Hello everyone,
Giovanna here! Today, I hope to cheer you up a bit from this gloomy weather
with a super colorful post. These prints will feature luscious leaves, bright greens and
yellows, flamingos, and giraffes all
together to create a jungle style theme.
In this video, I apply the technique to heavy cardstock, plain envelopes, and cotton fabric. Enjoy!
On White Heavy Cardstock:
Put some drops of
acrylic paint on the Gelli Arts® 6″x6″ gel printing plate. I used Gelli Arts® Premium Acrylic Paint in Freshwater, Deep Jungle, Kiwi, and Sunbeam colors.
Spread the paint
evenly with a brayer.
Lay the stencil on the plate.
Press lightly with a sheet
of white cardstock.
Repeat until you fill
the whole piece of cardstock.
Clean the plate with
parchment paper, which makes a perfect background for other craft projects. Now you can turn your heavy cardstock into cards.
On White Envelopes:
Figure out where the
addresses go and mask them with scraps of paper.
Put some drops of
acrylic paint on the Gelli Arts® 6″x6″ gel printing plate. Here I use Sunbeam, Freshwater, and Kiwi.
Spread the paint
evenly with a brayer.
Lay the stencil on the plate.
Press lightly with a white
envelope.
Repeat until you fill
the whole envelope.
Peel off the masks. Now you have a printed envelope to go with your cards!
On White Cotton Fabric:
What about a
rainbow jungle style?
If you’re going to
wash your fabric, first mix your acrylic paints with a fabric painting
medium in a palette.
Put some large drops of acrylic paint on the Gelli Arts® 6″x6″ gel printing plate. Here I use Freshwater, Mixed Berries, Sunbeam, Kiwi, and Tiger Lily.
Spread the paint
evenly with a brayer.
Lay the stencil on the plate.
Lay the fabric down and
press firmly.
Lift the fabric. Clean the leftover paint with a piece of parchment paper.
Repeat until you fill
the whole piece of fabric. Now you can turn your printed fabric into anything you want, such as a pencil case!
We can’t wait to see your jungle style prints!
Thanks for stopping by!
Giovanna
