Alcohol Inks on a Gelli Plate

Our Group of Seven Cardmakers' technique for this month is Alcohol Inks on a Gelli Plate.  See the Group of Seven post for full instructions.

 

 

I used a small round gelli plate and various blue and green alcohol inks.  I squirted them on the gelli plate, added blending solution to dilute them, and moved them around with my Tim Holtz air puffer.  I pressed regular white cardstock on top and pulled the print.

I stamped and heat embossed the wildflowers and sentiment on top, trimmed the panel, and popped it up on fun foam on a dry embossed background.

Using the same colours and more blending solution, I did a second print for this card:

I used different stamps but also heat embossed them.  Die cut it into a circle and popped it up on fun foam on the card base.

Head on over to Group of Seven to see more examples from the rest of the group and feel free to try it and link up your card.  It's not a challenge so we won't be moderating the entries.  But we'd love to see more examples using this technique.
