I placed my ARTplorations stencil on to my gel plate. I randomly applied paint.

How the plate looked when I lifted up the stencil.

The monoprint I made.

 I made this card for my dear friend Ann. She is in the far right in this photo. She this last week went from living alone to moving into a care facility. I wanted her to have something bright and cheery and the sentiment ..."and in the end is a new beginning" was the perfect sentiment.

I used ARTplorations Dream Flower Stencil and

STAMPlorations Layered Butterflies Stamp Set.
