When I got back in to crafting last year I watched some demos and treated myself to a second hand gelliplate... when it arrived I just didn’t really know what to do with it so it sat in a drawer for quite some time.
Then I did an online Jane Davenport workshop and realised you could use far more than acrylic paint on them... in fact you can use pretty much anything on them including mica powders.
So I had a play, and added Jane Davenport Mineral eyes palette pastels to my plate through the lovely Paige Taylor Evans star stencil using a sponge (pounced on to get plenty of powder).
Then I brayered very light layers of acrylic paint.
The reveal is like magic, you never quite know what you will lift off, especially if you don’t clean it like me lol.
The really fab thing is the colour of the mica seems to intensify and the acrylic locks it in.
The image was hand drawn by myself and coloured using Jane Davenport colorsticks, then outlined with uniball pinliners
The stars are JD die cuts.
If you haven’t tried gelliplates I highly recommend getting one and giving it a try, its so much fun.
