This came together pretty quickly with a few scraps laying around my desktop.
I started with a mix of paints rolled onto a gelli plate. I wanted to use neutral earthy colors and a touch of gold.
I created several backgrounds with the mix of paints on the gelli plate onto white cardstock. I stored them away in my background file. When I was looking for something to play with I pulled out one of the backgrounds.
I added a few different pieces of paper tape in random areas of the background. I then stamped the wordblock over the background. I used a stencil to add a layer of embossing paste and painted it with a touch of light yellow paint.
From there I decided to cut a piece for my card. Now for the fun part... I left it on my desk scratching my brain trying to figure out what to use it with. A few die cut feathers fell on the background. and that is when it all started to come together.
I stamped the buck using brown ink and cut him out. I stamped the compass on a wood button. I sponged the feathers and added a touch of script. I applied crackle glaze over the feathers and the button.
