Hi and welcome to my blog! I am sharing another handmade background with you today. This is one of my favorite ways to make a background using my gelli plate. I dropped a few alcohol ink colors on my gelli plate and used a brayer to blend the colors and to cover the plate. I immediately placed my stencil over the colors, pressed the stencil a bit with my hand and lifted it off. Next I brayered a light coat of cream acrylic paint over the gelli plate and then pulled the print.

I stamped the bear by using the rock-n-roll technique. I stamped the bear with brown ink and then rocked the stamp around the edges on a mahogany ink pad.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a blessed day!
