Double The Fun

Posted on February 21, 2016 | 29 Comments

I wanted to give a shout out for Jodi at Life In Between and her daughter-in-law, Colleen for their Etsy shop – McKinney x 2 Designs!  I purchased a little gift for a friend and one of Jodi’s beautiful watercolor cards.  I am very pleased with the quality of their artwork and the fast service, right to my door!  They look like they will be doubly successful – YAY!

Speaking of FUN!  Here is a rainbow of Gelli prints I did yesterday:

I did some on 90 lb hot press watercolor paper and some on deli paper.  I used Golden Fluid Acrylics.  It was super fun to mix the colors and try a variety of stencils and other patterns.

One such experiment was using a domino to imprint patterns:

Double the fun to create the papers and use them in a collage some day…

Cheers!  🙂

      Thanks Laura! I had so many that I liked that it was hard to choose which ones to show here. 😜 For the alphabet stencil I used red and magenta and mixed them together on the Gelli plate with my roller. ❤️

    What a sweet bunch of goodies you got from Jodi and Colleen’s Etsy shop! And your Gelli prints are pretty awesome! But you can’t tempt me yet…at least not with hubby giving me the evil eye. LOL! 😉

      Hi Carmel – glad you like my prints. ❤️ I usually use one color when I make a print, let it dry and then add layers of different colors on top. If I do use two colors, I try to use ones that are in the same family. For example, I used red & magenta on the alphabet stencil one. Hope this helps you. 😄
