#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 ‎@TheShelleyStudio
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

Your cards are so whimsical and sweet. Great color combination

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thank you so much!

[@elizabethtrumble]

Interesting technique. I love the effects you got with the marbling technique. I have never seen it before. I am fairly new to the Geli plate stuff. I really like the papers. Okay, those little baby chicks with the glasses? Way too stinkin' cute!!! Love how those cards turned out! 💜💜💜

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Hi beautiful 🩵

[@fionabarber784]

Cuteness overload.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️

[@MyDjturner]

He is such a cute chick. A '10' in fact, on the cuteness scale. lol.
I think what's missing is either an umbrella with some rain drops or one of your lovely drawn flowers...oversized compared to the chick.
I enjoyed

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

@@MyDjturner thank you 😊

[@Sunnysmiles14]

Loved the experiments. Your post card was cute too.

Thanks, hun 😘

[@Wyldwood-Dangles]

I love your humor and the postcards are darling. I'm going to try the zigzag on my big plate with my big brayer, I've done that technique on my 5 x 7. FYI, rolling the edges of the brayer at an angle makes cool lines on brayer offs before I remove the excess pant.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Thanks ♥️ Have fun playing 😊

[@patipitetti5124]

Interesting gelli ink play and your take on the #10❤️

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

[@ebsinger3250]

Great! I'm really enjoying this challenge even though ( no idea how) I missed the kickoff and the first week or so.. Will try to play since this really appeals to me, even whilst found ICAD and junque journal july. My favorites so far are the puff ball flowers and the spiral bingo card! Keep up the good work!

Lol, right? 💛

[@joannweber4393]

Sublimation tape may require heat.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

If I were using it as sublimation tape, yes. I'm using it to look like old yellowed tape.

[@jackielubeck]

Hi Darcy - what is cracking the edge???? It's really a nice challenge right? Hugs

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

It's done in order to separate the dried paint from the edge of the paper so the paper doesn't get ripped causing pieces stay attached to the plate.

[@DarcysMixedMedia]

Hugs back 🤗
