Supplies: please see list at end of post
The panel for this card was done with the help of a 3x3" square gel plate. I neglected to photograph the print before I cut it up but I had enough for four cards. I made a previous card with another quarter of the print (at bottom of post HERE).
I basically brayered ink onto the gel plate and used it as a stamp without pressing down too hard on the edges; didn't want harsh square edges (but you can see a few). I brayered over a stencil on the gel plate and also sprayed through the stencil direct to paper with some glimmer mist. Once dry, I die cut with a stitched rectangle & stamped with a cling script stamp inked with Hero Wax (very subtle gold in spots) and then with a clear script stamp held on my fingertips with some teal ink. I matted the printed the print with black and added to an A2 card formed from Hero Arts Bermuda cardstock. A label made with a Dymo embossing tool became the sentiment strip.
Here's an accordion art journal page I made using part of the watercolor sheet I'd used as a work surface (see that photo HERE). I added a LOVE diecut (Hero Arts Love You Stamp & Cut XL) along with a leftover sentiment strip.The narrow strip on the left side near the page's edge was trimmed off another page that I'd cut too large. Didn't want to waste it, right?

Mixed media masterpieces! Looked like a fantastic stamp-along weekend.
Superb pieces of mixed media Linda. You've done so well with your class and made some incredible projects. Great use of your "waste"
I miss the photo of a body part of you... *smile*
But I console myself with these exceptionally beautiful works. You have mastered the technique in a very short time.
Wonderful effects!
