#gelypostcardplay

Welcome to the July challenge hosted by ‎@CeriGriffiths ! #GelyPostcardPlay
The guidelines are: 4"x6" size, use something that was made on a gelplate or made while using a gelplate to include digitals/printables, put the corresponding number on the front (July 1 would be a one, etc.), and have fun. If you want to play and don't have any gelplate related items just play along anyway. Do it when you can. If you don't make 31, it's okay.
Here's the video link for Ceri's introduction to the challenge: • #GelyPostcardPlay Launch
#inspiredby ‪@birdietherecycledhippychic642‬
I'm using June prompts by Paulla, Becky. and ‎@EddieMakesArt for a jumping off point for some of the cards. The printable for that can be found on Eddie's community page in CZcams.
My goal is to post every day in July. Most videos will be short with some longer ones showing techniques on the gel plate, etc.
I will be choosing a winner from the comments for each postcard mid August. I'm making one to keep and one to give away each day. The giveaway is open to anywhere I can mail an envelope without filling out paperwork. If I can mail it with an international forever stamp, I'll mail it.
Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing; the easiest & a free way to help support my channel Love&hugs

Three spiffing postcards! Beautiful dainty flower heads. Love watching you create, and listening to you chat along as you do 😊

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@leighcreates]

My favourite is the black flower, they remind me a bit of dandelions. xxx

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you, Leigh ♥️

[@keenDesign64]

Scribble,,,doop, doop, doop XXX Are they dandelions...when they become those ones that you can blow off all the little fluffs??
Anyhoos....GORGEOUS..... I love all three but the blue one is my fave xxx

[@nancydcurrystudio]

Love, love, love this flower! Can’t believe how quickly you were able to free hand draw and make three postcards, even if you did a bit off camera. Lovely!

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you 😊

[@laurabenns]

Wow! These Flowers are so effective. Will definitely give this a try. My fave 🤔, either of the 2 with white flowers! Love these cards, only day 8 and the variety is impressive! Thank you 🎉🎉

[@doreethorpe4800]

If I have to pick I will go with the all black. They all turned out great! It is amazing how adding the curved lines really changed the look. ❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️ Right? I was surprised about that...and pleased.

[@barbarawafer94]

These postcards are beautiful. I’m amazed at how you can just quickly draw things and have them come out beautifully. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, but I’m going to give this a try. Thank you. 😊

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks so much! I hope you love what you draw. 🩵

I love the black with the white tips…reminds me of dandelion ❤️

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️

[@kimberleymaloy1728]

Hi Darcy, they are all beautiful but if I had to pick a favorite, I would say the black w/white flowers because it reminds me of one of my favorite flowers. The other is daffodil. Those backgrounds are awesome too! TFS 😊

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@charmainewagner-bell2764]

So beautiful! I like the one on the far right. 🎉❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

[@elizabethtrumble]

I love the Geli print backgrounds that you used today! I think the flowers really go well on them. I think my favorite is the black and white one that you put the ink on. Love all three of these! 💜💜💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much 🩵

[@susananderson8428]

I like "fireworks flower" but I was thinking of dandelions! I loved blowing dandelions when I was a kid. My addy didn't like me "sowing" them in the yard but I did it anyway. The backgrounds are wonderful and the flower is a perfect focal point. They are all wonderful. Nice job. ❤❤❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@@susananderson8428 thank you, Susan ♥️

Oooo…this was so much fun! I like each of them but the black with cream tips was my favorite. I like how you wrote out the number today.

You made my morning with your sound effects 😂so good!
I first thought the all black flower was the best but now I’m not sure anymore … I like a different one best each time I have a look ❤❤❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks, I couldn't pick either 😉

[@sherrrysparklynn]

Love the sound effects! I think I like the black with white.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

[@crazycardlady]

My favorite is the black with the white tips

[@herghostcreations]

Yay for weird little moods and silly songs (I sing them to my dog all the time, rofl). Wonderful cards!!

[@herghostcreations]

Love me some splatter, but I tend to overdo it 😂 I like all of them but the white one might be my favorite (ink or watercolor smooshing is one of my favorite background techniques for cardmaking and it makes me think of that, but the other two are awesome as well)... idk how we're supposed to pick, they're all awesome!!

Good idea 🩵

[@gryphonshale]

These are all great, but my fav is the cream. Actually that one looks like you did black first and then white over it. I like that look a lot. It gives each little scribble shape some shadows/depth. TFS ❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️ That one seems to be most popular.

I did like the black, but when you put the ink on the half and half I think I like that one better. Seems like it has more texture.

I like all 3, but my favourite is the white with Antique Linen on top. Not the 3rd one you brought in, one of the original 2.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you 🩵

[@Gizellescrafts]

I love these postcards, I haven't read through all the comments but the name of flower that comes to mind is a Dandelion.... I think?

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks! 🩵 It was an allium that had gone to seed. Similar look to dandelions, but bigger.

[@baltmac3704]

I think I can do this.However, I can't pick out which one I like better

♥️🥰♥️

[@birdietherecycledhippychic642]

The one at the very beginning is in bloom, purple. The one farther in the video had gone to seed. It did kinda look whitish cream.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I'll have to go back and look at the one in bloom. Isn't it funny that the one that had gone to seed is the one that caught my eye.

[@jackielubeck]

It's so nice to think of all the things you can make with a 4 x 6 - to have a set of small paintings and such. Thx WHERE IS THE 8
