Trick or Treat? with Altered Pages and Royal Langnickel

Whenever I pull prints with my Gelli Plate, I like to make LOTS of extra prints for two reason:
1.  It's just fun.
2.  You never know when you'll want a printy background.

These were made from prints pulled using acrylic paints, on deli wrap paper, gel medium-ed to a textured cardstock substrate:

 Perfect colors for some fall fun?


Finish off the edges with some crayon and inks

Altered Pages is partnering this month with Royal Langnickel, makers of many art supplies, including acrylic and watercolor paints.
Thank you for stopping by, and a Happy Thursday to you!

  1. Trisha, these are really beautiful ... and I'm kinda surprised because usually I don't care for 'cute' vintage images on modern surface technique backgrounds. But, you've really found the key to making it work. Lovely cards, thanks for sharing.

    I can't play gelli plate - too messy for me LOL

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
