Night On The Town

The other day I showed a pic of a 2nd pull of a Gelli print that was pretty cool on its own.  However, it kept speaking to me...shouting actually...that I needed to do something with it.  As I stared at the print all I could think of was night time - trees...lights of the city shining through...the last of the blue sky fading...

So, I used the Cityscape stencil and some black acrylic to add the city...it needed some lights on in the windows so once it dried I offset the stencil just slightly and added some white on top.  Then I ripped some strips of paper from a dictionary and adhered them to the edges of the page.

The other night I had stamped some Dian Reavely Couture Collection stamps onto some of my Gelli prints and cut them out.  I layed this on top and glued it down.  I did a wash of white over the dictionary pages...then added some Payne's Gray as a frame.  Liking it at this point....but it needed something....so a splatter some teal ink over the top left.

I'm not yet sure it is completely finished...but I'm liking it so far.

The starting point...
