I love using my Gelli plate to stamp with because there is nothing that compares to the look of a Gelli print. It works perfectly for building a grungy, yet soft background.
I also used Americana premium paints to get great stenciled images for the flowers. And I threw in some crackle paint, because, well I love crackle paint!
When you mix a little gesso with the paint you get great tooth and texture to your painting.
Today’s piece was inspired by needing to catch my breath in an insane week. I know you know what I’m talking about, everyone has had one of those weeks. Life is just life sometimes.
I share my top 3 ways I’m able to calm the chaos and just breathe.
