I made a couple of cards using my Gelli plate papers (original post is
here). I didn't want to lose some of the lovely detail on the papers, so made the focal point small compared to the rest of the card. The papers were made with my gelli plate and Chocolate Baroque sunny sunflowers. I added a bit of dried Marigold DI as well. The Hero Arts butterfly was coloured with promarkers before adding stickles and then stuck to the card with pinfair glue gel, leaving the wings proud of the card. This one winged it's way to
Paula who won my blog candy. I then made another very similar.
The 'With love' (chocolate baroque) at the top and some of the small text (inkylicious) was stamped in versamark and brushed over with blonde moments pearl pigments in gold. Shame you can't see the shimmer in the photo. This went to a friend for her Birthday.
I am itching to play with the rest now...then make some more papers too!

Utterly gorgeous! The butterfly is the perfect embellishment for the papers. Love it! x
So creative! You always come up with amazing backgrounds and inking! Ruth x
I can certainly vouch for the striking effect of the Gelli Plate background in the first one as it has winged itself onto my windowsill - the glittering of those wings is very vibrant & there's a lovely bluey green sheen which (consulting my colour wheel) bounces off the orange of the matting layer. A very striking combination in real life. The butterfly completes the card beautifully without detracting from the background, & to my eye, actually enhances.
Wonderful & with my thanks for brightening this week.

You created some of the best Gelli plate papers I've seen so far - stunning, Sally. Beautifully muted colours with flowers are perfect - just like my favourite designer papers! Lovely work x
