This is for Lydia's fun MIX challenge - Enter the MartIX.
Normally I am a law abiding citizen when it comes to challenges, however I started to hyperventilate when I realised that I could not have sequins and silver ribbon. Armed with tweezers and a sharp pin, I tried to remove the sequins (they are under the leaves). Only 3 or 4 sequins remain, so I am hoping this still qualifies.
I made the background by wrapping my gelli plate in cling wrap. Two reasons for this, it adds the feeling of texture and also stops Dylusions ink spray from staining the gelli plate.
Column 1. Dylusions Inks and Izink (watercolour and acrylic mediums).
2. Blue
3. Aqua
4. Leaves
5. Silver ribbon
This is for my 97 year old neighbour - her favourite colours are blue and aqua.
Thank you for looking.

GORGEOUS, Susie. Personally, I wouldn't have minded a sequin or three, but you get a gold star for following rules. : ) Your Christmas card with the dimension wreath is spectacular....but then, you don't know how to do "ordinary" !!~

I don't see any sequins- And that background is spectacular, Susie! It's perfect for the white wreath. I absolutely love how you have formed wreaths and tree with that punch! LOVE those colors, so deep and rich!

Ah beautiful Susie! Did you spill again? haha!! just kidding, this is gorgeous! I'm not sure why sequins would disqualify you? I don't think there are any challenge nazis around! All you have to do is say, "move along, these are not the sequins you're looking for" and "may the force be with you"! OMGosh, I'm losing it! Anyway,
This is just gorgeous! Love your beautiful wreath and the gorgeous bg you made!

I love this! That gorgeous white wreath absolutely pops against the fantastic background you created. The colors are fabulous, and the silver bow looks perfect!
