September is shaping up to be a month full of fun! So many of my projects are coming together this month and there are milestones to celebrate! Stay tuned- there is lots coming this month! First up- it’s a bonus month for the Colorful Gelli Party! Not 1 video but 2! I had so much fun playing I just couldn’t help myself!
I know I am sounding like a broken record but I was blown away by all the great prints that linked up last month! I have been so sparked by what people are sharing! Thank you so much for playing along and being a part of the party!
On to the videos!
The first video shows how I used one stencil over and over again to build up the colors in this print. I lined up the stencil imperfectly to create the layers. Don’t worry, there isn’t any measuring!
The stencil I am playing with is called Stitch a Circle by Maria McGuire for StencilGirl Products. You might recognize Maria from our Artsy Fartsy adventures!
You can watch the video on YouTube at A Colorful Gelli Print Party for September.
The 2nd video shows how I used one of the prints to make the art journal page above. I even colored the background of the page with the Gelli Plate! I was so eager to play, I actually forgot to get a photo of the paper before I started cutting!
Keep your eyes open for the Oops- once again I am grateful for my Oops!
And I just had to use my tape from newest workshop in the video- it matched too perfectly for me to keep it a secret any longer! So now you know my next workshop will be all about tape! Thanks to some fast work by the great people at iCreateFlix- my workshop button is up in time for this month’s part- so it doesn’t have to be a secret! You can check it out here! It’s on sale for $30 until Sept. 15th (when the workshop starts)!

In case you’re wondering, the pens I used were Posca Metallic
– just what I needed for my journaling! The Dylusions journal goes flat so nicely for use with the Gelli Plate too!
