The Challenge is, Use Paint

 Hey Everybody,

Our challenge is to use paint. You can find the challenge here.  

This is the first time I've used a gelli plate. I wanted muted colors for water so I used small amounts of color on the background. The stamps I used were, Sunny Studio-Best Fishes, Unity Stamps-Windowsill Woodlands.  Then I stamped my scene in Stazon black ink. I colored with Copic Markers being careful not to touch the lines of the ink. I also used Karin brushmarkers. I stamped the sentiment in versafine black ink. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Keywords: F4A848

Stamps: Sunny Studio-Best Fishes, Unity Stamps-Windowsill Woodlands

Paper: glossy white, black glimmer

Ink: stazon black, versafine black

Accessories: gel press, brayer, assorted paints, Copic Markers, Karin brushmarker pro markers

Techniques: gel press printing

I found a great video to show you what a gelli plate is and how to use it.

You don't need to use a gelli plate for this challenge. You can use paint any way you'd like. 

Here are a few ideas from the gallery for this challenge.

As you can see there are a lot of interpretations of 'use paint' for your card here in the samples. There are so many creative and artistic people who post their cards in the galleries here. It is an amazing community.

I hope you give this challenge a try. Maybe paint like acrylic paint, isn't your thing. You could use watercolor crayons or even watercolors. Do you remember using watercolors in school?  Like I've said before, I can't draw a straight line, but I can stamp and put a card together. LOL

Thanks for stopping by. Give your stamps, papers and supplies a look to see what you can use for this challenge.

Blessings,

Sue
