I've also come out of my colour comfort zone as I do like to use a lot of brights but I've used a colour I don't really go for as i'm playing with green, I have no idea why I don't use green it just doesn't call me but as you can see in this piece I have used a fair bit of green.

The background, I have to confess, was made several months ago when I was playing with the Gel Press and Carabelle Studio Art Printing Unmounted Plates, the one I used is from Kate Crane called 'Flowers & Leaves'. I created 2 prints by stamping the plate into the paint I had laid onto the Gel Press to leave an impression and then pulling the print and the 2nd print is by stamping with the plate onto a clean sheet of card using the paint on the stamp to create another background.

Here you can see the 2 prints this technique gives you. I combined the 2 to create the start of the background.

Next I started adding to the background, I added some circles, punching out circles from scrap painted tissue paper and doodling around them, a selection of washi tape pieces, there is also a little bit of script stamping in green but it looks a bit subtle.
