Gelli - Inspired by Mothers Challenge


Here is my piece for the May Gelli Arts challenge. You can enter the challenge on the Gelli Arts Facebook page. I used stencils, bubble wrap, embossed card, foam shapes and cotton tips to make the patterns in the prints. I then drew the pregnant mum and cut her out giving me a positive and a negative image - 2 designs for the price of one! I layered up the cutouts, some plain paper and more Gelli prints to give a drop shadow effect. A little graphite pencil defines her outline. "Mother" was stamped onto one side with rubber stamps.
