Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "New Beginnings TE4" Gel Plate Card

An early morning play session for me today making this card.  I used a circular gel plate background I had in my stash.  

I pulled a page from an old Welsh hymn book with music notes on it and stamped the large flower, which is part of the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "new Beginnings - TE4" stamp set.  I then added a wash of colour to the flower using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks.  I used Wild Honey and Ripe Persimmon.  I then fussy cut the flower.

For placement, I then stamped the flower again on to the edge of the gel plate circle.

Using Versafine Clair "Shady Lane" green ink I stamped the ferns, which are part of the Tracy Evans "Fern - TE3" stamp set.

I used the "New Beginnings" stamp set again for the bird.  Stamping it on to the card for placement using Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.  I then stamped it again on a bright yellow gel plate off cut I had in my stash, fussy cut the bird and then stuck it over the image on the card.

Finally, I added some dots of metallic gold gel pen and also some dots of black Posca Pen. I'll add a sentiment at a later date when the card is needed.
