'I meant to behave' by Elisa Ablett

Hi Scrap Matrix fans!

Elisa here from the design team with my second inspiration for the month based on the February 'Limited Supplies' challenge.

I created a fun and bright Art Journal Page using gel plates and an image transfer.

Check out the challenge album here in the Scrap Matrix Shares Group.

5. Dylusions Paint - Vibrant Turquoise

all supplies are available from the Scrap Matrix shop 

Other products used include; Tim Holtz Ideology Small Talk Snarky stickers, Posca Paint Pens, Gel Plate, Gel Medium, White Gel Pen, Liquid Paper Pen, Circle Template

I love using my gel plate and have been experimenting with 'image transfers' using gel medium along with my gelli plate prints. 

I wanted to see how far my limited supplies could take me using just my gel plate and the creating around the photo transfer of Lucille Ball. 

I love this photo of Lucille, a great comedienne so I had it printed on laser paper which is essential to the gel medium image transfer technique.

Let's take a closer look at the page.

I used a small petite gel plate, the paint and the stencil to create circle prints on my page around the photo transfer. I then used paint pens and gel pens to trace and make marks in each of the circles.

 Use the word stamp to stamp around the photo transfer with a Staz on Ink pad, and out line the photo transfer with colourful marks.

Add your quote and outline with gel pen. Using a small piece of cardboard stamp Vibrant Turquoise paint in lines around your page.

Love the photo transfer on the page, I think i will be doing this more often and perhaps even try with magazine images etc.

Thank you for stopping by the blog today, i hope you have been inspired to try limiting your supplies and perhaps even an image transfer on your art journal page.

Hugs
