For this week's Color and Ways to Use it challenges.
This is one of my first gel prints. I used the produce bag for the texture and embellishment. Stamped the fish and inked it lightly with grey, then green and red, added red and green perfect pearl for a sheen. Sponged blue ink across the bottom and stamped the sentiment. Layered panels to complete. TFL

My hubby would like this! In Sept he and our caught salmon in the waters of Elfin Cove, Alaska on a trip he won! Love your gelli print and the colors. Cool idea to use the produce bag for an embelli!

Carla, your salmon is wonderful! The gelli plate and net are great additions. If you have REAL salmon, don't call me........not a fish lover!

Very cool! Your gelli BG turned out perfectly for your salmon. Love the re-purposed netting. Love how your colored your fishy focal point and the sentiment is delightful. Wonderful card!

How cool the way you used the bag on the print and then as the most perfect embellishment. I have to say that I'm not a big fan of salmon, but I think this is a fabulous guy card.
