Gelli Print Journal Page 5 - Heart On Fire


WOW -  I can't believe this is the last page in my Gelli® Print Journal. It has been so much fun, working on this project all month.   Each spread is dedicated to something that will help stimulate creativity .  I have linked up the other  posts below for you to reference. 


 Today's inspiration came from this quote  "Create What Sets Your Heart On Fire"  WOW - think about that for just a moment.  If we center our creativity around things that excite us, our work goes from craft to art!  Passion becomes evident in your work.  I really wanted to enforce this thought by making my "heart" look as if it is ON FIRE!  



I used the same paints as we have used all month, and stenciled the flames with the Diversions Die.   I love the effect this has over the heart.  I also created a "stamp" with a toilet tissue role to create the yellow hearts in my spread.   They look like flames lifting out of the smoke.  OH I'm SO LOVING THIS! 

Here is a quick video showing how this spread came together. 



Here are links to all the other spreads:





Our next Ustream is scheduled for July 6, 2015 at 8:30 pm.  I hope you can join us live. Stay tuned for details as we get closer.  Stay tuned in a few days I'll share with you a video of me decorating the cover.

  1. Tonya, you probably think I am some sort of stalker...LOL, but this final spread in this cute little "minnie" is just the stinking cutest!! I love your whole passion behind it and it so came out on this page and really the whole project! Thank you so much for your inspiration on this project. I have started to gather things to make my own little minnie! I can't remember where you said you got the muslin, but can I get it just like at the Walmart fabric department or is that something that is a specialty thing? Or if so, would there be a substitute? I have never really used fabric in a project before (I DON'T SEW! LOL) Thanks again and many blessings to you! :)

    1. NO I wouldn't consider you a stalker just a super loyal fan :). I'm so happy you have enjoyed this series and you are planning to create one yourself. I can't wait to see it! HONEY I don't sew either - only on paper (LOL). The muslin is common at all places where fabric is sold. It is usually found in the section that has the interfacing and canvas on a bolt (YES Walmart Fabric Centers have it). It is a super thin cotton type fabric. Also it is super inexpensive too! It comes in two varieties Bleached and Unbleached. I used bleached in this project.

  3. i love the flames... not sure i'm personally ready to cut up a hymnal but i LOVE the idea (and i think it would be a great journal for many of us) ... on the other hand as i think about it more i LOVE the idea of the old hymnal being re-used!
