Treats on Tuesday with Christine - La gâterie du mardi avec Christine

Hi everyone, I have a card which I brayered ink on a gelli plate, then stamped the images directly on the gelli plate before pulling the print.

I used both ColorBox and Elements dye ink, brayering each colour over the 4 inch Circle Gelli plate. The inks are water based so sit on the surface. I then inked the Thistle and Flying Geese stamps with Versafine Clair Shady Lane and Nocturn. When stamping on a Gelli plate press the inked stamp firmly taking care not to slide over the surface, and not to press too hard so as to touch the edges of the stamps and cause shadowing. The moon was created by using a circle mask and blending ink around it. I masked the outside of the circle when I created the moon and when I stamped the images.

To give the Gelli plate image a little depth I used my black chalk pencil and shaded one side of the outer edge of the circle blending out the colour at the edges.
