Marsha Valk Marks 100th Gelli Arts Tutorial with Wipe-Away Card Printing Technique
Artist Marsha Valk has published her 100th instructional post on the Gelli Arts® Blog, featuring a gel printing method for creating decorative cards. The tutorial demonstrates how to use wet wipes or damp cloths to remove paint from a Gelli® plate, producing patterns that reveal the paper's white surface. This approach is described as accessible for all skill levels and suitable for holiday gift-making. A promotional offer from December 3 to December 15 provides a free Hellebore stencil designed by Valk with the purchase of a Gelli Arts® Journal Kit. The article includes practical advice, such as using a disposable glove finger to prevent paint stains and employing scrap paper to protect card backs. It also addresses technical adjustments, like adding slow-drying medium if paint dries too quickly. The piece concludes with a material list and links to Valk's and Gelli Arts' social media profiles.
