Thank you Jean to remind me this fun technique which gives more dimension and interest to a card.
I've started with the gelli print using acrylic paints, shades of red and orange, laid down some tiny leaves and made the print, the white spaces are from the leave, once this was dry I've die cut the square, I was on the phone with my daughter so couldn't use the rolling pin because I needed one hand to keep the phone, I've used a little hammer and didn't hammer very hard just a bit here and there, I've used the leaves and the dots EF, sponged spiced chai and used brown pigment and chalk ink to bring in more color, cut the images from some tags, used a die cut the treble clef and added a little corner and a bit of white gel pen accents here and there.

Really pretty, Anita - such a vibrant bg - I like the mixture of leaves with the swiss dots. I absolutely adore the way you placed your treble clef, then tucked in the vintage photos, just like I did many years ago around the edges of my mirrors.
