It was so satisfying to be able to complete a card with any creative technique I felt like using at the time.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that nearly everything takes on a holiday shine.

Gelli Plates Printing
A few years ago, the only way to make a gelatin print was to make a gelatin printing plate. The process was tedious, and the plates were temperamental, often disintegrating within an hour. That’s all in the past. Thanks to Gelli Arts, the soft and spongy Gelli Printing Plate is here to stay!
Let's Color! Paints & Pastes

Happy Boss Day

Beautiful Day
Project note: Refer to photo and Quilled Shape diagrams when forming quilled shapes. Use a fine-tip glue applicator or toothpick to place glue on ends of quilling paper when securing quilled shapes. Tweezers can also be used to place quilled shapes onto card.
