For F4A297: Fall Colors and Holly's HYCCT1524: Thanks Bunches...
I have a bunch of strips on my card that I cut from a Gelli print that I made at Lydia's UNWIND Retreat a couple of weekends ago. We were to choose a print we either didn't like or one that had lots of patterns that we did (Lydia's card design!). I just kept messing with this one, and it turned into a mess. Until we made this card. Then I loved the bold ferns in the foreground and the fall colors in the back! That Lydia is so smart! I had never done Gelli printing before, and it's my new favorite thing! Because you can't mess it up! Unless you take paper stencils instead of plastic (that would be me.... but I didn't know they were paper!).
Come play along in the Hope You Can Cling To Challenge forum!
Anyway, thanks for taking a peek!

ooh, this is really cool! Love the silvers of fall coming through and what a smart idea!! I never thought of cutting up one of my "messed up" bgs to do a card like this! Amazing and yes, that Lydia is SO smart! I would SO love to go to one of her retreats!!! Maybe someday I can get the funds and the time at the same time, heehee!

Lovely design! I think it is marvellous to have strips but still be able to discern the fern pattern in them. Perfect seasonal colours and I like your vertical sentiment!
