I'm back for another Summer Camp Gel Printing Challenge with GelliArts … and today's theme is Botanicals. I used to love to pick all of the wildflowers (and quite a few weeds) in the summer and create my own bouquets and wreaths. I was so proud when my Grandma hung one that I made on her wall.
I was looking for stencils, when I found this unopened sheet of adhesive stencils I picked-up from a Chalk Couture Vendor three years ago. I cut one of the flowers out and then used a cheap make-up sponge to apply paint to my Gel Press plate until it was covered with blooms.
They weren't perfectly neat, but that's the joy of Gel Press Printing and Mixed Media art.
With my Cadmium Orange Blooms, I decided they were perfect for the Color Challenge at Sunday Stamps … wish I had a dress in those colors.
I also used the layout from Freshly Made Sketches together with a cupcake & birthday sentiment sticker.
I'm having a lot of fun just working on a single print with a theme.
And who doesn't love the fun of summer camp without all of the bug bites and sunburn.
Wow, Stef, how cool is that gel printing?! Love this sunny orange background! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
Very cute! Love the background panel with those beautiful flowers. Thanks for joining us at Sunday Stamps, hope to see you again soon!
