Gelli Prints With Shimmer Powder With Video Tutorial By Gerry

Hi lovely Rubber Dance friends, it's Gerry on the blog today and I have some fun Gel Printing Techniques with different Rubber Dance stamp sets and Nuvo Shimmer Powder.

In today's video I am going to work with Shimmer Powder on the gel plate. Shimmer Powder by itself will not give you pretty prints but there is a way that you can make gorgeous shimmer backgrounds with the powder on the Gel Plate. I show you some easy tricks and give tips, so be sure to watch today's video so you can see the full tutorial.

To make my prints I used two of the Ranger Ink - Gel Plate the sizes in this set are great for cardmaking. I also used the Ranger Ink Small Brayer and to mix the colours I used the Ranger Ink - Texture Paste - Transparent Gloss and American Crafts Silicon  Palette Knife which is another one of my favorite tools.

For the blue gel prints I used the Pick a Number stamp set together with
Nuvo Shimmer Powder Blue Blitz and Atlantis Burst 

I used the Tonic Studios - Sentiments Strip Die Set - Thanks to turn the prints into cards. On the pink card I used Craft Perfect Glitter Card Opulant Orchid to add behind the sentiment and for some extra sparkle.

For the green tinted prints I used I Love Leaves stamps with Nuvo Shimmer Powder Atlantis Burst, Green Parade and Falling Leaves 

I used the words from the Tim Holtz Christmas Circle Words to add a sentiment and turn the prints into cards.

For the pink, turquoise, green tinted prints I used Textured Flowers stamps with

 Nuvo - Shimmer Powder - Atlantis Burst with Green Parade 

 Lilac Waterfall, Cherry Bomb and Solar Flare 

Here I used the Tim Holtz Christmas Circle Words again but a bit different, another fun way to stretch your products.

I hope you liked this post and that you are inspired to dive into your craft space right now.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to keep on crafting!
