A card for yesterday's colors and today's sketch....love both these challenges. Yesterday I got out my gel plate and brayer and did a bunch of prints using weeds, leaves and acrylic paints. I need to belong to GPA-gel plate anonymous...I couldn't stop printing. I also had brought out my smaller plates and decided to try another technique: brayer a dye ink, then splatter with other colors and print. I printed on wc paper but I think you could also just do it on cardstock, since there isn't a ton of water. I also added some additional splatters. This worked for the sketch as well. It's a subtle card but I added some definition with some dots with different pens for the ABC17-U is for Uniball. I figured just using pens of some sort was adequate. Lots of dots defining the delicate flowers and leaves and the rectangle. This card couldn't have been simpler or more fun and I thank you for looking.

Jean I love your beautiful BG, beautiful soft colours and the stamped leaves look lovely, the dots really add a finishing touch to the card, I especially like how you’ve done them along the edges of the gel print.
