I'm enjoying working with square cards and here is another. Firstly I painted a background panel with metallic watercolour paints in pink and orange, but it looked a bit wishywashy (it did leave shimmer though), so I got out the Gelli plate and did some DI inking with a stencil on top. The diecut daisies are placed on a hot pink tag panel with punched corners because the white daisies got a bit lost in the background. The sentiment is typed on the computer and stacked. Inky dotty doodles made with black pen and silver pen to give some contrast as it still looked a bit, well, bland. The good thing about using stencils with the Gelli plate is I get a couple of decent prints out of it for another project. At the moment I'm liking the bigger borders too.
