Leafy Goodness!

Hi Friends

I've made an autumnal card so that I could join in with the current Allsorts' Challenge where the theme is "Colours of Autumn" - pretty sure my leaves will count for that! 

An A6-sized card

The gel print and the die-cut leaves from it!

I used my fingers to smear red, green, yellow and orange acrylic paint all over my gelli plate and ran the brayer over the wet paint very lightly a couple of times. I used one of my larger snippets of thin white card to take the print. Once the print was dry, I die-cut it with a leafy set of dies that is my new favourite! The swirly stamp is a very old SU one, and the sentiment is from an Aall & Create set.

  2. Wonderful to see just how a CAS card came out of that really messy bit of play with acrylic paints. Envious of the super leaf dies 😉

  7. Absolutely stunning card Sarn! So nice to see how you made it using a Gelli plate and your fingers - mucky pup! And the end result is totally one of my favourite ever cards, perfect Autumn leaves and the swirl and sentiment go perfectly - you would get a Gold Star in the Playground!

    Hugs

  8. Wow!! Simply AMAZING! Just love how the curly swirl with the dots matches your wonderful gelli printed leaves! You have golden fingers(in addition to red, green, yellow and orange :D LOL)! A perfect CAS, it's surely one on my most favourite from your last ones!
    Waiting to see what you will make with the leftover of your fabulous gelli print!! :)
