Hey Peeps! I hope you're all having a wonderful week so far. It has finally stopped raining here long enough for the guys to start baling straw. It's tough going because it's turned off so stinkin' hot and humid here in Indiana but at least they are able to get something done without rain!
As you may (or maybe you don't) know the ATC swap deadline is quickly approaching. I thought it would be fun to create some ATC's using monoprints made using the Gelli Arts gel printing plate! So I dug out my Gelli plate, paints, bray and papers today and made WAY more prints than I intended to. But at least I had lots of painty fun!
Since I use a variety of papers to make my prints I mount them onto either a chipboard ATC base or an old playing/baseball card. I use Club Scraps book binding glue which I simply brush a thin coating over the ATC blank and place it on the back of my monoprint. It dries quickly and more importantly doesn't wrinkle like many glues do.
NOW, I thought it would be fun to have a little give-away today as well!! Gelli Arts is offering a "fun size" gel printing plate now...it's only 3" x 5" and it's just too stinkin' cute! It's advertised as being perfect for tags but it's also an ideal size for ATC's as well!
So here's what you get...an assortment of 20 tags, 3 really nice ATC blanks from Art Squares and a brand new 3" x 5" Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate!
All you have to do is post a comment
(or send me an e-mail) by 8-9-15!
Good Luck and Happy Printing!
Have never played with Gelli Plates so I'd love to win this fun size plus a few tags and ATC blanks. It looks like a lot of fun and no right or wrong way to do it. Thank you for the opportunity!

ReplyDeleteI would love to win a mini Gelli Plate! I think I would use it more often than my 8x10 one, which seems to lead to a big production every time I use it.

ReplyDeleteI tell you what that baling hay/straw is no stinkin joke. I used to help my grandpa and it's rough hot hard on the arms. Your men may have been secretly hoping for more rain versus going out in that stuff. Haha. Makes um good n strong that's for sure.
