Yesterday I was playing with my Gelli plate. The background of today's card is a multilayered print. At that point the plate was crusty with dried remnants of several previous colors, yellow, red, blue and even black. Usually I put down white or tan to catch all the crusty bits because they will show well that way, but now I was feeling bold and colorful and put down a magenta. Even did a quick a texture with some bubble wrap. Here's some of that yummy crustiness!
I chose the most evenly colored piece for my background which incorporates bits of all the previous colors. Then I added some plain black and white stamped seed pods that I thought would go well with the bubble wrap texture, and some black die cuts and a sentiment. I painted my black matting as I didn't have one on hand, but I think it needed black that would corral all the colors back together.
And my Happy Birthday card was ready.
