This is my first time playing at The Card Concept but look at these AWESOME colours! I couldn't resist!
I was so inspired by the lacy look of those candles and the colors that I took out my Gelli plate and started to play! (Process photos at the end).
So we had to pick a style of one of the DT members and I chose classy and elegant. I ended up making two cards - sort of. I'll show you what I mean. First card:
I made Beautiful gelli prints for the BG and tag. Here the tag is pulled out slightly and says love.
When you pull the tag out a little more, it says love you.
Then I pulled it out all the way and realized I really loved my Gelli print BG so I changed the card!
I kept the doily folded over and added a Happy Birthday banner out of another Gelli piece of paper and this time added a green flower.
I think this look is YUMMY!
Process photos:
I applied Dina Wakley heavy body paints (LOVE) on my gelli plate.
After I rolled it out, being careful not to mix it, I made a print.
Then I added white paint to my Gelli plate, use a Viva Decor compass stencil, and pulled several more prints until I had the BG I wanted.
I hope you like them!
I had FUN!

Gorgeous BG and the doily is a perfect addition to ur design :)
I am going to try this - the end result is so pretty ! We are busy making our next plans to go back to WDW in February, got our reservations today. We are bringing the kids this time !!
Your gelli print background is beautiful on this Sue! Wonderful lacey look with the die cut edge and rolled up doily!
That is a beautiful color combo! Love the paper you made on your gelli plate. Both cards look fabulous. :)
Sue I just love the bg's you are creating! So pretty! And they make your cards and projects so uniquely beautiful!! Absolutely gorgeous my dear!!!
Wow! Both cards are gorgeous with the colorful background! Looks like loads of fun with the gelli plate!
So nice to see the transformation of your card, Sue. I think I like the second version better, too. It's such a pretty background you've created, it's a shame to cover it up.
Thanks for joining us at The Card Concept, my friend!
You just rock! I love both!
Sue, this is just a gorgeous mixed media project. I am in awe as mixed media and I do not get along too well, LOL! Thanks so much for sharing this beauty with us at The Card Concept!
Beautiful Gelli pulls! AND you made such lovely things with them! Gorgeous!
So fun the way you made this! Love the color blends! Beautiful tag card Sue!
Okay Miss Sue you are a master with the gelli plate too, and in my favorite colors, I love them both, I can see why you wouldn't want to cover the gorgeous design you created, fabulous work as always. Thanks for sharing...
Love your card either way and how you used the gelli print to do it! TFS the steps.
