Gelli and Artistcellar.com Part 2

Today is part 2 of 3 posts of Printing with Gelli Plate and Artistcellar Stencils. Here is the link to
Part 1 of Gelli and Artistcellar.com if you would like to get caught up.

What you can make with these beautiful papers? I think the key is not to think that these are too precious to use. They are fun to make and you can make more in minutes..... Well- if you are me, I can go all afternoon. lol.

Now that you have all these fabulous monoprinted papers. WHAT will you ever do with them?
Here is just a few ideas.

• backgrounds
• envelopes
• jewelry
• mixed media
• canvas
• encaustic
• cards
• stationary
• ATC's
• gift wrapping

I could go on and on. You get the point. Anything you would use paper for use monoprint paper. I know you knew that. ;D

 My first thought was my mini journal... Due to the fact it has been awhile since I put anything in it.

Here is what I did to these pages. I outlined the paint lines with a "s" Pitt pen then added a velum paper shape, a bit of Distressed Inks and paint. It came together pretty simple having the paper already to use.

Hope you will find some inspiration from this post and thank you for joining us today. See you next Wendesday for some more fun.

Be Well-

Gelli & Artistcellar Stencils

Hello Creatives....

I have a 3 day tutorial for you that will come to you on Hump Day for the next 3 weeks. I will be making Gelli Prints on Day 1 (today). Day 2 & 3 will be projects that you can make with the prints.

I love using my Gelli Monoprinting Plate quite a bit. Yet, sometimes I will get on a roll and I love it so much I don't use these amazing papers. I am not sure why? They are simple to make. And More reason to play with it. Anyway, enough of that glimpse into my art life. I would like to use these beautiful papers and I started asking what would I use these papers on? What would you use these papers on?

So let's get started...
You will see a lot of images of what I did and how. The best results for my taste was the ghost images or second or third printings. That is just me and my aesthetic. Do whatever makes you giggle and have fun.

Here is what you will need:

• Artistcellar stencils (I used Old World Maps Series )
• Gelli Plate
• Brayer
• Acrylic Paints
• Ink Sprays 
• Water
• Towel for cleaning
• White Copy Paper...... I also want to try Deli Papers.

 Step 1:
Add acrylic paint to the Gelli I used a grey leaving some open spaces to add in ink sprays. I really like using the mix of both ink and paint.

Step 2:
Lay your stencil on top of the paint. Place paper on top and use your fingers or brayer to get the paint on to the paper. Here is the result of the first print.

Step 3:
Ghost prints.... So many ways to do this. This is the sequence that I did. By no means is this law. Do what feels good to you. I took off the stencil and laid the paper right on top of the Gelli.

 Detail.

Step 4:
Ghost print again.... just a finer version. I quite like the way this one looks. It has a lot of potential to add more ink, line work, doodles.

Step 5:

Clean up. Rather that waste all that goodness of ink and paint. I added water to the surface a bit of ink splatters. Then pressed the paper right into the puddles.  WOW... Ok this is my favorite one... Silly I know. All those steps to get this. ;) I just like the way the sparkle from the spray inks formed. 

Be sure to rise all your tools, stencils and Gelli Plate with water and dry.

 Detail

Ok Lovelies I will be back next week to show you a fun way to use these papers. Hope you can get some play time in. I made four of these series. So much fun to make.

Be Well.
