Hi Everyone
Welcome to my weekly post of creativity.
Today I am back to sharing a couple of cards. They are what I would call 'general ' cards as they could be used as Thank you cards, Notelets or Birthday cards.
For the backgrounds I created a gelli print master board using a gelli plate, a brayer, some PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints, a PaperArtsy stencil and some bubble wrap- no its not just for popping ... but I did after it served it purpose. I couldn't resist!
All products used are listed and linked to the shop at the foot of this post.
For the first pull I used the bubble wrap to create a printed pattern. For the second I used part of a PaperArtsy stencil. From an afternoon of gelli printing this was one of the prints that made the 'project worthy' pile. I did get some that made the 'bin worthy' pile and some that found their place on the 'need work/ to be continued' pile but I guess that's all part of the course and the creative fun!
After cutting two pieces from the masterboard to the size I required I then stencilled the focal image using Black Modelling paste through PaperArtsy Mini stencil. Modelling paste does give a very dull matte finish but being a grungy girl at heart I don't mind that. You could use other mediums with the stencil if you prefer.
When the paste was dry I used a white pen to do a bit of mark making and add some highlights to the stencilled silhouette.
To finish off I added a 13Arts 'Tiny Text' sticker
and then mat n layer the stencilled gelli print onto a white and black card mount before adhering to a hand made card.

Beautiful, black leaves look fabulous against the gelli print background, no mojo issues to me.

ReplyDeleteWow - that bubble wrap print is really fabulous... what detailed results, every wrinkle and crinkle. Love how the white circles give the whole thing so much movement. Lovely greys and blues too.
