My print was made using my Gel Plate. I put down some acrylic paint and brayer it up. I rolled over the stencil to transfer the paint onto my brayer then rolled it onto my Gel Plate. This is the print I got when I pulled it. I added the sentiment for an easy card.
thanks for looking.

I am a giant lover of leaves, and so I was immediately drawn in by your wonderful CAS card, oh my!!! I have never worked with the gel plates, but this amazing print makes me rethink... I can totally get lost in looking at the gorgeous greens and turquoise you have used, totally beautiful!!! This is truly wonderful art, and it should be hanging on someone's wall or at least in a place of honor.
I love the wonky stitches you have used, and matting your focal image with a darker shade of green just makes all of your greens pop, and the lighter and white areas on the leaves really add to the depth and the reality of these leaves. The white layer plus the white sentiment tag all add to the brightness of the greens. I can totally get lost in all of its very artistic beauty. Your art is truly wonderful, wonderful!!!
Favorited, to be honest, this artwork completely blows me away, Karen, and I so appreciate learning from you, someone with so much artistry and wonderful sense of color. WOW!!!
