Randy,
If I may suggest, that in order to get the effect I think you are looking for. When you pull off the leaves and put another layer of paint on
Put on another layer of leaves over that. Then go through the process again you'll get several layers and different effects from each.❤
Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it so much! 💕
I agree
That's so thoughtful of you Patricia Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
I like the dark blue with the light leaves the most. But they all turned out lovely. 💕
@Rosiescreativewings thank you ❤️
I hung in there! Brilliant technique!🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆♥️
You are very kind, thank you!
I don’t mind a longer video, because then I can craft along with you. Thanks for sharing your experiments with me.
Thank you!!! I love crafting along with people too!!!! Thank you so much for watching!!!
Your results are very nice. I think you’re trying to accomplish in only two layers what is a minimum of 3 to 4 layers. Also I think you’re trying to use opaque paints and you might find better results with several layers of translucent paints to see the layers of leaves.
I agree, I have been using the paint I have on hand. I tried it again and got the same results so I don’t think it’s possible with the mostly opaque paints I have. Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
If you have gel medium, mix it with your opaque paints; it will water it down and make it more translucent.
You really needed that metallic green again 😊
Very interesting watching your whole process [yes I stayed]! Love the papers with the leaf impression too! The fabric is gorgeous, and you'll master your faux gelli print too! Thanks for sharing your experimentation and knowledge!🌿🌾
Wonderful! Thank you! I’m 💯 I’m using too much paint but I will try again when I get some additional research under my belt. It’s kind of the good, the bad and the ugly around here 😂
That's so thoughtful of you Susan Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
It's absolutely beautiful, definitely came close on the last one GORGEOUS 🥰
Thank you so very much!!!!! 💕💕💕
I loved this! An hour video is not that long if you are working while you watch and listen
Thanks so much Terry, I think gelli printing just takes a while anyway. I always love to see the results so these kind of videos keep me on the edge of my seat.
Try transparent color printed over the existing pull❤
The print at 58:00 can be perfected to take out the white splotches by glazing with a transparent dark blue or dark green just over the areas that are too light after the paint is dry. Think wet over dry instead of all colors wet at once.
Wonderful, thank you for the suggestion! I have lots of experimenting to do!
Great video. Thanks for taking me along on this adventure!
These are so beautiful!!
Thank you!
Love all of them!
Thank you!
Such a delight to watch! Stunning work!!!
Thank you 💕💕💕
I stayed with you!! You almost got it! I’m going to try this too! I have to now!! I think, stay with the black but maybe add some light green and some light lavender in places. Easier said than done!! I know because I have two fern prints that I love and cannot duplicate!! We’ll keep trying! I may have to pick up a couple more paint colors to try this but it is stunning!! Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much for hanging in there! I am determined to get this right 😂. I may need to get some more colors also. I also think it’s more than a two pull process after I think about it. Not sure how, but I’m going to keep at it! Good luck with yours!!!!
Loved the combinations that you came up with! Now I have to go see what my gelli plate can create!!
Thank you! I hope you come up with some fun stuff!!!
Your gelli painting is soooo amazing! Came out fantastic
Thank you!!!
More gorgeous prints! You are the gelli queen!!!
Thank you Dale, you are the sweetest!!!
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
@@markowen3114 I am great! Weather is super hot and humid
I watched the whole thing. I just got my first ever Gelli printing plate and I can not wait to experiment with it. Thank you for this video.
Thank you 💕 I just know you will have so much fun!
Stayed to the end. Nice prints. Gel printing with foliage is so much fun.
Thank you! 💕It is so fun!
It’s still an awesome print. All of them 👍🏼
You’re so kind, thank you 💕
I loved watching your experiment. Keep going. ❤
Thank you so much 😃
Lovely! If you lay the leaves backside down, you get more of their veining. To get that in your first print, you just lift the paper after rubbing, pull out the leaves (leaving the veining on the plate) and then lay your sheet back down to pick up that ghost.
