That Ombre Letterpress effect is very cool, Jenn. I like the colors you chose. I am surprised you didn’t pick a blue and green to make aqua in the middle! I just bought an actual gelli plate after seeing a friend use one and had some fun with it last night. I always forget about the embossing folders and don’t use them enough! This is a good way to use them more. Thanks for the inspiration and step by step method. JJ
