Artist Trading Card "Find the Beautiful"

I love making Gelli Prints, but I have a really hard time using the prints on projects. I end up with stacks and stacks just sitting there. So today, I challenged myself to actually use the Gelli prints I made.
 
I used the lighter color print for background. All I had to add was some darker colored stenciling and it was done!
 
My Instgram friend Debbie (@debbiekenn) suggested using the prints to make embellishments. Stamping on them like I did here, making flowers, or paper piecing. That got my mind racing with ideas!
 
I also like to only make a few prints at a time. This way, they don't stack up and become overwhelming.
 
How do you use your Gelli Prints?

"Create Joy" || Mini Junk Journal

I have the first page in my mini junk journal to share today! It is on ledger paper which I made sure to cover with clear gesso so the paper would hold up. it is a very Dina Wakley-esque page, with a splot of Dylusions Ink and some magenta paint. It came together very quickly, which is exactly what I wanted for this 'art everyday' venture. To see exactly how I made it, you can watch the process video at the end of this post. There is also a complete supply list with links to everything I used on this page.
