#gelypostcardplay Day 23: Gelprinting without a plan

Welcome to day 23 in my video series for #GelyPostcardPlay hosted by @CeriGriffiths This fun "challenge" involves posting a 4 x 6" postcard a day that includes at least one element of gel printing and also includes a number to indicate the date the card is posted. I go over the parameters in my first video of this series but you can check out more comprehensive details by watching Ceri's video introducing the challenge: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGPPoJKNo9OniJosi=0vryqU5f_kvR3xts
For today's postcard I started with a left over piece from the postcard making session for card 19 and just went with the flow. Often I just like to play and experiment on the gel plate and I say to myself “what if” I try this or that. This is one of those session, I hope you will enjoy it.

Hi Yolande, this card is very cool😎 I don't think I would have the patience to go so many steps for 1 card but I applied you showing us how you achieved it. TFS 😊

@@devonrex4 that is so cool, I kinda do that when I doodle. I like to doodle on the gelli prints.

I have to admit I had my doubts along the way! It has turned out beautifully! Interesting watching your process. Thanks for sharing.xoxo

@@scrapbagstudios I had my doubts too but sometimes you just need to keep adding layers and details until you are happy. Tfw

That turned out to be a really fun, grungy card! I gotta tell you, once you pressed on that black ink "frame" I thought you were sunk. And, for a while, it seemed like everything you did just made it worse. But, you just kept at it and wound up with a great design, incredibly inspiring for another artist terrified of things going wrong. Thanks!

[@devonrex4]

Yep, never give up! 😂😂😂

[@debsmith7050]

Amazing! Playtime, practice, experience, experimentation... you just keep going - do you learn from others, take courses...? You keep my brain guessing. You keep me watching

[@devonrex4]

@@debsmith7050 Thanks Deb! Yes I learn from others, mostly here on KZbin. I try to mention my sources of inspiration. 💙

tbh I wasn't so sure when you added the red, but you kept going and pulled it all together. Well done!

[@devonrex4]

@@elizabethjehnzen I had my moments of doubt too but that is one of the things I love about mixed media - just keep adding layers until you’re happy 😃

[@barbra-chickenpotpiesociet5694]

loved the delish green..........you could have just taken the brayer and rolled green back and forth on the gel plate and I would have been happy . Another kewl vid Yolande

What a cool postcard Yolande! You took grunge to new heights. How are you liking the Sharpie creative paint pens? How do they compare to the Posca? I have the 12 pen sharpie set in my considering to purchase list on Amazon and would love your input.

[@devonrex4]

Thanks Lynne. I got the brush tip sharpie paint markers and I like that they don’t need to be primed and they seem very juicy. I don’t think they replace the small tipped poscas or the big tipped one but they are a nice inexpensive alternative. I hope they come out with more colors.
