Gel ImPRESSionism Technique

I invented a technique I think you're going to love! I'm actually teaching it today at my retreat and I can't wait until they find out that they all will get to keep the Gel Presses they are using in class, thanks to the generous sponsorship by Gel Press

Would you believe me if I told you I created this beautiful, impressionistic painterly scene in two minutes? Tell the truth. I'll know if you're lying.

Well you'd better get your believe pants on, because it's true. When I came up with this, I seriously SQUEALED so loudly I scared myself. It's easy and beautiful. So here's the video - enjoy! But don't blink - it's QUICK. The sample above was created with the 3x5 press - because that's what we are using at retreat. I actually like that one better. However, if you're working on a larger card or want to cover more of it, use the 5x7 press I used in the video.



I hope you enjoyed that!

A few reminders -
  • I have a new online class available - you can see it here
  • This month's host code is  M2U9DE6V - use that when ordering for your chance to receive free products!

Loveyameanitbye.

  6. This is an absolutely cool technique. I don't have Oxides or the Gel Press yet but hope to at some point. I do however have the Lovely as a Tree set, which I LOVE! Pinning for reference for when I do get the supplies. TFS!

  8. Lydia, you sure do think of the coolest ways to use stamping products! I'm all about creating a painterly look, as I am not a paint artist. Thanks so much for inventing and sharing!
