I make a lot of prints using my Gel Press. Sometimes I even love them. ha! But I always save them, whether or not I think they're pretty or usable. Today I used one that had pretty colors, but a mess of a design to take center stage. But, as you can see, it looks awesome with these leaf dies by Tim Holtz!
I wish I had taken a photo of the print before I adhered it to the die panel. It was a combination of primary colors (red, blue, yellow) that made some lovely secondary colors! I love how it looks behind those gorgeous leaves. I stamped a retired splatter stamp from Stampin' Up! all over the front in VersaFine Sepia. I added a sentiment with one of the All Things Happy Sentiment Strips from SSS. I had a piece of the print left, and I added it down the left side of the main panel. I wrapped my card base with Krenik metallic gold thread, and adhered the card front to the base.
Thanks for looking! Happy Fall!

This is just lovely! What a great idea; I don't know how many watercolor background "mistakes" I've thrown in the trash could have been used in a similar manner. ;) thanks for sharing!
