Hi!
Itās Sara here. Today is my first project to share on the Gelli ArtsĀ® blog and Iām so
excited.
I
have made some galaxy tags with the Gelli ArtsĀ® x Jane Davenport gel printing plate.
Watch my video to see my process:
First, I made a lot of backgrounds on the tags, all with neon acrylic paint. Iām using the Art Printing plates from Carabelle Studio to create
some easy drawings/texture in the background.
When
I have made enough tags, I cut some circles from cardstock with two different size punches.
We will use these as masks in the next step.
After that, I put some black acrylic paint on the GelliĀ® plate and place my circle masks directly on the plate. I then place my tags I made over the circles and roll my brayer over the tags to pick up that black paint. You can start to see that “galaxy” effect starting to come out!
Next, I free stitched with my sewing machine around the circles and
the borders.
Now we can really create the galaxy effect with some splatters of paint in the
black parts. I used Posca markers but you can use other things as a old
toothbrush or a brush with white acrylic paint.
I always like to add some embellishments, so I used the sticker
book from Tim Holtz to add some sentiment to my art work.
I
hope you enjoy the video, and if you create some galaxy tags inspired by this
project please tag me Instagram @sara_ferret and tag @gelliarts as well. I can’t wait to see them all!
Happy printing!

Love this technique!! It is so colorful and unique. Thanks for such fabulous inspiration.
I loved everything you did here! I felt so inspired to to sew more and to use some of your ideas to do my own thing. I will make some with bats for Halloween etc.
Very pretty tags! Love paints, stitching, and ribbons.
I love this!
