I have a couple cards made with Just for Fun’s Cool Drink stamp and with a background made with a gel press and stamps.
I am pretty new to the gel press (or gelli plate) but I found this stamping technique easy. The backgrounds not only work for patterned paper, but since you are printing them with paint, they also have a nice texture.
First the background. I brayered craft paint onto my gelli plate, and then I used the citrus slice stamp to pick up the paint. I stamped the paint off onto another piece of paper, and then repeated until I had filled the gel press with this negative image. Then I placed a piece of cardstock over the gelli plate and rubbed all over to transfer the paint.
Then I stamped and colored the Cool Drink stamp. I used Wink of Stella to add glitter over the glass. The two sentiments I used are A Vacation Is... and Happy Birthday from Sentiments 1 Unmounted Sheet.
Now I am in the mood for some lemonade, how about you?

Lemonade it is....x I have still to try the Gelli plate but it's on my list x. Loving the colours on both of your cards and the designs are fabulous. Particularly like the sentiment on the vacation card x.
I just love these cards! great backgrounds too.
Fabulous colours and design. Love the geli press background.
Oh this is such a cool technique.....I've thought of trying it before, but never have. Your refreshingly beautiful cards have inspired me to put it close to the top of my "to-try" list.

Truly stunning cards!! I played with my Gelli plate a couple of times and never thought to use the stamp to pick up ink. Brilliant idea. Terrific colour scheme.
This is a cool background technique. Love that sentiment!