Thank you so much for the tip!!!💕
You have such a soothing voice and so much patience ❤
That’s very kind of you, thank you 💕
I think these really did turn out amazing. I love the color combos. The last print you did would be perfect (I think what you were trying to achieve) if you take your fern leaves, brayer over them with a cream color and used them as a stamp to stamp on top of that print. To me that’s what the lightest printed leaves on the fabric looks like that’s how they got that on there? 🤷🏻♀️👍🏻👍🏻
Either way, I was glad I watched till the end because of you don’t do another thing to the papers, they are still beautiful just the way they are. 🫶🏻
Thank you Jennifer, I really appreciate your input! I know what you mean about stamping with the leaves! I will definitely try that!
Nice job of layering
New to hello print and this was so fun to watch all the way to the end. Can't wait to play. Thanks!!!
It’s a different world, that’s for sure and it’s hard not to have fun! Good luck on your journey!!! Thanks so much for your kind words and watching. 💕
I stayed. Just starting Gelli, I learned a lot from you. Thank you
Thank you Sandy - there’s lots of good info in the comments as well from folks kind enough to leave suggestions.
Loooove this!!! 😍😍
Thank you so much!!!
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
I think they are all great! Want to try this soon!
Thank you Alana 💕
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
Hung in and loved it.
Thanks so much!
Yes I didn’t mind this long video beautiful ending ❤️
Thank you 💕 great idea!!!
I enjoy longer videos, it's more informative and relaxing 😊
All kinds of brave 😂❤ beautiful creative learning curve to admire 🙏
Thank you for your kindness with my experimentation 💕 and for watching! I somehow missed your comment earlier!
I love this ma’am
Thank you 💕
So interesting..a great video
Great job. I stuck in there with you to the very end to see your last attempt and I loved it. I like the last one the best. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you!
j'ai beaucoup aimé votre travail merci
Thank you!
I just might raid my garden inspired now❤ thanks
You definitely should 💕
It was interesting to watch you experiment.
I appreciate you watching 💕💕💕
Ottima spiegazione
Loved to see the proces! Very inspiring.
When I have prints like this I color them later just a bit extra with paints and/or colored pencils to make the print more beautiful, or to highlight some parts.
Thank you so much! I am looking forward to the possibilities in the negative spaces! I thought about water colors but the paper isn’t watercolor paper… I like the thought of that effect though.
Good idea.
Golden’s Green Gold should do the trick😊
Thanks for posting this even though you didn't get the effects you were looking for. I am just starting with this process and it is good to see that I can expect it not to work out as I want sometimes - but your ideas of what you might possibly do with pencil and watercolors to fix these gives me hope that I can succeed too.
Thank you - I only learn by doing and sometimes doing over and over 😂 I wil try again soon! Good luck to you!
thx so much this will be a lot of help to us
💕 thank You!!!
I love the idea to print with plants. I would like to suggest you start with a solid dark background print. Then print the leafs (and only the leafs) on that background changing position and colours of the leafs with every print going from darker to lighter colours.
In case the colour under the plants dries too quickly you could always use transparent matte medium to pick them up from the plate onto your paper. It is important to change the position of the leafs otherwise you print the same leafs on top of each other again.
Thank you 💕💕💕
I could watch hours and hours im going on 5 hrs jelly plate watching just this evening love it learning so much
😂 I know exact what you mean!!! I get down the rabbit hole as well!!! Thank you so much for choosing to watch my video 💕💕💕
I enjoyed the entire video. Thank you!
Thank you!! 💕💕💕
Beautifully done. See I should have taken all this to Canada 😳😳😳
That's so thoughtful of you judy Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?

Hi! Stumbled upon your channel and this particular video. Thank you so much for sharing your process in making the faux eco dyeing with leaves. I think you did a wonderful creation. The color choices were 🤌🏼 ❤️ I love picking up people’s different techniques and how they approach in creating. Everyone has different approaches. Can’t wait to watch some more of your videos. You earned a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much! I agree that everyone has a different and unique approach- that’s what I love about the creative community! Thank you for watching 💕🥰
Thank you for the video. I am going to give it a try with transparent paint. They where very pretty the ones that you did.
Thank you! Have fun!
Just discovered you and your channel. I have never tried this art form but it intrigues me so much. The variations are wonderful, stuck with you to the very end. It didnt seem that long for all of the pages you produced. SUPER❤❤
Thank you! It’s such a fun thing to try and I hope you get around to it - I know I’m hooked!
