A card of caring: inside reads "....I am here for you." I used my Gelli Plate to create the bg with acrylics and gesso...wanted the design to reflect the "ups and downs" of life.

What a gorgeous print, Sallie! No clue what you did to achieve that pattern but it's fabulous especially with the city scape die cut! Love that sentiment!

Wonderful background, Sallie. It reminds me of bargello embroidery - or feathered frosting on cakes! When I was a little girl I used to love doing that, LOL.

Your background is amazing - I don't have a gelli plate but it looks like you can do fabulous things with it. And I love the dimension you achieved for the cityscape with the black offset layer behind.

Love your take on the challenge Sallie!!! You have created an amazing effect with your GP - they look like giant springs from here - made me think of the 'workings of life' steampunk style. LOVE it!

This is truely amazing. I can't believe you made the bkg - it is so incredible. It has a lot of "movement" and goes so well with the buildings. The momochromatic colors work so perfectly with the entire card. Just beautiful.
