Mixed Media Gel Press Journal Card

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July. Today, I'm excited to share a new journal card project that combines the AALL & Create Skycrossed Paradise die with the Visible Image Shining Star stamp.

 

 

I started with an old gel press print on a book page, but I wasn't thrilled with the colors. Determined to give it new life, I reached for my PaperArtsy Fresco paints in London Bus and Aquamarine. The result was fantastic! The vibrant layers peek through beautifully, creating a rich, textured background that I'm absolutely in love with.

 


To add a focal point, I stamped the star from the Visible Image Shining Star set using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink and clear embossed it. This gave the star a bold, crisp appearance. I then used the Skycrossed Paradise die to cut the image down and adhered it to my colorful background.

 

I hope this project inspires you to breathe new life into your old prints and experiment with layering and texture. Thank you for stopping by, and don't forget to check out the sale going on now!
