I found the gelli plate print in my stash and I think this was one I made when I was using some foliage I picked on a walk several weeks ago, and I used a couple of pieces of fern, and as far as I remember the colours were Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron Distress Inks, and maybe a bit of Pine Needles DI, but didn't make a note of it so a bit of a guess. The fern print was not very strong and I decided to add some more inks and a spray or two of water, before I pulled the print for a second time, so it was well covered with the ink, and ended up really as a watercolour background.
Using a piece of white card I cut the floral die twice and then stuck it to the gelli plate background so it showed off the most pleasingly coloured areas in the gelli print through the flower cut out shapes. I then cut the heart from another piece of white card, using the smaller picot edge heart die, and then ran it through the Kimmy-Luvs EF and layered it onto the centre of the background layer using some Pinflair Glue Gel to give it some shape. Finally I added the sentiment using Versafine Deep Lagoon Ink and heat embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder, and then added this onto a 6" square card. It does look rather dark and much darker than the colour looks on the outside of the cube, but I thought that it went OK with the background.
Thank you for joining me here today and I'll be back soon. x

Fabulous card Pat, I love the colour combination and the heart in the middle is just beautiful. xx
Beautiful card Pat. Always great when you can use some of your favourite items from your stash. The gelli print is gorgeous behind the flowers. LOVE that gorgeous embossed heart. xx
A lovely anniversary card with lots of detail. Great use of the various dies and the Gelli print background. I particularly like the white heart - so pretty with the extra embossing.
The die looks fab on your gelli print, a lovely card! xoxo

This card is perfect for an anniversary, the card is very pretty and romantic! The gelliplate behind is very lovely, also because of the subtle color gradient. Love the elegant embossed heart as eyecatcher in the middel!
