Courage using my Gelli plate

A while ago I took part in the Gelliplate challenge organised by Birgit Koopsen.
I learnt so much but this method is one of my favourites, it doesn't always work and is very dependant on the paper and image you choose!
I have used my Gelliplate to make a magazine transfer image using the method here on Birgit's blog.
I started with this image...
 ...brayered some ink onto my small plate and pressed the image on top - it is important to only use a thin layer of paint
...so far, so good
I wanted it to be in two colours so added pink.
 A bit of a blurred image as I was rushing before the paint dried
I pressed on the paper I was using and.....
...hurray...it worked(I did have a couple of fails using other images that I won't show you - tee hee!!)
I made a journal page to celebrate!
I used some Brushos and spritzed then added some Infusions
 Next I stamped some Carabelle Studio background stamps randomly over the page and stuck down the image
I stamped the Visible Image quote onto a piece of leftover card and stuck it on! I added some spatters in purple and pink and drew a wiggly outline around image and quote!

 This is of course my latest page for Art For Arts Sake, still a few days left, at Art Journal Journey.

 Thanks for looking, Chrisx

    whilst I wasn't following the challenge ( my gelli plate is still in it's packing) I did see the transfer technique - well done, it looks fabulous.

    What a fab transfer technique - I love the way the transfer turned out! Great pics of the process, too. Glad I'm not the only one who has several failures first, though ;-)

    Oh wow Chris that looks so very good, your gelli print is perfect. A wonderful creation you made. I like it much.
    My first try to print with the Gelli Plate didn't work because it was to hot in our rooms so that the color dried to fast.
    Your result however looks perfect.
    Dear Greetings

    Chris this is a cracking transfer image, as you rightly said it can be a very hit and miss process but you must be so proud of this one and i'm sure this hit makes up for those misses. Fabulous page.
    Thank you very much for the comment you left on my Vincent piece, I am humbled to think you wish to add me to your side bar Thank YOU.
    Wish I had had mire time to join in more this month as the theme is a fabulous one.. Maybe next month I will get more time to play.
    Wishing you a fabulous Sunday Hugs Tracey xx

    I've made a lot of image transfers, but never put paint behind them. This turned out unbelievable, Chris. I was so impressed with the outcome. It's a fabulous technique for your theme at Art Journal Journey. Really, lovely outcome.

    Fabulous page Chris, it's a technique I haven't tried, I'm so glad you shared the process and let us know you've had some failures. I'll remember that when I make my mess!
