I've been having fun with the GelliArts May printing challenge with @birgit_koopsen.
Day 1 was masking … I pulled out some of the oldest snowflake masks in my collection from Tattered Angels. The third print I pulled on the top right was my favorite.
Day 2 I broke out the hot glue gun and some cardboard to make my own hot glue stamp. It's amazing the detail you can create with simple textured lines. The blue and green combo on the bottom left is my favorite of the four.
Day 3 I stamped on some leftover shoe tissue paper from my stash. Nothing particularly magical, but tissue paper is always great for collage.
On Day 4 I printed with Gold. I have lots of gold paint in my stash because pulling prints with metallic paints is one of my favorites ways to make a print.
Day 5 was a repeat pattern. I used this brick-like stencil from my stash with a fun color combination.
Day 6 was Botanical. I tried printing with some small paper flowers.
Day 7 is Pill Strips … only I substituted Gum Strips instead.
Day 8 is letters. I used some faded foam alphabet stickers from my stash.
Day 9 is my favorite color – ORANGE. I tried two different orange paints and a paper towel roll for some patterns. I got a nice clean-up print too.
And Day 10 is Transfer. I have tried everything to get good transfer prints, but it always takes me 3 or 4 times just to have a half way decent one. This one is a picture of Lana del Ray from a fashion magazine … I think she looks quite lovely in purple.
Hope you're enjoying my printing adventure.
