#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
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

Hi Darcy, you crack me up every day! Thanks for showing us the entire process for this technique. I'm a visual learner and I love when I get to see it done all the way through. I know sometimes it's just not feasible but I'm glad today it was. I think both of the cards turned out really nice. I'm not usually a bright fluorescent fan but these colors somehow work together well. TFS 😊

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@kimberleymaloy1728 thanks so much, Kimberly ♥️

[@brendagoulette759]

Love that color 🧡 orange. You and Ceri are always teaching us something while making your post cards❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you 🧡 We do try and it's nice to know it's received well. Hugs

"It's a little off-center, but so am I". Bwahahaha! I'm a lot off-center, and I guess that's why I love your videos so much Darcy! I love these! I love fluorescent paint! I don't know why I do, but I do, and I love both of these. Actually, the purple and orange one is my favorite! Great job! 💜💜💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@susananderson8428]

I've always been a purple/orange kinda old lady! I fell in love with the saying "When I am old, I will wear purple!" Not that i actually wear wild colors but I am more adventurous since my hair turned gray! Thes are wonderfully fun cards. TFS. ❤❤❤

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Love that! 💜🧡

[@doreethorpe4800]

SoHo paint is sold by Jerry's Artarama, & they are at a decent price for a 8.45 oz tube. xo

Thank you for that. I'll check them out.

[@jackielubeck]

Hmmmm - I think the orange is a ? and maybe the purple? But hey... thx.

[@cheryl_texacana3999]

QUESTION: did you know ahead of time to geli print on cardstock or do you do that regularly? I only ever print on copy paper or tissue paper.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I gelplate print on a variety of types of paper regularly. I often use the heavier pieces for ephemera in journals. I did, however, know what Ceri was planning a few months before so I was finally cutting some of those pieces in my stash that had been there awhile.

[@dianeolson3777]

Will you still be able to post when you are taking care of Grandma

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I've got videos made through the 18th so far. Hopefully, I can make a couple more tomorrow. I'm taking my video equipment with me. I may have to do voice-overs or silent videos because of the noise where the light is good at their house.

[@dianeolson3777]

@@DarcysMixedMedia sounds good…good luck and 🙏 for Grandma

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@dianeolson3777 thank you. Praying my aunt's ankle heals quickly and fully as well.
