Edit Nov 1, 2022: I highlighted the part of the decorated envelope and added some more details to it

What are inkbox cards? The bigger sister of an ATC! :) I found out about these cards through a swap on Instagram hosted by sandy_creas. And now I'm hooked! I love the size!

The cards are 7,6 x 7,6 cm (3 x 3 inch) with rounded edges. Basically this is the size of the bottom of a big Tim Holz Distress Ink box. Hence the name.

Like for ATCs there are no rules for inkbox cards other than the given size with rounded edges. Every media is allowed: paint, cut, draw, doodle...

Theme is: gelli print

Use bits of a gelli print in your creation or use a full print for the background. You can add some other elements as well.

For the base use some cardstock or similar. No flimsy paper.

One card to one partner.

Send the inkbox card in a decorated envelope. Put some effort in decorating the envelope. Not just only a sticker or a single stripe of washi

Have fun!

Thank you!

I need to learn how to do a gelli print first and if I need specific materials?

The only specific thing you will need is a gelli plate. They come in different sizes. Check out Birgit Koopsen on youtube. (There are even recipes for making DIY plates, I have no experience making one). No need for special paper or paint. It works with printer paper and acrylic paints.
