#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 each day. 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.

[@elizabethtrumble]

I love the little Hares. They are cute! I especially like the one that was on the table that was stretching with it's butt up in the air, LOL I guess I'm a child. Haha. I love your sketchy flowers too! I am saving up to buy some of your stamps from PM artist studio. You have inspired me to mark make today, so I got out my watercolors, LOL Great cards today! I think the pastelness (is that a word) of the watercolors really goes well with the little Hares! 💜💜💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks! I agree with the hares going well with the colors.

I love that doodle flower, it’s going to be jn my shopping basket.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

I'm glad you like it. I wasn't sure if it would be too messy for you. I was worried you might not like it, but I did so I submitted it, but I made Mariah choose which is why I got two stamps for July instead of one. I guess she couldn't choose. 😊

Darcy, I’m here for it all! Just received my very first gel plate and all of a sudden I’m frozen on where to start..a little panicked😅

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

First, you just want to practice putting paint on the plate and pulling it. Get a feel for the process. I'll try to remember to talk about beginning steps for the gelplate on the livestream on Creating with Jovi in a bit.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks, Leigh! 🩵

[@herghostcreations]

I love these!!! I am just getting into mixed media so I'm trying to keep to ephemera I can make but I have magazine cutouts that would be perfect focal images like these bunnies... thinky thoughts! (This also gives me another perspective on 12x12 paper packs versus looking at them from a cardmaking standpoint only). I am very much an ADHD crafter--idk if you feel like you are, but I feel SO SEEN when I watch your videos 😂😂😂 cheers to us.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much! I'm not diagnosed, but I, at the very least have all the symptoms of executive function disorder (or as my autistic son says executive disfunction because why use three words when two work). I'm glad you feel seen. 😊

@@DarcysMixedMedia See I do listen

[@CeriGriffiths]

Darcy your backgrounds don’t have to have gel print on them but you could just have a strip or label done on the gel plates.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

That one with the toes covered technically had some digital gel print element. I forgot about that in the moment.
