For my Deco Arts post today, I wanted to play around with some different kinds of paints on my Gelli Plate, and I now have a new love, its the Satin Enamel paint and it is a hard, durable paint that flows and levels out to a smooth finish. It is awesome and I LOVE it, you don't have to use much at all, a little bit goes a long way on the gelli.
I also played around with the Black Frost paint which is a glass paint. Keeping in mind that it is not intended to be used on a Gelli Plate, it did pretty well, and it cleaned off the gelli plate with a little elbow grease, I probably won't use it on the gelli again, but in a pinch it worked out fine. I used it on the chipboard raven too, so you can see the intensity color difference when it is used alone or layered on the gelli.
You can see where I added the 3D Gloss enamel circles by adding the paint to the dot stencil, giving a nice layered and completely translucent effect.
There you have it, different types of paints from the norm being used.
A glass paint and a wood paint, both worked with different degrees of success.
So, overall, a mix of different paints were used other than the standard acrylic paints, with one paint standing out in a big way, which was the Satin Enamel.
I loved it so much I have used it on several other projects:
The mixed media wall plate covers and the frame around my bathroom mirror
( Will be giving my lower cabinet the same treatment as the mirror frame. )

Since my gelli is still in the box I really enjoyed reading how you created this nifty art piece. Thanks for the info on the paints that worked well, the ones that didn't! Your experimenting will save some boo-boo's on my part (hopefully!) I keep saying one of these days...then other stuff gets in the way. This was a delightful post...to read & something for the eyes to feast upon with your spooky art. TFS & Hugs
Yes a lovely finish I have been a bit scared to use anything other than acrylics on my gelli plate but maybe I will try some others. Love the card
