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!!