You might want to take the bracts off the germs and use them as smaller germs, so you can have more areas of contrast like the fabric does. You can also use that first monoprint to pick up leaf prints that you make a second time around. Just do it when the leaves have been used as stamps, as you did on the first “ghost print”. Just prepare a second gelli plate with light and medium tones.
I stayed till the end and I loved watching you for an hour!! The last one was beautiful as the rest are. You'll be seeing more of me. I can not get beautiful leaves because I live in Arizona. You remind me of home because I'm from Rhode Island. Thank you so much I truly enjoyed watching you 😊 XOXO ❤
Thank you, I appreciate that and your feedback! I’m sad for you with the leaf situation 😞 - I wonder if faux leaves would work if they didn’t have too much wire and plastic running through them 🤔Thank you again 💕💕💕
What a great idea. I have fabric leaves and flowers all year round. Thank you for sharing the entire process from inspiration through experimentation and reflections about future possibilities in comments.
Thank you 💕💕💕
Really liked the last pull with batik overlay effect. Also liked blue on green background. Maybe starting with some of the antique white or a pale yellow to lighten things? Your experimentation & live voice over was entertaining. Thanks for sharing the process. djb
Watched all the way and enjoyed the process. If I may make a suggestion: Perhaps try laying down just paint (your palest color) first to your plate, pull a print, then lay your next color (a little darker than your first) and then lay your leaves down and pull another print on the same paper you started with. Continue with this process with colors getting a little darker as you build your layers. I personally am going to give this a go myself and see how it turns out, because your idea has inspired me! So thank you. Do you have an IG? I will tag you when I finish mine.
Hi Annette! I would love to see yours if you give it a go and see how they turn out! I definitely need to study the fabric more closely to see the layering. The lights and darks were difficult to control without overpowering. My IG is @adreamybohemian and I’d love it if you tagged me! Thank you!!!
I think these came out great! I think the lighter colours you used were maybe a bit chalky, making the colours a little muddy? Maybe a different brand would work better for this technique, with more vivid/clean greens and blues, I think a teal or phthalo blue/green would look fab. Also you could add the odd spot of a transparent yellow to make some of the green really pop! Just some ideas that came to me while I watched, and yes I watched the whole video 😁
Thank you Emma… I have been rolling all kinds of things around in my mind as well. I mostly just have craft paint and haven’t really been concerned with that until trying this technique. I will have to build up my supply of golden paints. I appreciate you sticking around and your ideas!
I stayed til the end. I am new to Gelli print. I agree with the 3 to 4 layers and the yellow. I am still learning. Thank you. They’re beautiful!
Those all came out great just use watercolors where your missing colors fabulous 👍 enjoyed watching you play. 👍
Ha ha, I stuck with you til the end, just to see if you'd get the final outcome you were after (and I learned loads in the process!)...
thank you so much for hanging in there! It takes time on these for sure - One day I will try again with everyone's good advice!
Love the idea of trying to accomplish the same colours as the cloth and in the end it was very close. 😊 I would love to see a video where you mention you would fill in some Lines on the other papers, embellishing or accentuating more details😊
Thank you Gina, it was definitely a challenge to try and get it close. I’m still a little salty I missed. 😂I am gathering some ideas for filling in the negative spaces so I can do a video one day. Stay tuned 💕💕
That's so thoughtful of you gina Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
Hi, I hope you don't mind a little suggestion from another of your viewers. I think you would get a better dispersion of different colours if you use a paintbrush to place thick strokes of paint, and then only use the brayer to merge the colours (so there are no gaps). I'm going to admit that I haven't taken my gelli plate out for a test drive yet, so this isn't a suggestion from experience. But I do have a BA hons in printed textile design and used various techniques on paper and fabric! Anyway I'm loving watching your adventures (I'm sure eventually I will try my gelli plate out too), thanks for sharing. ❤
Hi, I've been having another little think about your process to get as close to the fabric design as you can (I hope you don't mind). I don’t think you're going to be able to do it in one pull. You need to create a darker background first (as I said before, using swatches of colour which are merged together using your brayer). Pick up that layer and let it dry. For the top layer (the actual leaves) create larger swatches of light paint (needs to be opaque), then merge together to make sure there are no gaps. Lay your leaves on the wet layer, pick up the paint and remove the leaves (as you've been doing). Then allow the layer on the plate to dry. To bring the printed background layer together with the leaf layer on the plate, use matte gel medium as a clear pick up paint. I think you would need to leave the paper on the plate for quite some time (maybe overnight) to allow the layers to bond. I hope my explanation is clear enough to follow and that you don't mind my input.
I totally thought about that!!! I have been racking my brain but I haven’t had time to sit down and try it again. Thanks so much for all of your suggestions! I am definitely going to read back through all of the good info and play a bit. 💕💕💕Thanks so much for all of your input!
These are great! I wonder how it would work if you changed colors between each leaf?
Thank you! That’s the fun thing about this process I think, that there are so many options! I have a plethora of wonderful ideas from folks that left ideas and tips!
I enjoyed watching this, and I love the fabric you chose as inspiration.
I'm not sure if any comments mentioned that ALL of the leaves on the fabric are ONLY silhouettes. None of them are veined impressions. There are no "ghost prints" on that fabric. This means they were all laid down clean on the background, and the paper pulling the print already had a lighter-colored layer to begin with.
I have not done much gel printing yet, but this what I would try:
1. Start by creating a variegated pale background. Pull that background, with no leaves.
2. Clean the plate, lay down a slightly darker colored layer and then plenty of clean leaves, and use the first sheet to pull that print.
3. Clean the plate. Now lay down your darkest colors, add plenty of CLEAN leaves, and then use your first sheet (which has 2 pale layers on it) to pull that last print. The leaves act ONLY as masks. You never use the ghosts in this particular example. (although you are certainly welcome to pull the ghosts and use them on other sheets.)
Thank you for the chance to think my way through this! I'm still learning!
Thank you! I’m still learning as well and actually still concocting ideas to try again! My brain is on overload 🤣.
@@DreamyBohemian Yeah, the whole "additive" vs "subtractive" thing with gel printing can be very confusing. Looking again (again again) at that fabric, you can get a lovely print, I think, with several different approaches. But to achieve what they did with the fabric, it would require using a resist for some parts (which is what batik IS, right?) or removing color with bleach or something similar. Anyway, it will be fun to play with when I get my paints and plates back out! I collected some leaves yesterday to preserve with glycerin so they can be used over and over, and I did manage to avoid the poison ivy! :-D
I really enjoyed this video! One thing I have tried with leaves on the gel plate is to tape the paper down o one side of the plate. Next, make a print of the leaves on the plate. But I h the paper off to the side but leave it taped for registration. Take the leaves off to another sheet of paper. Then fold the paper back over the plate to pick up the ghost print of the leaves that are still on the plate. Also if you use golden open paint it will give a better print from the leaves on the second piece of paper. This is my current favorite combination of colors. I am glad I found your videos!
Yes!!! I recently saw that process and I had a “duh” moment! I have been using the paint I have on hand and definitely need to try some professional brands. I just never considered myself a professional 😂 but with this process it would have helped to use some nicer paints. Thanks so much for watching - I really appreciate your advice!
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
I hung in, and the prints are beautiful. Sorry I don’t have the answer you’re looking for.
Do a base paper with your mottled lighter leaf colors either using a brush, gel plate or watered down paints splashed onto your base paper. Allow to dry. Then do your gel plate with the darker colors. Place the leaves on the plate and do your print with your first base paper. That should give you a more desirable print!
Yes…. So many ways to try!!!
@@DreamyBohemian And all of 'em are great fun no matter what the results!!!
I think you’re OVERBLENDING. So you don’t get variations in the colors.
Loved the tutorial , had to go get leaves( out of garbage at florists lol)
😂😂😂 Fabulous idea!!!
Sorry to comment yet again! I am such an active watcher! You don’t have to respond!! I would love to see how you augment the prints with your art pencils, paints, etc. ( The finished products) 💕💕💕
Donna, please don’t be sorry for commenting! I love your comments! I will be happy to do that soon. I appreciate you so much!!! Check your reply from me on the wonky house video 💕
Hi 🙂
Might I suggest a few things?
