Two posts in one day! This morning's batch of gelli prints on colored card stock (the white looking is actually an egg shell color). I experimented with stencils, paper masks, torn papers, a jar lid with cut outs, paper cut outs, a peacock feather stamp, and a texture tool.
Until yesterday, I had been using printmaking paper and mixed media paper from a journal to print on, but I had all this card stock and decided to try it. I think I prefer the white, egg shell, off white back grounds over the coral and green ones, and I LOVE using paynes grey on them, although the colors on here are not true and the paynes gray looks blue.
I think the card stock gives the prints a softer, slightly out of focus look. Maybe it's just the way I did it? Anyway, I think I'm finally getting braver and getting the hang of gelli printing with this batch. Can't wait to try something different with the next batch!

Isn't it so much fun?! I got a Gelli plate late last year and need to play with it some more. You've got some nice looking prints here. Thanks for sharing. I came over from CED.
