I tried Lydia Fiedler new technique: Gel Plate Impressionism,
that she shared on Splitcoaststampers (SCS).
I was intriqued, especially since Lydia used Distress Oxide Inks!
I followed Lydia's photo and video tutorial for my background,
but stamped my silhouette flower image after I had made my background using my
MISTI and archival black ink.
I then die cut my image with Memory Box Stitch Rectangles die,
popped up on fun foam and spritzed with Sheep Shimmer Craft spray.
Next stamped my sentiment and attached to SU Very Vanilla Thick card base and Done!
A quick and fun background technique.
Supplies:
Stamps: SU Fabulous Florets (ret) and A Dozen Thoughts (ret)
Paper: SU Very Vanilla Thick. Fluid 100 Hot Press Watercolor Paper
Inks: Archival Jet Black. Distress Oxide: Frayed Burlap, Lucky Clover, Broken Chine, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans.
Accessories:Gelli Plate 2 5/8" x 3" (Gift from friend). MISTI, 91% rubbing alcohol. mister, Shimmer Spray.
Thank you for visiting my friends. Hugs..
ReplyDeletegorgeous Nancy, I saw the video this morning and thought I would give it a try. I love the effect you got from the DOX inks :)
ReplyDeleteNow this is interesting, Nancy because I did not see the tutorial. Love your results though . Looks fun and easy too. Your blog is always so full of interesting techniques so thanks for sharing with us. Love your color choices too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, trying that technique. Next time I'm at Christine's, I'll give it a try with her gelli plate. Love that Fabulous Florets image against your oxide ink background.
ReplyDeleteGood for you to try the new technique so quickly, Nancy! The effect of your background is very interesting. Frayed Burlap works like spices in cooking. The simple silhouette flower stamp is a great choice for the background. Hugs.. Hideko
ReplyDeleteA beautiful technique Nancy! Love your card!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on this technique, Nancy! I can even see the shimmer from the spray! The simple leaf silhouette is perfect for showing off the background!
ReplyDeleteNancy, this is gorgeous!!! I can't wait to give the technique a try!
ReplyDeleteUnique and wonderful effect with those oxides. Not tried the gelli plate yet....It's been added to my list
ReplyDeleteOh it's wonderful Nancy! Loving the effect and the colours!
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of this design Nancy! I'm sorry I've not been around much! Thank you for your sweet comment. For some reason I haven't been getting e-mail notifications of comments from Blogger? It was purely by accident I discovered a load of unpublished comments when I was looking for something else on my blog??
