First Gelli Plate Print

Played with the Gelli Plate for the first time this morning. Not a clue what I was really doing - adding layers and stencils and textures from a vague memory of a video. 

This was my first attempt ... made into a card. I used the Hero Arts stencil Large Lotus Pattern, with some bubble wrap and the Hero Arts Tiny Ink Spots stamp adding more texture. Added a sentiment and butterfly with some wink of stella and voila!

Tried another one, and things got worse (paint was not coming off onto the paper), but luckily I found and re-watched that wonderfully fun video by Barbara Gray, and found out how to do it. So you'll be seeing lots more of these. I just love the rich vibrant look.
