It was a conspiracy. I’m not making this up. I am not crazy. It was a total conspiracy from my muse to get me playing. She wanted me away from the computer screen with a jumbo to-do list and into the paints!
When I saw the challenge over at Art Journal Journey, I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. Deep in the Forest…that resonated with me in so many ways. Then I spied Mary Beth Shaw’s newest stencil, Fairy Tale Tree Mask. At that point it was a done deal for me. I had to go and play in my art journal. My muse had won!
Check out the video where I share the meaning that came out of this art journal page and of course, the Oops….
A huge thanks to everyone joining in the conversation about spray inks! I had a blast and hope you did too! Stay tuned for more Play Dates in the coming months. I’ve got lots of ideas thanks to your suggestions!

Monday’s winner of $25 gift certificate to Lindy’s Stamp Gang is Cheryl (ScrappyCat)!
Did you know you can put stickers on a Gelli Plate? For this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party it’s all about stickers, shimmering paints, and circles!
I don’t waste a drop of paint- especially this incredible paint (can you tell I am in love?). In the video, you’ll see how I add some layers to an art journal page as I’m playing too.
Here are the Pebeo colors I used, available on Amazon, but they are cheaper here. I used colors 353, 356, 357, and 359 in the video. A big thanks to Maria McGuire who introduced me to these amazing tubes of vibrant iridescent goodness!
Grabbing random bits of the pattern creates a great place to start doodling. Can you guess what I did with these…well, no need to guess because I’ve shared them over in the Colorful Playground community on Google+. Check out my Gelli print play as well as the prints shared by other creatives!
Love the contrast of the shimmering paints against the matte of the cardstock.
If you’re new to the Gelli Plate and want to confidently make Gelli Prints check out my latest workshop, One Pull Wonders!
