It's Monday and this week there are no rules at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! All the more reason to join in!
It was a while since I've used my Gelli Plate. I dusted it off ready to experiment. So far I only have printed on white paper, and I wanted to try something else. I really like the bright greens and blues and I think they very well with a black background. Reason enough to experiment.
The Gelli Plate always gives a different result. I actually had applied too much paint, but therefor I got this beautiful print. It's a second ghost image, which I pulled of the Gelli Plate with a layer of black paint. It's an easy way to clean the Gelli Plate (okay, to get it cleaner ...), and often it gives my a beautiful and interesting print.
The result is great, but how am I going to use this dark background? I wanted to make some more layers, and since it is a dark background, Simon Says Stamp White ink is the perfect idea.
As a focal point I had to use the man of the Purveyor stamp set. I stamped him on Kraft Cardstock and applied a thin layer of Multi Medium Matte. This way it's easier to give him some color. The colors stay more true.
To join in all you need to do is make a project that fits this weeks challenge and you can be the winner of the $50 gift voucher that our amazing sponsor Simon Says Stamp offers. This prize will go to a random entry. So go over to the Stamp and Show Monday Challenge blog, let the DT members inspire you and join in the fun!
Thank you for stopping by! Love to see you next time!
Hugs,
Sandra

Cool effect with the bright paints on the dark paper. I haven't tried that and now I am going to have to dig mine out to try it too!
Turned out really cool on the black! I need to dust mine off and try this!
Wow.. the background colors and patterns are so beautiful! Sandra. Such an awesome creation! :)
Love the steampunk feel of this piece. So fun to see how you actually made it, putting your own stamp on this challenge!
Cool dapper project, Sandra! I love how you used darker colors and popped them out with white!!

How fun! LOVE the richness and dark color, along with the pattern! Great image to use with it too!
The gelli plate background looks amazing Sandra and I love the Purveyor. Great details.
Best wishes Annie x
This is amazing Sandra!! I love that background. The white script was a perfect addition. And the wash tape is so great on it. It really focuses your attention on the stamped image. Awesome make -- Mary Elizabeth
I'm still too chicken to try gelli plates, but you nailed it! Such great patterns and rich colors. I also really like the white border around the card.
This is soooo cool Sandra. I love, love, love masculine stuff! Thrilled to be on the team with you! You'll have to give me some hints on this gelli plate?
This is stunning Sandra! The background is amazing and there's so many wonderful layers and textures ~ I love it!! Hugs :)
Fabulous Sandra, love your Gelli plate background, it is wonderful!
Very creative! You make me want to use my Gelli plate which is still in the package!
What a great idea to use black paper and it turned out so cool! I love your gorgeous print and wonderful card.
