A Gelli Print ghost using Maria McGuire's stencil with Carolyn Dube

I keep hearing and reading about ghosts and when someone says ghost I don’t get scared, I get happy. Why? Because I think of ghost prints from my Gelli Plate! I adore how Maria McGuire’s stencil looks as a ghost!

Join me for a Colorful Gelli Print Party!

Speaking of Gelli prints, Septembers Colorful Gelli Print Party is loaded with amazing prints and inspiration. Below are just a few of the ideas that have linked up. Just click on the artist’s name and you will go right to their blog to check out their full post.

Not joined the party yet? Never fear! It is open all month long!

But before we get to the Gelli goodnesss, I have the winner of 6 rolls of washi tape from Artsyville!

Hitting that Wall with Gelli Prints

on

Video using gelli prints to make a brick wall

Outside of the studio, it had been one of those days filled with obstacles. Ever had one of those? I had hit the wall. So I went into the studio to escape. My mood followed me. I was hitting the wall in there too. So I decided if I was going to hit the wall it was at least going to have some color on it! Another great reason to have a stash of Gelli prints…

You can watch Gelli print brick wall in an art journal on YouTube here.

Still time to enter 2 giveaways I have going on right now!

The giveaway for 6 rolls of Artsyville’s washi tape ends on Tuesday
The Seth Apter stencil giveaway is here

Linking up with Mandarin Orange Monday, Inspire Me Monday, Inspire, Make It Monday, Art Journal Every Day, and Creative Every Day.
