I think Karen likes to exercise and she wants to remind us to "stretch"....stretching is certainly the key word for today's challenge!! When I saw the colors last night I said..what's that green doing in there?? Well I somehow found a spot for it on my card..I'm sure Picasso wouldn't have had a problem with that (unless it was during his blue period). I made the bg with my gelli plate....it can be messy getting it out and I usually do a bunch of prints and spend about an hour having fun with that..but I wanted to do a bg for this card as I had just the right colors of acrylic paint. So I got it out and made a mess early this morning! Anyway here it is...thanks Karen for getting me to s-t-r-e-t-c-h....

You weren't the only one stretching this AM, Polly! : ) Love the "made for challenge" Gelli print...FABULOUS. Your creations with it are some of the best. Picasso(out of his Blue Period) would be proud of you with that "snap" of vibrant green. GREAT card for the challenge....and you met it head on. : )

I agree with you Polly - it was a stretch. I'm not sure how I came upon my card without more difficulty. I love your creativity. That sentiment is really great. I love the photo of the children. I have got to try this gelli plate thing - it is yielding some very neat results!! :>)

Polly your gelli plate worked great with this. I too wondered how to put in the green, that was the real challenge part. I like what you have done with the colors.
