The look of torn paper and a
Gelli Arts Printing Plate creation all in one . . . I think I am in heaven.

ATCs inspired by Karen's post!
Adhere scraps from gel prints onto 2.5x3.5" Dungarees Light Blue and Picnic Dark Blue ATC bases. Embellish with Picnic Borders & Backgrounds and Greetings UM watermelon slices. Stamp with Black India ink and paint with matching green and fuchsia acrylic paints.
