Graduate Gilli

Hi Everyone!  It’s Wini, from LooneyBugDesigns, with your Monochromatic Inspiration project for today!  I can’t wait to see what you create – be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page to enter your project  into our challenge for your chance to win a great Gilli Goodie.

I used Graduate Gilli today.  I started with a piece of Glossy Paper and used my Paisley Impressabillities to create the background texture.  Then I added Alcohol Ink in Black and Silver Mixative to color the paper.  I added some black lace and some black I-Rock faux brads.  Some Black Recollections Mulberry Mini Roses (my favorite roses of all time) to anchor the card and add some more texture.  My scalloped oval is cut from silver foil and I used dimensionals to give it some added depth.

Gilli is colored with my Copics.  I sometimes struggle with getting enough dimension when I color with blacks – but I keep practicing.  I added some silver pen to accent some of the folds in the graduation gown.

I can’t wait to see what you come up with for our Monochromatic Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by today!  And don’t forget, if you would like to order some of your own Gilli stamps – just send an email to anary@anary.com and let her know what you are interested in!
