Just Playing for relaxation Therapy!

I decided to pull my Gelliplate out today and just play. It was fun creating without thinking about the outcome. Now I have a collection of pretty prints to use in the future.

I used one print to make a card for the Craft Stamper Take it, Make it challenge. The theme of this month's challenge is to 'Take a colour{s)'.


You possibly can't tell, but I used 2 stencils with the Gelliplate - STAMPlorations Flutter of Butterflies and TCW Mini Postcard. The butterflies stencil was used as a reverse - I pulled the paint off the stencil.  Then I used  the postcard stencil in the same way with the pink paint. When it was dry. I placed the stencil over the card and added the aqua paint.  I think I have the order correct, but next time I'll write it down as I go. To complete the card, I stamped some script and the bee image, mounted it on a white base card and added the STAMPlorations sentiment. I used grey Staz on ink, to keep it softer.

I shall also add this card to Virginia's View Challenge #14 Layers and Dimension and the STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge.
