Stamping with a Gelli Plate

Hi Everyone, today pulled out out one of my small gelli plates which comes as a set of 3 shapes (oval, rectangle and hexagon). I inked it up with some colour box Stephanie Barnard water based Dye inks. The ink sits on the surface of the gelli plate and give such a different look to acrylic paints.

The gelli plate is small enough to be used as a stamp so before adding the inks I attached it to an acrylic block swiped Seaglass and Mustard over the surface leaving a small gap so I didn't contaminate the ink pads. Then used the brayer to layer the inks.

I used the bird on a wire stamp and stamped it in Versafine Clair Nocturn but avoiding the bubbles, the bubbles were stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist. When the ink was dry I added some glossy accents to the bubbles.

I'm entering this for CAS Mix up's Challenge watercolour things with wings challenge (water based ink pads) and wings (my Magenta bird on a wire)
