This week has flown by! Can’t believe this is the last day of the party! Thank you to every party goer for helping me kick off 2013! It is going to be an amazing year full of color and creativity! In all the excitement I had neglected my rubber stamps so I brought them to the party today to play with my Gelli Plate!
When I want the rubber stamp to pull up lots of paint then I stamp it off each time. This gives me 2 for the price of 1! I get the Gelli print and another layer on an art journal page.
I loved how this one looked so much I had to set it aside just as it was. The Gelli Plate is also a great way to create a “paint pad” (instead of an ink pad) to stamp with and there is no waste since the “paint pad” gets cleaned off by making a Gelli print!
This is now a great base layer for a journal page. Much of it will be covered up but the lines and layers peeking through will add rich layers to whatever this journal page becomes.
The index cards I printed on – changing the size of the paper changes the feeling completely for me.
Thank you to everyone who has come to party! There is still time to link up. The linky will be open for almost another week!

Participate as many times as you want- just be sure it relates to the Gelli Plate. If you notice your link deleted it is because it didn’t have a thing to do with the Gelli plate and that is what we’re celebrating here!
It’s day 6 of the party and I am not cleaning for it! I don’t like to clean. I really don’t like to clean. Just ask my long suffering teens who have to do dishes and sweep and do laundry! So I find it joyful when I don’t need to clean my Gelli Plate! For those of you who like to clean the dried acrylic paint comes right off with water.
I built up the layers of paint by printing but not pulling up all the ghost prints that I could have. That leaves traces of paint each time. By the time of the video I had approximately 10ish layers of paint on there but it is not like there is a law about how many layers to use. You can use whatever makes you happy – and isn’t the point of arting?
I wish I could tell you that I planned all these layers carefully and knew exactly what was going to show up on each print but I can’t. It is random and exciting. The more layers of paint the more depth to the grunge that gets pulled up onto the paper.
So now it is your turn to share any of your Gelli creations from prints to finished projects!

A ping pong ball, a ruler, a bottle of bug spray, a wine glass, packaging from a set of oil pastels? Yes. Really. The ping pong ball was a bit messy but I did like the result. That is what I used with the Gelli Plate today (and a few other items). I decided to find stuff from around the house to make some prints today.
Warning: This is rather addictive and leads to squeals of glee when boxes arrive with funky packaging which does alarm the children!
