A Gelli Print For My Sister

The other day I received a shipment of Dyan Reaveley's new "Couture" stamps from "The Funky Junkie Botique"

The one I ordered was called "A Walk in the Park". These are large stamps and I just love that they are too! My page here is 8x10 so hopefully that will give you an idea on how large the stamp is.

I am also obsessed with my Gelli Plate right now so I wanted to  use one of my prints again for this one.

I really like to show before and after pictures with the gelli print background because I want you to see how easy it is to do something cool with these prints once they are made. 

Here is a photo of what the print looked like before I started the page.

It's busy but I really like that the colors are so vibrant so I decided to use it.

To get started I wanted to break up some of the busy-ness of the print so I used Wendy Vecchi's diamond stencil with black embossing paste over parts of the background.

I also added pieces of black cardstock that I cut with Tim Holtz Washer Die

It needed a little more so I added a black cardstock cityscape to the bottom. The cityscape was actually perfect for the Walk In The Park Dylusions stamp.

I cut out some circles with another one of my Gelli Prints. Actually It wasn't a gelli print at all but a black piece of cardstock that I had used to wipe off my brayer while doing some gelli printing.  I added a little black paint and white gel pen swirls to them.

For the Girl, I used yet another gelli print, it looked like this before I stamped the girl

Since these Dylusions stamps are clear I was able to position it where I wanted, it was great!

I also used the same page for the hat. For the head and ponytail I had to free hand draw it and I used brown card stock since I wanted a brunette girl. I used my gelli print again for the ponytail holder in her hair. 

For the words, I used Dylusions Alphabet stamp set and white acrylic paint.

I used my white gel pen to create some dots and go around the cityscape (thanks to my friends at ATC_Fun yahoo group for this idea!!)

Here is my finished project

This page is special because it's going to my sister in Colorado. She wanted a piece from me to hang in her home. What an honor!! 

I am entering this page into the Frilly and Funky Sunday Share challenge. Linda is giving away a 25% off discount to the winner. Sweet!
