Two more ...

...autumn envelopes.

There's something about these big envelopes that I really find freeing, in terms of experimenting with Gelli-printing.  I also really like using prints for envelopes.

I stamped the leaves (PaperArtsy) over the top, using pigment chalk ink

I like the contrast of the red and orange against the gray, faded summer flowers.

I'm still working out how to use real leaves in my Gelli-prints.  These served as outlines rather than 'prints':

I started and ended with some ghost layers (before & after the print with leaves) for more texture.  And this is how it turned out:

Gelliprinted Envelopes Using Leaves

It's autumn where I am and I'm inspired by the leaves turning colours.  These large envelopes are the perfect medium for leaf prints on the Gelliplate.

I've got this one addressed and about ready to go...

Card Number 3 from First Masterboard

Card Number 3 from First Masterboard

A  design similar to the last one, but with different coloured card layers, a wee effort at calligraphy, and an envelope made from a different Gelli-print.

A bit of edging and detail using a gold Uniball Signo gives it a bit more zip, the photo doesn't really pick it up. 

The colours of the card and envelop are far more similar than how it appears in the photos.
