This months COTM kit from www.cardmaking.net used two different gelly pens, vellum and fish peel off stickers (plus card for the base) and I love the effect. I have a small stash of gelly pens which I have only ever used to write my greetings with, but I am now looking at them in a whole new light. After placing the peel off sticker on the vellum, I then had to colour the shapes in with the gelly pens and then blend them if I wanted to. After cutting out the shape and then using mounting tape to mount them on the cardboard base, this is what I had achieved:
Then I placed some of the seaweed stickers on the card and coloured them in, however one of my boys had "borrowed" the green gelly pen, so I had to use one from my own stash which was quite a bit more flourescent than the one on the fish. I also coloured in the water bubbles coming from the fish.
I love the look of the fish seeming to float in front of the seaweed.
This kit has really opened my eyes to colouring in stickers and I am sure that I will be using the technique again really soon.
