SDC94: Flowers
Stampotique Designers Challenge is brought to us this week by Gez Butterworth. While many of us around the world are experiencing a delayed Spring, Gez has challenged us to "focus on flowers" in our art. I used my new Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate in creating this page in my art journal. I used the same flower stencil three times, using two different acrylic paints each time, then a second stencil (the chicken wire) over the top. Next, I used a Stampotique stamp called Dandelion Duo. I chose to stamp the dandelions in black rather than a strong color so that they might appear weaker than the other flowers (bear with me...there's a point here). The last step was to use a second Stampotique stamp called "You're Strong," created by my artist friend France Papillon from Belgium. Sometimes, the humor I inject into my art is subtle, as it is today. The point? Is not the dandelion the STRONGEST "flower" that you have growing in your yard?
So, here's the reveal:

Oh how colorful and fun Kay!! Looks like flowers in the sunshine! I love my Gelli Plate!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gelliprint Kay! I so wish I could get one of the 'real' plates but there is no distributor here in South Africa, and the postage and import tax cost more than the price of the plate! Instead I made one with gellatine, and my granddaughters had a whale of a time playing with it! In fact, my latest card creation has a background made by my 5yr old granddaughter. Take a look at this card and let me know what you think of her gelli printing!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a fantastic fabric print! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how this came put. The best thing about the gelli plate is this layering effects you can achieve...good stuff Kay! xox
