I saw this
lay out called ‘Night on the town’ from Julie G and loved the image of the pretty
dress. Unfortunately I don’t own such a stamp, but no panic because a while ago
I saw this great tutorial from Jennibellie about making your own stamps using
string and wanted to give this a try, this was the perfect opportunity. I drew the image on cardboard, glued string to
it and sealed it with gel medium. According to the tutorial you best use the
stamps with acrylic paint as ink doesn’t really work that well, but to my surprise
it worked just fine. I think it has something to do with the type of string, I
used kitchen string, this is fairly smooth.
left the homemade stamp ( which has already yellow paint on it because I tried it out on the gelli plate :-)) right the stamped image using stazon |
I stamped the dress on a gelli print, cut it out
and glued it to another print. I also
made this super cute little coat hanger. This makes the perfect birthday card
for my husband’s grandmother tomorrow.
I also will be linking this post to August's gelli print party.
Bye for now, hope to see you soon back.
Brilliant! Love that you made your own stamp and then to see the dress with wonderful Gelli printing! Wow! So glad you shared this with the party!
