Dragonfly page by Titbelsoeur

Hello everybody,
I hope you are all safe at home. What about doing an art journal during this social distanciation to stay together even if alone ? This is the title I have chosen for my new "confinart journal". I have made videos while doing it and have posted them on my Youtube channel.

I have made one of theses pages doing prints on my gel plate with the dragonfly from the Butterflies 2 plate :

The video tutorial using this Artistic Stamper dragonfly on to gel plate is here :

Hope it gives you inspiration to participate in our

Gelli on a Plate

I don't know about you guys, but I have a mountain of gelli prints as high as Mount Kilimanjaro!!!, some I find too beautiful to even consider using, and especially cutting up, so I put them in a drawer and just get them out occasionally to stroke.... but the majority are just waiting for the right opportunity to use....but I didn't even use any of my stash for this months "Square it" challenge, I decided to make more gelli prints using a selection of The Artistic Stamper Masks and Stencils cut them into squares, added a sentiment from Paperartsy on one, and adhered them to my card, easy peasy, and a great way to use up your mountain of gelli prints..(if your'e not like me and decided to make even more!!!).

The stencils that I have used are;

HARLEQUIN

DOG ROSE

SMALL DOTS

LARGE SEQUIN WASTE

CHEVRON

I'm looking forward to your interpretation of our "Square It" challenge

Wedding card by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone,
Once again, I have used the same technique as I used to make Artifacts cards by Titbelsoeur : first stamp in blue the Wedding Vows Text and the Dog Rose © Lesley Matthewson as focal points, hide both the text and flowers and stamp the background using your gelli plate as a pad :

I hope this card will help you find inspiration to participate in our monthly challenge !

Stencilled Gelli Flower by Jane

Eeeeeekkk!!!...I was sooo happy when I found out that this months challenge is all about stencils!!!..I mean, who doesn't love using stencils, they are so versatile, I have trillions...(well..a bit of an exaggeration)..of them, so I combined my Artistic Stamper stencils and masks with my other love...the gelli plate!!!, boy oh boy, you can spend a whole day just throwing things on that fabulous lump of gelatine and always be surprised with the outcome.

As usual, I forgot to take photos of the process of this card, but it started off as a gelli print similar to this one...using the A4 SWIRL MASK

I then brayered several colours of blue paint on the gelli plate, added the DOG ROSE STENCIL, and blotted the paint off from the cutouts so that it left the negative impression when I put the swirl gelli print back on the plate. I then went round the flower shapes with a charcoal pencil to accentuate it, then matted and layered onto a card base, waiting for the appropriate sentiment to add at a later date. 

I am so eager to see your creations using stencils, so I hope you will join in this months challenge.

Pocket Christmas Planner by Gemma

I like to be organized at Christmas and admit that I have many lists on the laptop. Unfortunately, that doesn't help me when I am out and about so I made this little folder that I can easily put in my bag.

   

The inside was constructed using a couple of envelopes and a card blank. I glued the flaps of two envelopes to the sides of a card blank and then cut a third envelope in half to make pockets on the inside. Then I folded in half a sheet of Kraft card and trimmed it down to make a cover.

To decorate I pulled a few prints from my Gelli plate using different background stamps. Which I cut down and glued in place leaving myself lots of places to slide in my gift lists and to do lists.

To decorate the cover I cut a tree shape from one of the Gelli prints and ripped a piece of white pearl paper for my snowy hills. Before glueing them to the cover I painted the whole thing blue and stamped over the top with blue distress ink.

Thank you for reading

Mushrooms by Titbelsoeur

Hello everyone,

I am so happy that Jennie did make stamps with my drawings, that I had to make a nice project with my mushrooms !

I gathered some of them into... guess what ? a sardine can, what else ?

I first colored the bottom of the can with alcohol inks, and then stamped the mushrooms on a gelli-printed paper. Then I cut these out and highlighted the outlines with a white pen.

Then, I glued all around moss from my backyard, a twig and a champagne cork... and here is my finished project :

I hope you all like my mushrooms !

Enjoy your Summer by Titbelsoeur

Hello everybody,
Here are 2 cards for Summer greetings,
To make the backgrounds, I have used acrylic paint on to my gelli plate, then stamped the beach umbrella (from Seaside No. 1 # 018 A5 in Sea and Sand) to make a ghost print. And when dry, I have stamped the umbrella again with Prussian Blue acrylic paint to have this uneven look :

Columns by Titbelsoeur

Hi there ! this is Titbelsoeur here !

Bright card by Gemma

 Hello Everyone

A quick, bright, fun card from me today. using a gelli plate background, and Lesley's floral stamp plate.

I covered my gelli plate with pink acrylic paint and placed a piece of card over the top that I had already cut to 18 cm square. That was my first of three layers, the second layer was orange paint and the petal mask. Finally I added some circles from large dot mask with white paint and around the edges. 

Using black archival ink I stamped a few of both the large and the small open flowers, from Lesley's flower plate. I blocked the flowers in with gesso, so I could paint on top without the background colours showing through.

 I painted the flowers blue so it gave quite a contrast to the background, I used the same blue acrylic to paint them just adding white to some to change the tone. I added the word create from the words mask

Using a black paint pen, I went around my stamped images and the word create, I also added some stems and leave to the smaller flowers and a boarder of dashes around the edge.

Thank you for reading
