I'm in the craft room this evening for a change and thought I would show you a card that I created a using a Gelli plate print that had been sitting in my stash for a little while.
The smaller background is glossy paper with alcohol inks. I stamped the beautiful Song Thrush Silhouette by Chocolate Baroque with black archival ink. I created the flowers with Crealie dies (CLCS24, CLCF22 & Double Fun No 12). I coloured the flowers with Distress Inks before molding.
UPDATE: I received an email asking if the alcohol inks would hurt my Gelli plate.... I thought it would, but see information below from Win Din. However, I did not use Alcohol Inks on my Gelli plate. The larger background is a Gelli Plate Print created with Acrylic paints on the Gelli plate. The smaller background behind the bird is glossy paper with Alcohol Inks. Sorry about any confusion !
ADDITIONAL UPDATE (May 22): Win Din, talented mixed media artist, left me this information in a comment on this post: "I've been assured by the Gelli people that since alcohol is a component of the Gelli plates, the inks will not harm them. They may, however, stain them, but with prolonged use, so does acrylic paints to some degree".
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the week,
Shirley

Thank you for giving us that ultra closeup of this amazing creation, Shirley. It is scrumptious in every way!! I'm not even angry that my jaw is dislocated! Hugs, Darnell
Shirley, I had to stop by to tell you that I love the colour combination in this piece! Wow! The design is just beautiful too with the black borders.
Brilliant use of your gelli print paper
and the black highlights are so dramatic and architecturally pleasing!
Happy gardening.
We hope to reduce the size of our gardens and hopefully make them more manageable.

Awesome look with the black and the blue greens. The alcohol bkgrnd blended beautifully with your gelli print. Marvelous match of the shades/colors on this look, even though done with different media & techniques. I love that new CB bird. The black frames on this pretty one really made the elements just sparkle so gorgeously. TFS & Hugs
Wonderful card, Shirley, (you know I'm loving that colour combination) and I've been assured by the Gelli people that since alcohol is a component of the Gelli plates, the inks will not harm them. They may, however, stain them, but with prolonged use, so does acrylic paints to some degree.
I love your card Shirley, I haven't really played with the gelli plate but must give it another go. The flower embellishments go really well with the stamped design xx
wow such detail...such texture!
Such a beautiful card!
