More gel press backgrounds
Hello everyone! Did you see my last post on gel press? Well it was my first time playing with it and I made a bunch of backgrounds. And since I didn't want them to cover the intire card I cut them in half to make even more backgrounds. Then I went through my folder with colored images and found some to match. Easy peasy with the amount of images I've colored all through 2020.
These cuties are from My favorite things Birthday Buds, aren't they adorable? I can just hear the birdie singing "Happy birthday to YOUUUU!
For this card I chose to use the danish birthday stamps from Gitte's eget design that can be layered. I used inks from Hero Arts and Waffle Flower Except for the dark blue on the gel press paper. That's Faded jeans oxide ink.
The stencils used are from Tim Holtz and Taylored Expressions and the oxide ink comcos used on the 2 cards are
Victorian velvet, Fossilized amber, Faded jeans
Cracked pistacio, Evergreen bough, Faded jeans
I was going to stamp the top Tillykke on there but then I wanted the accentuate the water from the elephants trunk. I used an embossing ink pen over a few splashes and covered with WOW! Midnight Dream. So sparkly and gorgoeus - I love it!
Of course now I couldn't stamp on there. So I used Gitte's eget design Brush Tillykke die and covered that in 2 layers of WOW! Mint maccaroon embossing powder. It has such a pretty shine!
Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more gel press backgrounds!
Stay safe, and happy crafting!
