I had another wonderful week of #gelprintJanuary2024 in the studio. The week started with Day #21 Stencil. I pulled out a never before used Klimt The Kiss Stencil (okay technically it's a Mask) by Elizabeth St. Hilaire from Joggles. I tried more liquid paints in blue and gold, which produced a really cool … Read more
Each year, I do two months of gelliprinting challenges, and I love the feeling I have creating art every day. For years, Lauren has done two months of Index Card a Day art (June & July), so I decided to join her for that fun. You can see my daily posts on Instagram (@SmilynStef) There … Read more
I completed Birgit's Printing Challenge on Instagram for the month of May. Day 21 was Triangle. I used my Triple Play Foam Stamps by @natkalbach, @birgit_koopsen and #marshavalk.

Here is what I chose from walking around … Read more
I was blessed with a Saturday day of inky, painty, arty fun. I started by creating my own Ephemera for my Wanderlust class. I never thought of using bits of my own gel press prints to adorn my pages. I cut them up and scanned them to create sheets I can use again and again. … Read more
Today's Gell(i)nktober #gellinktober is brought to you by the colors Orange & Yellow. I thought it would be fun to try to make a background for one of the Halloween cards I need to make.
