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!

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…

Need a helping hand? How about a round of applause because these hands are handy! Okay, I promise, no more puns…I’m hopping with Jessica Sporn’s new Hands stencil from StencilGirl Products.
I had this tag on my counter that has taken all sorts of paint and mess over the last couple of weeks. Any time I have extra paint on a brush I don’t want to waste it so I pop it on something- anything I can find.
Jessica’s Hands stencil was perfect for my tag. She has a whole bunch of hands on this stencil which made it easy to find the one that fit just right.
Needed some inspiration for what the hand was reaching for and along came a butterfly right out side my window.
So, an ancient paper punch on some painted paper to capture what I dream about with butterflies…having them visit me like I was Snow White whistling to the creatures of the forest.
Since I avoid the outdoors due to biting critters, stinging critters, and pollen it is rare that a butterfly lands on me…
Added a bit of baker’s twine (yea to me for using some of my stash and not hoarding!), a touch of white paint and the word dream from a Sizzix die.
I love that I used so many supplies that last forever- like punches, dies, and stencils. That means I will never run out so I don’t want to hoard them!
There’s lots of creative goodness on this hop so be sure to stop by and check it all out! Jessica’s giving away one of her stencils too! Leave a comment here to be entered and you can do the same on every blog below! That means 8 chances to win!
