What do you do with all the prints from the Gelli plate? Well, you make notecards with matching envelopes! I got the idea from Patti Parrish from inkyobsessions.blogspot.com. They will be in my Etsy shop tomorrow.

Gelli Printing
After making the journal, I just couldn't stop making prints, so I used packing tape for some image transfers:
Sometimes the colors show up better on a black background:
This morning, I decided to try something. I did not have whole sheet laminating film, but I did have a transparency and a large Xyron machine. So I ran the transparency through the Xyron to make a sticky back clear sheet. It worked great - even better than the packing tape. BTW - I use Perfect Pearls on the backs of the transfers to fill in the blank spots and neutralize the sticky surfaces.

Red Haired Girl
Thought I would paint a brunette today, but she ended up with red hair and pale skin. Oh well, it was good practice.
