Gelli Print Creativity

As I've been participating in the #birgitkoopsengelprintingchallenge with GelliArts on Instagram this month (if you're not following me on Instagram yet, please do @SmilynStef), clearly I'm amassing a collection of prints quite quicker than I'm able to turn them into art, so today I decided to focus on that a bit.

Day 18 was Fabric.  I printed on a piece of denim, which then produced a fantastic texture on the cardstock with the second print.

 

 

Since the background was mostly pink (with a bit of gold), I decided to join the Color Throwdown Challenge. 

 

 

I love word dies (especially with a background die), so I pulled out several from Simon Says Stamp for today's cards.  I die cut the print with a Dotted Rectangle Die Cut from Dare 2B Artzy Rectangle Framelets and attached it to a Kraft cards base.

 

I finished with the Simon Says Stamp You Matter die cut in white cardstock with a light grey backing to incorporate all of the colors.

Day 19 was to create a print with a found object.  As I searched through my Pantry, I found this mesh back that held some tea capsules, so I emptied it and added some paint.

 

 

Day 20 was to create with plastic wrap.  I thought the colors I chose sort of look like Ketchup and Mustard.

 

 

I decided to go back through prints from earlier days this month and made a few more cards.  I used the the Day 16 Print made using a Carabelle Studios Texture plate with a Simon Says Stamp Happy B-day Word Die by CZ Design.  This time I backed the white die cut with vellum.

 

 

With these vibrant colors and the shine of a bit of gold & the contrast of the white sentiment, I'm linking-up at the Seize the Birthday Make It Pop! Challenge.

 

 

 

And for my final card today, I used the print I made earlier in the month with crocheted lace.

 

 

I used the Simon Says Stamp Yay You Words die by Cathy Zielske.

 

 

I'm linking-up this card at the Anything Goes Challenge at Cupcake Inspiration.

Thanks for joining my Gelli Print fun today.
