These are beautiful @AIMR! I really like the leaves and the stencil with the different sized dots, and your colour choices are lovely (especially the second one).

Excellent color schemes and I love your focal piece in the top one. I agree - a fun way to make a really cool background!

They are both great, hard to believe they started out as one piece.

@megwell love the black and white scheme. and the cookies are the perfect image!

@Abbeeroad the flower is great and the letter stamping is perfect. I always have issues with white stamp pads. no matter how careful I am they get grungy.

@Cindy the white dots are great. they really pop

@AIMR your wonky bits are great. love the colors on the 2nd one

thanks for joining in everyone!

lol at first I read it as you made 21…I thought “wow, she REALLY liked that one”…ha ha

I love how you changed it up on the second one!

This lesson also showed me that I am woefully short of papers and things yellow…I have a direction now for making some gelli prints and masterboards!

lol I’m fast but not that fast.

Most of my painted papers are blues, greens, and purples. I have been trying to concentrate on making some reds, oranges, and yellows.

I gravitate towards the same colors. I find the same in my wardrobe…I love red and barely have anything red as far as shoes and tops…time to make some changes!

Everyone’s pieces turned out so lovely- great variation in color schemes and designs. Here’s mine- thought I might tinker with it some more but maybe I’ll just make a new one! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Thanks Carlee for organizing and for the papers!!

You did a great job bringing out that bit of yellow with your focal piece! It is really pretty.

Day 9 - Fern, mine looks more like a bough but it was just what I needed today, something easy, fun and freeing.
