Let the fun begin a bit early for this month’s Colorful Gelli Print Party!  I am making texture plates on leftover cardboard for my playtime on the Gelli Plate this month.

The magic texture maker is Tulip Dimensional Paint.

Those butterflies are so consistent thanks to a great Judikins stamp.  As the color built up on the butterflies all I could think about was cutting them apart and using them in something.  No problem that I love them since I can easily make more.

Here’s a close up of the ghost print on the envelope. I can mail it, I can use it in an art journal, I could make an envelope book out of it…so many possibilities!

I like color.  I know you are shocked since it is such a well kept secret that I like color….Well today I am playing in the stencil hop with Pam Carriker’s Primary, Secondary, Tertiary color wheel stencil for StencilGirl Products.

I started with a tag by gluing on some old writing and then randomly rubber stamping.

I added color with acrylic paint and Pam’s stencil, Primary, Secondary, Tertiary color wheel.  I am so glad this hop fell on a Friday so I could share this with my friends at Paint Party Friday!

Since I love the entire rainbow there had to be more color on this tag. In came the green and yellow acrylic paint.

I had some butterflies left over from another project (yesterday’s in fact) and what is on my counter is often exactly what I need.  A parade of colorful butterflies just made me happy!

This cried out for text but I “had nothing to say” so an old book to the rescue.  I searched around in the book for phrases that felt interesting. The 2 phrases, “tell me your wish” and “I could use my secret powers” worked so well together.  But I needed 2 words – of color.  Guess what- it is pretty tedious to actually look in a book for an exact word.  So I built color instead of looking for it forever…
