I’m Gelli® printing on both deli paper and mixed media paper.  Finding the deli paper that makes you happiest is a personal preference.  I have tried many and these are the 2 that I am happiest with…This one because it is super thin but it is a bit smaller in size.  This one because is a little heavier than the other amd is a larger size.    In the video, I use the 2nd because it was larger but any deli paper will work with this technique.

While cleaning out my studio, I found quite a few treasures that I have been saving. Please tell me I am not the only person who has accumulated too much stuff!  Well…I need to stop saving and use more of them and I will thanks to Ken Oliver.  He shared the perfect idea – to use chipboard shapes with Colorburts!  I love these windows from Maya Road, but I haven’t used them…until today!

What will I do with these? They are definitely calling to me as buildings but I never know where it will end up.  Of course, I’ll share whatever they become.

Collage Paint Draw by Sue PelletierSue Pelletier has created a fabulous book full of inspiring eye candy in a rainbow of happy colors!  Now, I might be biased…but not because she used one of my stencils (which is loaded with texture and text joy on p. 17) but because she is an encourager of creativity with a laugh out loud sense of fun!

It didn’t take me long to figure you what I wanted to play with first from her book…I had to get loose with a pipette and India ink!

I started with a background of spray ink smears that I found in one of my journals.  It is might yucky all on its own…but it won’t be for long!
