Gel Printing Art Journal Page

Morning everyone, today I am sharing an art journal page that I have created using scraps of Gel prints that I had left over from my first project

I have used the Art by Marlene Art Journal - love the fact that you can remove the pages and work with the singularly.

I randomly placed the gel prints around the page and stuck down with Matte Medium.

Once dry I I have then used Paper Artsy Paints and JOFY Stencil PS139

I have made some more marks using an old papertowl roll covered with bubble wrap and paint

I have then stamped my image using Paper Artsy Stamp ETS29 designed by Tracy Scott (Love this stamp!)  I have then used Paper Artsy paint in white to push everything around the flowers to the background.

I have used a white Posca pen to go around the petals very roughly and added some splashing of white and Tango Paper Artsy paints.

A little black ink around the edges, random marks on the page with my Fudeball pen and some saying from 13Arts Word Sheets and my page is complete.

I hope that you have enjoyed this little process and have a go at this months challenge - Gel Printing and Mark Making

Til next time - happy crafting

My Little Book of Prints - Jen.

Hi Everyone!

  I hope that you have all been in your craft rooms, (or craft spaces), and have been busy gel printing.  I decided to make a little book out of mine with the help of a Birgit Koopsen video.

I didn’t have much experience with gel printing.  I’d had a couple of sessions playing but wasn’t getting any results I liked, but if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. The results were much better this time around. 

Firstly, while I was waiting for my parcel to arrive from Scrap Matrix, I decided to make my own texture plate.  I had lots of old chipboard letters taking up space and decided to glue them onto a thick piece of cardboard.  I also pulled apart a piece of cardboard so that the corrugated part showed and found some different sizes of bubble wrap. Finally my parcel arrived, (no thanks to Australia Post), and off I went.

 

This is what I used:

Cardstock – A5 white

Dina Wakley Media AcrylicPaint – White, Buff, Heather, Carnation, Aloe, Sky, Lapis, Peacock, Blackberry, Ruby, Tangerine, Lemon and Evergreen

Carabelle Studio Art Mask – Indian Mandala

Carabelle Studio ArtPrinting – Abstract Flower and Leaves

Carabelle Studio ArtStamp – Dancing in the Rain, Scribbled Leafs & Textured Circles,  Leafs, Blooms and Circles Elements, and Fabric Collage.

Archival Ink – Emerald, Cobalt

Sports Tape.

I then chose my six favourite prints and scored them down the middle lengthwise and folded them in half.  I then stuck them together using glue tape.

 

 I cut off a length of sports tape and created a spine.

 Next I chose two more prints for my front and back cover and glue them on.

My next step was to randomly apply my stamps on the various

pages in coordinating colours

I’m very happy with the results.  This was a great way to use those prints.  I can’t wait to see your little books of prints. Don’t forget to share them on the Scrap Matrix Share Page.  Hop into your craft rooms and get creating.

 Here is the link to the YouTube video.
