Filled with Flowers

Good Morning and Welcome!

At the weekend I got out some old pieces of gelli plate print which I'm trying to use up before making more.

I last used this print over a year ago for paper piecing here on  my Woodware sneakers.

I was able to make one other similar card similar to this with the rest of the print.

The sentiment is from a Woodware set and the swirls and leaves were scraps that I had  in a box which I cut up to fit.  I used Papermania dew drops for the centres of the flowers.

I would like to join in at:
Allsorts Challenge #42 Flower Power

613 Avenue Create Challenge Blog #198

I'm off up to my cabin now as I have to make a parchment card for a friend's special birthday.  That should keep me out of mischief for a couple of days!

A lovely bright card and well done for using up your geli prints - can't remember when I last used my plate, how bad is that? So many ideas to try, so little time!!

Hi Barb,
what a brilliant card and such a very super design also.
Beautiful flowers created with you gelli plate, and the colours are fab.
I don't envy you with a parchment card to make as they can be so time consuming, but gorgeous results.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

That is what I want to do for 2017; use the already made backgrounds before creating more! And so much fun to do :)
Your card turned out beautifully!Love the red-white combination; so fresh-looking!

This is very nice. I had to laugh that you made a rule for yourself--use up your stash before making more. You're so boring..... lol... but practical!

This is fab - love the bright and bold design. It looked great on those sneakers too - never thought to paper piece with a background......... more things to try!