1. For the leaf silhouettes, use acetate cutouts or card stock cutouts. Using the cutouts will give you the clean, solid silhouettes, allowing more room for color(s). If you decide you want veining you could draw it in with a small ball stylus or a toothpick or whatever you have handy. You can do it spontaneously to give the leaves some "surprise".
2. Instead of blobbing the paint down on your dried leaves, you could have a butcher's tray or a piece of glass (something smooth and flat) to roll your paints out onto. Using the colors you've chosen, roll them onto the extra piece first and then roll your covered brayer onto the gelli plate. You could add some darker color to the top or put more dark green at the lower left, for example.
3. Try using a clean brayer to go over your paper when printing.
4. When you have your paint on the plate try using your fingers to make marks that look like leaves or swipes or whatever you feel like that day.
If you try any of these, I hope they work well for you. I'm not a printer, I'm a silk painter. I'm probably getting a lot wrong.
Beautiful cloth/material, by the way.
God Bless 😃
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful suggestions! Not adding the paint directly seems like it would work nicely. I need to do some more experimenting for sure! I keep thinking I will try it again!
thank you for your video.what kind of paint do you use?
I use all kinds of paint. I’m not brand loyal.
There’s some crimson in there also. I wouldn’t use black, dark blue instead. But that’s how we all learn, trial and error. Good video.
Thank you so much Maureen. I couldn’t agree more about the trial and error… if we don’t try we don’t learn. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.
You could do a tranparent glaze over your print in the colours that are missing.
They all turned out beautifully and will definitely give this a try. Can I ask what kind of paper you are using?
Hi Melanie, I am just using 24lb copy paper… nothing special. I literally just used what I had on hand.
@@DreamyBohemian thank you!
Beautiful pieces. It dawned on me that when you tried to put the leaves back on the print, the print is actually backwards you would have to color the other side of the leaves to make it match the print. It is still cool though!
It dawned on me later too 🤣 thanks so much for watching 💕
Perhaps Pressure blue is a good color for this background😊🤔And i would use a smaller brayer with light over the blades perhaps.
I love that color, I don’t think I have any though, I’ll have to get some. I have a small brayer and I can’t seem to get the right touch to not have a lot of lines yet. That’s one of my biggest frustrations with gelli printing. Still trying to figure that out.
Hi!beautiful results!what kind of paper are you using please?
Thank you 💕 I’m just using 24 lb copy paper, nothing special.
@@DreamyBohemian thank you!!🙏🤗
How do you clean your gel mat when you're finished for the day?
It can be cleaned with a baby wipe or some wide tape to pull off the excess paint.
Very nice! To get the different colors on leaves, what if you brayered or painted the paint onto the leaves first, and then put them paint-side down onto plate??? That might give you the painted colors on leaves. It would help you control colors on the eaves better. Just thought. TFS
I love anything with nature, leaves & flowers!

Thank you Barbara! I thought about that too! Great idea! I wanted to keep going but gosh, it was already an hour. I will get back at it another day.
@DreamyBohemian Its not easy to copy the original fabric piece. But you came pretty close. And they are pretty anyway!!
That's so thoughtful of you Barbara Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
@@markowen3114 TEXAS: HOT, HOT, HUMID, & HOT!!! LOL!
The black is killing it. Don’t put so much black on. Try Payne’s grey so it blends with the blues and greens better. Also put some lighter green in the final pull and less paint.
I fast forwarded through a lot. But I appreciated seeing the results and the steps you took.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it so much!!
In my humble opinion, you really needed some white and a tiny amount of black. Thank you!
What type of paper are you using? Multi media, drawing or water color?
