Gelli Plate Background

Hi Everybody,

The little panel to this card is created with the use of a Gelli Plate,  Distress Oxide Inks and a stencil.

I was having a playtime with the plate and I produced quite a few backgrounds that I can use on my cards ... but I didn't film the process.

So I will get it all out again and make some more using the plates and the Distress Oxides and this time I will actually get on film what I use.

And make some cards in the process using the panels that I create.

I have had the Gelli Plate for a long time and I got mine from Amazon, but you can get an equivalent one cheaper elsewhere, and they come un lots of different sizes.

I have used it very little and I always feel a little intimidated by it, but having said that I do like the card that is shown here.

 I have used acrylic paints in the past and they I am not comfortable with as they are far too messy for me. I am not the cleanest of crafters and they are too much even for me. 

I will get lots more practice in over the next few weeks and then I will feel more confident with it to film what I am doing. 

To thus card I added a frame around the panel and then added it to some gold card for the mat.
I topped it with some feathers cut from white, gold card and parchment. 
The self adhesive  pearls I have had for a long time and they need a little extra blob of glue to help them stick.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
