On Tuesday I discovered some paints had dried up so in a bid to make sure my paints were ok and get rid of those that weren’t I had some fun gelli printing! After all part of the fun of decluttering and tidying is playing with what you find along the way!
Well I may have got rather distracted with the playing…
Well once I had cleared away the paints and trimmed the papers I had made I grabbed the top one … the one with the leaves at the sides and decided to get something made with it!
I first added some more green to the edge using Mowed lawn distress oxide and then splattered with the same.
Then I grabbed old dsp that that I had cut up and layered all the flowers around the panel and adhered them down.
This totally changed up the panel and made it more vintage rather than grungy I think.
I wrapped some green ribbon round the panel with a little bow to one side and then picked out some scraps of text paper and a little bit of leftover dsp (this is reverse of the floral side) and inked up the edge and layered them up over the ribbon.
Then I added the sentiment that was embossed and die cut.
I mounted the panel on cream and then Merry Merlot. I also added some gems that coordinated.
Love how this came together and really pleased with all the gelli prints I’ve got to play with! Plus one whole box cleared out with paints that had gone off which is frustrating and satisfying in equal measure!
Happy crafting!
