    Creating Gel Press Backgrounds

    Creating Gel Press Backgrounds

    I finally gave in… and decided to try out gel press. So I made a video of me creating gel press backgrounds.

    Lately I have been seeing so many other card makers using this jelly feeling block to create some really interesting backgrounds with so much colour and texture. So I made an Amazon purchase and quickly had a gel press in hand.

    Watch as I use a bunch of Distress Oxide inks, some card stock and a gel press to create a whole bunch of different coloured card panels.

    • Tim Holtz Distress Ink
      • Aged Mahogany
      • Blueprint Sketch
