I shared over on my YouTube channel how I make gelli print backgrounds – and leftover from that were these two pieces of torn paper with lots of lovely texture, pattern and colour so I had to get them used! They were just too pretty to throw away!
I glued them to the black cardstock square. Then I chose to use the waffle flower Greenery leaves that I had already die cut on a previous use of the die. They created a nice cluster for the sentiment to sit in.
I added some velvet trim across the panel and then the black gems to add texture and embellishment.
I think with the gold within the paint this is paper gives me luxury and opulent vibes!
Perfect for an anniversary card I think!
I raised the panel up onto foam so it has dimension and it helps to also frame the panel on the 6×6 card base.
I love how you can’t really control gelli printing results (well some people can but I am not talented enough for that!) so you end up with surprise treasures like these torn scraps that make some fun cards!
I did film putting this together as well as the gelli printing process so please do go check that out too.

That background is way too yummy!! I definitely think gel printing is beauty from chaos. 🙂 Love how you’ve added elements to turn your background into a beautiful card. Thank you so much for sharing this with us at Creative Artiste for our Anything Mixed Media Goes challenge! Anita xo
