Did a lot of experimenting for these cards, like a good scientist 👩🏼‍🔬 😂 (I am a biologist) - I had a lot of fun with the prompts this month!

Bought some fun old books and dictionaries at the thrift store yesterday and used them for the backgrounds.

Also got some acrylic inks, which I tried out (more experimenting needed). This is what I used for the bird card.

Made gelli plate prints with medical table paper (bought a roll on Amazon for <$10) - makes a nice thin paper that’s good for collage. (gelli plate printing is so addictive!) That’s what the DNA helix is made with.

The tiny mushrooms in the scientist card are made from gelli plate prints I made with acrylics and leaves from my backyard (not that you can tell, they’re so teeny).

Will get them in the mail tomorrow. 💌
