One of the Dutch webshops had a special offer I couldn't resist ... so now I have a gelli plate. Finally! I really like to be challenged so I deciced to make at least one background I could use for the challenge on Stamping Sensations. The theme is in the form of mood boards. From this mood board I picked Chinese lady in kimono, rose (the pink in the background) and garnet/red.
The background is made with my gelli plate and acrylic paint, I used a stencil for the rose. The lady in kimono is a stamp from De Stempelwinkel (Long Black Hair, nr. Q8901NS). I stamped her on both the background and a separate white paper with versamagic (black). I colourized the print on the paper with my polychromos pencils, and acrylic paint (gold). I cut it out, and left the collar and cuffs out (so these parts are the background showing through). Glued it on the background. I added golden stripes on the collar and cuffs and covered them with a transparant glossy layer, which is actually ... glue! Yeah, really. I will try to make a picture of the glossy layer, I tried yesterday but it was hardly visible on the pics I took.
I glued the card on metallic paper (gold), and on deep red card stock. I stamped the border with Brilliance galaxy gold, the stamp is a PaperArtsy (Eclectica by Lin, ELB23).
