Art Journaling with Dazzelerz and a Gelli Plate

Hello and Happy Monday!  Tina here today today with an Art Journal page created using my Gelli Plate and Shimmerz Paints.

To begin, I created several Gelli Prints, using Dazzelerz and my 8x10 Gelli Plate.    Spread a small amount of Dazzelerz on your Gelli Plate using a brayer, covering the entire plate in a thin layer.

Place a favorite stencil on top of the Gelli Plate and cover with a sheet of heavy weight card stock.  I use this cardstock for my gelli printing.    Press firmly on the paper, using a brayer to ensure even coverage.

Above, you can see my first print with only 1 color and design element.  Continue this process using different stencils and colors of Dazzelerz until you have a print you are happy with.

Once I had finished printing several gelli prints, I wanted to add more texture, color, and design, so using more stencils and Shimmerz sprays, I added more to each print.

Here's some of my finished prints, ready for Art Journaling or other Mixed Media or Scrapbooking projects.

I used the same stencils for each print, be varied the color and layering to achieve different looks.  I tend to create multiple prints at one time and keep them in a drawer for future (and immediate) use.

I picked out the print I wanted to use for my Art Journal page, and applied Hazel & Ruby removable Stencil-Masks to create my sentiment. 

Using black Krylon spray-paint, I sprayed directly over the stencil-masks.  I immediately removed the stencil-masks and let dry.

After the spray paint had dried, I doodled around each letter with Gelly Roll pens.  (for a bit of fun)

Once I was done with my doodling, my page seemed a bit empty, so instead of adding additional doodling, I thought it would be fun to cut up one of my other gelli prints and add handmade flowers to my spread.

I cut rough flower shapes from the print, and added some doodling to each flower.  Here's some close-ups.

The pop of blue is a great contrast to the oranges and reds and love the the 3 dimensional look.
