The next lesson learnt was think carefully about the colours you use if you add more than 1 to the plate! My first choice went a bit muddy on the plate when I brayered over it! I also noticed that when doing the second print there seemed to be a lot of paint, so that was my third lesson (less is more!)
So in the end I used 1 colour at a time and used the selective print technique I had seen over at the Colourful Gelli Party and layered up the 3 primary colours.
Much better, I still have several lessons to do and so I am sure to be back with more gelli prints, despite the washing up involved if you use mask!
So that was Saturday and today I made this triptych card using my prints and some black stamping.

Your triptych is magnificent!! Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was far more complicated than you thought at first attempt. A lot of fun though to get all messy!
ReplyDeleteLove the end result- the triptych card. Have you plans to use the gelli plate again?
Your color choices get me going! Love this!!!
