Thanks ever so much Louise for your awesome reference.  I couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do with this busy mono-printed background and then I found your photo! I threw a lot on this one! I had thought I would keep it simple but clearly I am unable to do that!! Regardless, I had oodles of fun trying to work with the gelli-printed background.  I had some old handmade eraser stamps so I used them too.  Purchased letter stamps because I have lousy creative lettering! #monoprint #gouache
