Mini Gelli Plates and Art Journaling with Jenn Engle
Hey
everyone! Today I have an art journal page to share using the Mini Gelli Plates
in an unusual way.
I
started out in my handmade journal which has a page of sheet music. I used
clear gesso over my page to keep the integrity of the music notes. Then, I got
out my octagon shaped mini Gelli Plate and some Distress Oxide ink and used the
plate to ‘smoosh’ color all over my background. I used 3 different colors of
Distress Oxide to get varying shades.
After
that, I used a chevron stamp and the Distress Oxide to stamp a line of chevrons
up my page. I activated the Distress Oxide by spraying it with water, and to
blur out the edges. Then, I used a grey ink to stamp my chevrons again to bring
back some definition.
Then,
it was time to work on my focal image. I used a piece of chipboard in the shape
of a mini tag and a Patina Effect Paste from Finnabair. It’s a 3-step process
and makes this incredible texture and color on your piece. I just love the
stuff.
Now, it was just time to assemble my focal cluster. I put some black thread, the chipboard tag, a leaf diecut and a Paper Doll from Tim Holtz and glued everything down.
I finished my page off with some stickers by Tim Holtz that are supposed to
look like phrases cut out from books. And that was it! Be sure to check out the
video to see the entire process.
