Birthday Gelli Print Card

Hello everyone, I hope you are doing well.
Today I have a card to show you that I made from a
Gelli print that I made a while ago.
I used alcohol inks of several colors on my 
Gelli Plate and picked up this image.
I loved it, but didn't know what I would do with it.
My friend, Mary, told me she thought it looked like
balloons, I could see that.
So I made it into a birthday card and I love how 
it turned out.  Very abstract looking, I love the colors.
I had some scraps left so I cut one down and put a little
strip inside the card for a little extra something.
The recipient loved it.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Come again soon.
Until then,
see something special in what you make.

Abstract Card

Hello!
Something a little different today.
This is a birthday card that I made for my hubby.
I was looking through my stash of backgrounds for
something to use on his card and came across this piece.
I loved it so much that I couldn't stand to cut it into
pieces, so I used the whole thing.
I made it using alcohol inks on a glossy card stock 
along with some blending solution.
When the ink was mostly dry, I applied some gold
Deco-foil, which stuck to the areas that were still a little
wet and a little bit sticky.

I simply adhered the piece to a white card base,
wrote a message inside and called it done.

Here you can see some of the shiny gold areas where
the Deco-foil stuck.  It's really quite beautiful.

I chose to use the piece for a horizontal
card, but it could be used as a vertical also.
My hubby loved it and I told him I understand
that he doesn't know what to do with the cards
I make for him and I'll take this one off his hands
to hang in my craft room.
I may just have him frame it for me.

Thanks for popping in today.
I hope you'll come again soon and
that you have been inspired in some way today.
Until next time,
give something different a try!
