Sin City Stamps and Gelli Plates Backgrounds

Hello everyone, and welcome back for more Halloween fun!  I just love October because I love making anything related to Halloween.  I've always been a fan of spooky movies, and this genre is just my thing!  


Today's project is a very colorful and a bit creepy card that I made using my Gelli Arts printing plate for a background, and a few of my favorite Sin City Stamps rubber sets.
While playing around with my gelli plate, I also made this same or similar background on a different color card stock to see what the difference would be.  Then I couldn't help myself.  I had to turn it into a  tag, or a card to slip into a pocket, or even used as a focal point on a card.  

I have prepared a bit of a tutorial for you using Snapguide.  All you have to do is click START THE GUIDE for complete instructions.

Check out How to Use a Gelli Printing Plate for Card Making by Barbara Rankin on Snapguide.

Sin City Stamps:  Urban Grunge stamp plate; Clockworks Inspired by Terri Sproul stamp plate; Metal Madness stamp plate; Entangled stencil; Honeycomb chipboard pieces

Other:  5" x 7" pre-folded kraft card; Card stock:  Orchid, black, kraft
MME Haunted 12x12 paper pad
Ink Pads:  Versamark, white pigment, dark brown chalk ink,

  1. Your creepy card is fabulous Barbara, it can never be too creepy at this time of year. I am not a lover of spiders but they look great on your card! I don't have a Gelli plate but I am off to have a look at your project.
