Gelli Arts Handmade Card Kit Tutorial for Impressionist Lily Ponds
Mary Beggs Bosley demonstrates how to create mini impressionist lily pond notecards using the Gelli Arts Handmade Card Kit. The process involves cutting lily pad masks from heavyweight paper, applying green, yellow, and white acrylic paint to the gel plate, and making a first print. A second layer of blues, white, and lavender is added and lightly blended. Lily pad masks are placed on the wet paint for a second print. After drying, details such as lines, dots, and lilies are added with paint pens, chalk pastels, or acrylic paint. The finished prints can be glued to folded blank cards and presented as a Mother's Day gift. The tutorial includes a YouTube video and lists required materials: Gelli Arts Handmade Card Kit, acrylic paints, blank cards, heavyweight paper, and optional ribbon or cellophane bags.
