I have continued to enjoy the #marchprintingchallenge with @Gelliarts on Instagram.
Day 11 was Leaves. I picked-up some silk oak leaves at The Create/Exchange and gave them a try for printing. I didn't get the full leaf detail I had hoped for, but I still loved the end result, especially with the gold metallic paint.
Day 12 was Flowers. Again, I used some silk flowers from The Create/Exchange to create some awesome texture on the plate. I love the color combination of Peach with a bit of Raspberry.
Day 13 was layers. I used a loose line stencil (that you can see part of at the top and bottom right) and printed multiple layers, moving the stencil around with each print.
For Day 14, Masks I went old-school with a Tim Holtz Idea-ology music Mask with two Simon Says Stamp inks.
Day 15 was Ombre. I created my blend with two Concord & 9th Inks … I love the soft ombre (with hints of music from the print from Day 14).
Day 16 was Texture. I picked-up this little plastic cup thinking the texture might be fun to print with … and it turned out my intuition was correct. The Holbein paint was really wet, so the cup slipped a bit when I rolled it. I can't wait to try it again with pink or drier paints to see how that looks.
I love learning as I create with new textures and mediums.
