Sympathy Cat card with a Gelli Plate background


The cat stamp on this card is by Newton’s Nook. I love the silhouettes in this stamp set. The black die cut is by Spellbinders. The outside frame is a piece of cereal board I cut out with my Cricut. 

I created the background playing with my Gelli Plate…so I thought. Here’s the backstory, I have unmounted red rubber stamps from Purple Onion Designs and I wanted to use them in my MISTI. So I bought a “Clear Mount Stamp” from Purple Onion Designs. It stands in place of the foam that is normally on the back of red rubber stamps.

Well, I misplaced my Gelli Plate and while looking for it I came across the said Clear Mount Stamp. It looks similar to the Gelli Plate so I grabbed it and went to a class by Alison Heikkila. 

On this background, I used two colors and two types of paint and then waited too long to pull the print. It created a thick, messy, textured panel and what goes better with a messy background, a sharp silhouette image.
