Gelli Plate Addiction

At some point in my travels of bargain sale hunting I came across a pack of black, blank note cards and envelopes. A dollar for ten envelopes and these which folded out.

The paper is sort of grainy and a bit like light weight card stock. I got out my gelli plate and played. These are some of what I came up with.

Note my recent hand carved stamp in the upper right corner of the first one.

Can you tell how I made these? I did not use one color at a time. I used several colors placed randomly on the plate and then "brayered" each spot how I wanted it to spread. It took several times to place the paper where I wanted it to be on the plate. I thought the results were amazingly pretty, especially on this black paper. I think it is possible to use the folded paper without an envelope. Just write or art on the inside and tape it up with washi tape or a sticker or something. I shall see. Tomorrow I will show you my results with envelopes and the gelli plate. I think I need to get out of my pajamas and get out for some air.
