I had a good time with this and accomplished four challenges to boot.
This card covers Thursday's WT (round your corners), the last two MIX challenges (leaves on a gel plate and dry brushing) and today's IC. What cool boards! Of course, I went the obvious route for me: https://www.pinterest.com/chairishco/boards/
I loved all the green stuff, no one thing inspired me. I used three green acrylic paints, brayered them on the gel plate, trying to keep them separate, placed my leaves vein side down, printed, lifted the paper just enough to remove the leaves, reprinted. Worked like a charm! I used two colors of green cardstock, dry brushed some metallic oyster paint around the edges, stamped the sentiment with the London fog ink, which is sort of a gray green, rounded the corners and added a few embellishments. I'll do this gel printing again, I love it. Maybe that's why I like green...I love leaves! No idea what the leaves are, my gardens are full of trees and weeds, thanks to my landlord. Grrrrrr.

Fabulous, Jean! You know who else loves green? ME!! My fave color (all shades) since forever. Your print looks wonderful & should be hanging on the wall.

What a beautiful background! You achieved a gorgeous print! There is nothing quite so pleasing as stepping out my door or taking a drive on a spring day and seeing all the green around me! Fabulous card.
