Hello Friends and Happy Friday! The weekend is finally here and I am so ready for it! I know that I'll be spending part of my weekend at my daughter's volleyball tournament and I'm super excited about that. It's so nice to see all the girls learning and growing and gaining more confidence.
Well, speaking of gaining confidence, I did something for the first time...Gel Plate Printing! I've been watching Vicki Boutin do this for years and I finally decided to give it a try! I'll be honest, it wasn't super easy for me because there is a technique to getting the paint right on the gel plate. But I stuck with it!
And, here's what I ended up with and I actually really love them! I chose one to create a birthday card and Voila!

I love the "Artsy" feel of this card! I used a butterfly stencil and acrylic paint all from Scrapbook.com to create my background. I also used the nested arch dies to cut it out and I added a rub-on for my sentiment. I absolutely LOVE the rub-on's from Scrapbook.com because they go on like buttah!

I think I might be hooked on this technique! It was so much fun and I truly love the results! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
Hugs,
Carol