Office Depot 24 lb copy paper
Stayed to the end
Perserver
Awe, thank you!! 🥰
Beautiful inspiration fabric . Nice prints New viewer/subscribed. If you dont care for the first print being white silhouettes, pull it on a light colired base print. Even a roll off paper or a scumbled watercolor background. The lightest colors in the fabric have a variation of yellow and a touch of pink The readon you are not seeing all the colors you selected so carefully is due to overmixing which created a new, solid color. Try a smaller brayer and less rolling, mixing. The leaf prints directly to the paper will never match up as prints are reversed from the leaf masks To fill in the leaves, pick up half of the paper, remove leaves, press back down and repeatbon the other half. You could also place painty leaves onto a second, bare, gel plate, remove, let dry, roll out a transparect color or gel medium and pull onto the white sillouette print. Hope thats helpful. 😊
Such good information, thank you! I think I forget so much between gelli printing sessions lol. It’s like I’m starting over again. I appreciate your help 💕
For better prints, you need better paint, like Golden. Lucy Brydon, also on CZcams, gets beautiful botanical prints with Golden Open acrylics. They cost more than regular Golden but they last longer, so the price really works out to be about the same. If you mentioned why you used cheap paint, I missed it since I always FF over intros.
It’s what I have from another project that didn’t call for the more translucent paints. I went over to your channel to get some tips but I unfortunately didn’t see that you make videos. Do you post your art somewhere? Have a facebook group or a website?
What if you did a pull with lighter colors including the lighter colors that you like in the fabric but don’t put leaves or anything down on the first pull and don’t blend the paint too much. Then add more paint in the medium and darker colors and put your leaves down then use the first pull sheet to pick up the second pull. That way the lighter colors will be in the negative space of the leaves with the darker around them.
Such great ideas 💡 One day I am going to have to give this a go again!
🤩😍👍.
I have just watched this to the end. I am a novice Gelli Plate user, but I am an artist and photographer. I want to use these backgrounds as a layer with a photograph eventually, so I am looking at a few ideas. I enjoyed many of the effects you created, but must say that if you were trying to create that batik effect you didn't have the correct green colour. I saw that at the beginning. Many of the greens were muted variations of the colour. You needed a hooker's or phthalo green or similar for that vivid rich green. I think if you were trying it again, but not necessarily for a video clip try a really strong green in those areas, then mixed with ultramarine blue and prussian blue instead of black. Having said that I thought many of your prints were quite delightful and I would be happy using something like that!
Thank you! I appreciate the green advice 😀 I was using what I had on hand and I’m not really a green girl so I rarely buy green. Sad I know… and something I need to correct. Thank you again!
From what I can see, I think you need to create more colours in the leaves. The leaves in the fabric have green, blues, etc, they are bright. Your last background was fantastic.
Thank you so much Randy, I really really enjoyed watching you create those. Amazing prints on your Gelliplate. I think you are very very brave, and very very talented too, because I’m still learning about the plate. Well done 👍 to you. I really really love ❤❤❤❤ your results too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so very much Mags! I so appreciate your kind words! I’m still learning with my plate as well… there are soooo many techniques and mediums to discover that it boggles the mind. Everyone I see using the gelli just amazes and inspires me! Thank you so much for choosing to watch my video 💕💕💕💕
next time you are putting the paper on and rubbing it you should use your brair.
Yes I agree 💕
Also, I would mist the leaves with water before placing them on the paper. 😌
Great idea 💕
👍🌸🌸🌸
I stayed with you.
If you did a solid page first, then add the layers. You may have better results.
These are lovely it's all about the process and having fun. Thank you for posting
Thanks for the tips!
My papers keep sticking to the plate no matter what type paper I use, do you know what causes this?
I can’t use anything less than 24 lb paper or it sticks and rips. If you leave them on too long they may stick also. A lot of people use rice paper and thicker paper but I think that’s just all preference. Every now and again my paper will stick but not very often.
@@DreamyBohemian thanks much!!
The print at 44minutes on the film was very good I thought. The colour variations may have been achieved if the brayer was not used to mix paint. Leave the variant tones to create. Pink was missing. But really good trial and error process. Totally at this point myself🇦🇺❤️
Thank you so very much! I almost feel like I need to paint on the plate with a paint brush at this point 😂 I may experiment a bit and see. I also think I need to do the background first theeeen the leaves. 🤷♀️
I agree, too much blending. Leave the colours more separate. Loved the video tho. Very inspiring.
P.S when you enlarge the picture of the one that you are trying to copy, the black is only in spots, with a medium/dark (not too dark) blue for the rest and VERY LIGHT under the plants. We’ll get close!!
I hung in there.
Thank you so very much💕💕💕
Cual es el nombre del papel que usas ?
It’s just brand from my local office supply store in 24 pound weight.
