This is my card for the MIX48 challenge Basic Shapes - Make a project that has at least 1 square, 1 circle and 1 triangle and at least two types of mediums.
The focal is a piece of an 8.5 x 11 gelli print that I subsequently added various stamps, stencils, Goosebumps, etc. using a variety of different mediums.
After die cutting Umbrella Man with a square die, I overlaid a circle die and traced around it lightly with a black gel pen, then sponged Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges and matted with black cs. I chose the largest SB square die to cut the red-orange textured cs, cut it diagonally to get my triangle and also matted it with black cs. I stamped the triangle and kraft base with the IO CAC Scratches stamp using VersaMark and heat embossed with detail black ep. Black Soot sponging around the edges of the card front finished it off.
I wasn't too sure about this, but I think I've decided I like it..
As always, thanks for looking!

Wow, I love this! What wonderful graphics you created and love the contrasting mats! It may be time to get a gelli plate after seeing your awesome creations!
Well, if you're not too sure, I would be more than happy to take it off your hands! I absolutely love it!
It's so artistically different and creative, it deserves to be framed!
The more I look at it, the more I love it. Will be happy to PM you my address...
