Hi everyone,
I tried out a new technique using alcohol inks last weekend on a gelli plate that was shared by The Group of Seven Cardmakers. I followed their instructions and made this card.
This is a 5 x 7 card, using a 3" circle gelli plate. I blended three colors of Alchohol Ink on my gelli plate, die-cut the leaf branch, and heat-embossed the sentiment.
I have another card that turned into a little wintery one.
I used one of my favorite stencils, Bubbles, on the gelli print background. By using white pigment ink to stenicil and then clear heat-embossing the pattern, I was able to create opaque bubbles on the gelli print and white ones outside of the circle. I also lightly ink-blended the background to highlight the white pattern. Doesn't it look like falling snow or rain streaming down the window?
It was a fun experiment and I'm looking forward to trying out the other shapes (square and triangle) of mini gelli plates in the set.
Thanks for visiting me today! 😊
