Gelli Printed Card Envelopes

I love making personalized envelopes to go with my cards. The card design is a digital print of a Gelli print I made. If you like this print, it is for sale in my Etsy shop.

Here is the video link if you want to see how I made the flower print.
For the envelopes, I used the same paints and colors so that they match the cards. I used Perfect Pearls for added shine and interest.

Beautiful prints. Far too good to use for envelopes. 😊

Thank you. I am thinking of doing a junk journal with Gelli printed envelopes…that way they don’t get discarded! 😂

Hi Colleen! Thank you. Hugs! 🤗

[@TwobitsTiger]

After watching a bunch of your vids, I'm curious: is there a rhyme or reason to where you put each blob of paint down before you brayer them out? The mix of colors always turn out so pretty

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

Great question! And thank you for watching my videos!
If I use a single color, I tend to put it in the middle. If I create an ombré, I put one color on the top and one on the bottom to blend them, and sometimes add a third color in the middle. If I use multiple colors that may not all blend well, I will put small dots of paint around the plate and use a smaller brayer to roll them out.
For ombré prints, I always use colors that can blend together and not complementary colors. I use complementary colors once one color has dried and apply the complementary color behind it. For example, blue and orange mixed together would make a brown color, so I would put orange on one layer, let it dry and use blue on the next layer.
I hope that helps answer your question! Thanks again for your comments and feedback! 🤗❤️

@@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana sweet! Thank you!

[@AtelierOwlfeather]

What a great idea! They are absolutely beautiful. 🥰 Apologies if I missed it but are you scanning the prints and print them on a different paper before turning them into cards? The surface looks incredibly smooth. Mine always have a slightly textured surface when pulling them off the gel plate.

[@AtelierOwlfeather]

Do you scan them before turning them into cards or are you using the original??? Thank you❤

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

Great question. I did scan the prints but I used the print that I Gelli printed to make the envelopes. The pearl powders leave a really smooth shiny surface! The scan does not capture the shine that you get from the original print. I hope that helps.

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

@AtelierOwlfeather I am using the original.

[@AtelierOwlfeather]

Makes perfect sense, especially with the pearl powder. I guess I am just piling on a bit too much paint to end up with a rougher surface.
Looking forward to your next video❤

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

@AtelierOwlfeather thanks so much! 💕
