Do you like plain paper or patterned paper for your projects? I would have answered this question with "plain", as I practically never buy patterned paper. Then I started my project and grabbed my favorite papers, made with gelli plate. I had to decide that they were not plain, not even those where I had used one color. The color creates texture and thus a pattern, and I also use old books as a substrate.
Summer flowers are so pretty, especially those unassuming field flowers. I picked poppy, chicory and a simple nameless flower and stamped them onto some gelli prints, then heat embossed them with a transparent embossing powder that gives the outline a nice shine.The background papers are from my snippets box.
