to me by the same very kind friend - don't you just love happy mail?!)
Here are two masculine cards made with the blue circle gelli print:

| Apologies for the ATC turning up again in this photo! |
Here are the gel prints I made beforehand.
- Today's cards come from the 6" blue circle and the 8"x10" orange/pink print. I'll show you the cards made with the top golden circle in another post.
The orange/pink leafy die on the ATC comes from middle print shown below:
Here's an envelope I made with the bottom gel print shown in the above picture. It's so pretty IRL:





Wow - it is so interesting to see what you've done with some of your gel prints, so imaginative. You'e so right about getting carried away producing loads of backgrounds and then wondering what to do with them. Really looking forward to seeing what else you make. Definitely a craft room day today - very dark, dreary and WET here'🙄🙄
ReplyDeleteWow Sarn these are really pretty, funky and so imaginative. I do keep wondering whether to invest in some acrylic paints but what with all my other “wants” I don’t go there .. but the results are spectacular!

Indeed it is easy to get carried away Sarn, when there's still ink on a plate you have to keep going, then add a bit more colour and one thing leads to another. Lovely to see all your prints and card and lovely intense colours.

Loving your glorious makes today, you may even inspire me to get my own gelli plate out some time soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you

Ooh wow Sarn you really are creative in all your crafts l really need to learn about gelli plates l see absolutely stunning results and what you have created here are totally astounding just love them x
ReplyDeleteThese are so arty and would not look out of place in a gallery.
ReplyDeleteThose gelli prints really give you a creative edge with card and envelope making! Everything looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Un sacco di ispirazioni e di meravigliose creazioni oggi, Sarn! Assolutamente deliziosa la busta!! Adoro la card con la silhouette dell'uccellino e la card col cerchio blu e le foglie nella cornice arancione! Splendido uso della fustella con le foglie per l'ATC e due belle card maschili con i pezzi di cerchio blu! Quel quadratino nell'ATC mi ricorda un Q-code! Perfetto per bilanciare la composizione!
ReplyDeleteDevo procurarmi un gel plate rotondo! E anche un po' di tempo libero per giocare a stampare molte pile di fogli :D LOL
Sono curiosa di vedere cosa hai fatto con il cerchio dorato e i pezzi avanzati! :)
Abbracci!
Awesome makes, it is easiest to keep going when making backgrounds and then when you need one its fun to pick!
ReplyDeleteWow you have been busy with your fantastic prints, just love all your creative ideas! Xxx
ReplyDeleteLate to the party - sorry! Absolutely LOVE your gelli prints and the cards you made using some of them. What an eye for design you have - marvellous results Sarn! I love that you also made a couple of masculine cards.

Yep, definitely hands up to producing 12 backgrounds at once. I LOVE the envelope, that might be a way to use up some of my 'art'.
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous Sarn and it's interesting to see the variety of projects you've made with them. It must be great to be able to rifle through some you've saved when you need a print for a new project. Sending hugs, Vicky xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous work Sarn, with a lovely colour mix and great designs coming from your gel prints.
