Hello Everyone!
I wanted to share with you two projects I made with Lost Coast Design Stamps new release.  The backgrounds are made with a Gelli Plate.  I made two cards with the background paper and added different ribbons to each piece.

Materials List:

Ink: Jet Black Archival Ranger

CS: White, black, rose, Early Espresso Stampin' Up

Mono printing  Plate

Acrylic Paints

Empty Plastic ribbon reel

Rhinestones

Ribbons

Yarn

 Card #1

Instructions:

• Make card bases from Early Espresso and rose CS
• Backgrounds: add acrylic paints to the surface of mono printing Plate with a brayer
• Press the plastic ribbon reel into the paint and remove
• Press a sheet of white CS onto the mono printing Plate and smooth surface with hand
• Pull CS up and let dry
• Cut background into pieces to fit your card size

• Stamp the Light Mandelas with Jet Black ink inside the circles made by the ribbon reel --Just amazing how well the stamps fit into the circles!  
• Add  the background paper to the card bases
• Add rhinestones around the circular motifs
• Wrap ribbon around card 
• Staple  additional ribbon pieces to wrapped ribbon
• Tie a piece of ribbon in a  knot and glue to other ribbons

                                                           Card #2

• On card two, Cut around one of the circular motifs so that it extends pasts the edge--I cut this by hand with scissors
• Wrap yarn around card and tie ribbons onto yarn
