Mary says "For my project, I've created this simple layout on fabric! I love how the Memento Luxe inks give almost the look of watercolor when watered down, but keep their vibrancy and the bit of stamping done on the embroidery hoop and ribbon with the Waybill/Invoice Background add a lovely contrast to all that color. And do you recognize those butterflies?? Yep--I've embossed the Butterfly Specimens stamp onto vellum and daubed a bit of color on the back." More details on her blog.

Hands AJ Page

I love making Gelli Plate prints with acrylic paints and mediums, but had been wanting to create several prints with ink instead. So this was the perfect opportunity.

Using several techniques, I applied Memento Luxe Ink to my Gelli Plate, creating one yummy later after another. Some prints were made by applying the ink directly to the plate(1), randomly creating layers of color, while other prints were made, using stencils for more pattern and design (2).

For my Art Journal page, the background was created using the above method (1). I stamped (with Versafine ink) the edge of my page with 'Whimsical Diver' and 'Color Wheel Lines'. I added a bit of doodling with Memento Markers and it was complete.

For the center of my page, I stamped 'Hand Circus', then doodled again. I finished my page off with my quote. Viola! Easy peasy!

Me, Myself, & I

Using Gelli Print method (2) above, I stamped (with Memento Luxe Ink) a print with 'Zentangle'. I then cut cut randomly size rectangles stitched them to a larger Gelli Print. There is so much depth of color and texture. Just love this!

To bring in the same pattern from the Gelli Print, I also stamped (with Memento Luxe Ink) painted chipboard alphas for a whimsical touch.

For more texture, I covered my white cardstock with Creative Medium through a stencil. It's a subtle look, but adds so much. I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Have a great one!
