gelli play and a spot of stamp carving



I finally cracked open my gelli plate!  I'd ummed and ahhed about buying one, then decided I would whilst at Happy Stampers in May - it's been in the packet up until this week! 



I love how quick and easy it is to use (once you finally have a brayer to hand!)... and the different texture the paint produces on the paper.  I pasted some of the paper in my little A5 moleskine journal then set to carving a poppy seed stamp.


I'm not sure what I used, something in my stamp carving stash, but I didn't like it!  I much prefer carving an eraser.
