Relatively Thoughtful Gelli Art Prints Challenge

 

Today I'm sharing a set of Artists' Trading Cards I made to join in with the current challenge in the RT Create, Make and Share Facebook Group.

RT stands for Relatively Thoughtful and they sell a great range of digital products as well as stamping supplies.

They are based in the UK and you can find the shop website here.

The Create, Make and Share Facebook Group is here and this month's challenge is showcasing a set of beautiful papers called 'Gelli Art Prints'.

The papers are available as a physical product in a range of sizes here or as a digital download here.

They make fabulous backgrounds for a range of projects.

If you would like to join in with the challenge there is a special free download available until 12 June.

The idea behind the challenge is that you make a project using the download and up to 3 additional items from your stash and then share it in the group.  And the prize is the full digital download plus a 20% discount voucher for your next shop with Relatively Thoughtful.

Here's a closer look at my ATCs:
