This card is for the WT825 Challenge. Check it out Here which I am hosting today.
The BG panel was a piece of CS that I had used to roll my brayer off onto. I then sponged it with some TH inks. I had also placed one of my paper die cuts onto the gelli print to give the print more effect.
As the challenge is to use bells or circles or rings, I chose a W&W stamp set that I had hardly used and was one of my first stamp sets 3 years ago. I decided to make a flower...a circle/ring flower stamping it in Gold EP as well as the stars.
The panel looked lost on its own so I stamped a circle border around the edges.
This card is to celebrate a new start in 2021.
TFL. I hope that you join us on Ways To Use It.
Happy New Year. May it be a healthy and better one around the world.

Jayne a great BG that started off as just scrap, the colours are great together I like the circles and the texture on the centre one, makes it stand out. It’s really lovely

I see we had the same idea!! using the brayer-off print, I think that gives something special to a background, and I love your mixed media style on this one

I can see that your stint in DD is stimulating your ideas, you made three cards! All are excellent and so Jaynie. I really like this one with all the circles and rings. Wonderful colors, super mixed media.

I always wish I had more circle sentiments, I think they're always a fun feature. The embossing looks great on your brayered-off background. Mine never look worth keeping! And I really like the added circle borders.

What a beautiful brayered background for your card, Jayne! Love the texture, the colors and the circle sentiment. The border around the sentiment has a Celtic look to it!

Oh my goodness what an amazing piece of brayered paper Jayne! I need to keep one of those near by as I always seem to have something on my brayer that needs rubbed off from using it.
