What happens if you skip the brayer and apply VersaFine Clair ink pads directly to a gel plate?

In this Short, I'm experimenting with bold blocks of colour using VersaFine Clair Lemonade, Carrot and Dahlia Purple before transforming the finished print into a mixed media tag using my Art Inspirations stamp designs.

This project was originally going to become another art journal page... but creativity had other ideas!
