Gelli Background


After raving about my new Gelli Arts plate when I first got it, I couldn't let this week's Simon Says Wednesday challenge pass without entering a card that used a Gelli background.  This is probably my all time favourite (so far!!) of all the backgrounds I've made.  I love the earthy shades and the layers of lace and the hemp ribbon across the centre.  Lace seems to give the best patterns.

    Yes it is darling! I love the background, I think I may be investing in a Gelli plate next year. IThe torn paper dress is fabulous - it reminds me of a skirt I bought in Thailand.

    The pattern you created on your background is gorgeous, Shirley! I really love all the texture and dimension it added to this card! I love the pretty dress, too!

    Another fab pair of tags from your Advent Village, too...I'm so impressed!

    Fabulous background! Gorgeous texture!
    I have had a Gelli plate for almost a year and have never used it! I'm afraid of it!

    What a stunning break from Ccs, Shirley! I have been knee-deep in mine, so I had some enjoyable catching up to do with you. You really can rock everything in terms of card styles. It's just marvelous!! Hugs, Darnell
