I went with the ATC suggestion, as it let me use up this not very successful AI gel print. Polly makes them look so beautiful, I tried 3 and this was the only one worth keeping. With paint and alcohol inks, I'm already into the Mixed Media, but the foreground is gelatos, some texture paste and I'm guessing either watercolour crayon or luster rub-ons for the gold - it's a leftover from something else. The little leaves and puffin and star all came out of the scrap box on my desk. The main part is edged with a silver glitter pen, and the foreground part with Stickles, because the Gelatos were so slick that they just acted as a resist and the glitter pen didn't go on at all.
With the wintery background colours I may make this up into a non traditional Christmas card.

I love the wonderful bg for this sweet puffin, Sabrina, the hill, the leaves, the colouring all combine beautifully on this ATC! Love the rounded silvery edges!

Gee whiz, every time I think I'm doing better at commenting, I find out that I'm not...how did you all ever manage when there were many more people creating regularly!? Anyway, this is such a cute ATC, background is perfect for your puffin. Do you have puffins in Ireland, on the ocean? I could look that up, couldn't I? Cool birds. I hope you try ai on gel plate again.
