Gelli Press Wreaths

I wanted to join the #gellifallfever Challenge from Gelli Press on Instagram … and this is my print.  It combines lots of layers of paint with some stencils and scratches and metallic bronze paint for overall shimmer.

When I make a print, I usually don't give any thought to what I'll ultimately make with the finished product.  I just like to play with paint and see what I end-up with.

The more I looked at this print, the more I thought about making a wreath.  The first wreath I found in my stash was the Tim Holtz Layered Holiday Wreath … but who says I can't stretch my stash and turn it into some fall wreath fun.  I don't even think you can tell they are Holly Leaves with these printed papers.

I cut my print in half, ran it through the die cut machine, ran it through the coordinating embossing folder, and these are my two end projects.

I used Cornflower Blue Ink and paper to pull out the blues in my print.  I'm joining the Autumn or Spring Challenge at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog …

I combined the same blue paper with purple from my stash (and a scrap of the Gelli Press Print) together with wooden birthday sticker.  I'm linking-up at Seize the Birthday where the Topping is Die cuts or Punches.

  1. Beautiful gelli print! I’m with you, it’s fun just to play with a gelli pad and decide what the prints are going to be used for later. Perfect to use this one for autumn wreaths! Thanks for joining the fun at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!
