Wings of nature monoprints
Hi! guys, I’m back today with another set of monoprints. I am super excited to share these prints with you! I used the mono prints as backgrounds for butterflies and dragonflies! Such fun. I made these prints at the same time as the ones I shared earler this week. Actually, I used the same stamps for the printing process, Butterfly Basics. Then, I added some extras to the prints.
Butterfly Basics Stamp Set
This set is one of my all time favorites! As I mentioned, Sunday it was time to give it some love!!
- Each print has its own unique feel. Yet all three work so well together.
- The guilding and stamping on top of the prints give them an extra special feel
These prints were made very similarly to the original monoprints, used a Gelli Plate to create the prints.
- The paper is mixed media paper and is taped with painters tape to create a border
- The colors used are Pool Party, Crushed Curry, and Dapper Denim
- The process is a layering of Gelli prints to create a depth of color and texture.
- The Dragonfly is stamped in Dapper Denim. This is from the Dragonfly Dreams Stamp set
- This print is accented with stamping and guilding. After the print was completed, I added additional stamping to add even more texture.
- Even more texture was added with glue and guilding. (mixed metal leafing)
- The butterfly was guilded. I love using the multipurpose adhesive sheets for this process. It makes leafing so easy with die cuts
- The colors are Dapper Denim, Pool Party, and Crushed Curry
- This print is just two colors, Dapper Denim and Pool Party
- There are a few leaves peeping through from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set.
- The small dragonflies are from the Touches of Texture stamp set. They are stamped in Dapper Denim
- Little secret, I originally was not going to use this print. It was a slight bit crucked. Then I thought. Add some guilding. So, I did…this led to the two prints above. Witch I love!
- The two large dragonflies add a little extra special feel, especially with all the guilding in the background
