Gel Press Christmas Card

Have you see the other cards I made with this print I made on my Gel Press? 

I cut up this print to have 4 pieces for backgrounds on cards.  You can see the Thanksgiving card I made HERE and the Halloween card I made HERE. 

Here is the 3rd piece I cut from this print. 

When I saw this print I thought it would make a great vintage like Christmas card. 

So I stamped the Graduated Dots background stamp over the top with Cool Pool ink, but I inked the stamp with a light hand and pressed the paper onto the stamp with a light hand as well. Then I splattered Sparkle Silk over the top. 

I layered the background onto a frame of Cool Pool card stock.  Then tied on a piece of Special Day Organza ribbon.  It still needed something so I added a strip of printed paper from the Christmas Cheer Prints paper pack.  

I added some accents to my card using die cut snowflakes from Cool Pool card stock.  I painted the snowflakes with Sparkle Silk, let them dry and then covered them with Journey Glaze. 

For my sentiment I stamped and embossed the "Deck the Halls" image from the Holiday Celebrations stamp set. 

I added the large snowflake behind the ribbon, then my sentiment with Journey Foam Squares, and my small snowflake with foam squares as well.  For some bling, I added some Sparkle Drops. 

I have been making a LOT of prints with my Gel Press lately, as I am currently taking an online coarse to become and "expert" Gel Presser, that might not be a real thing.  But I love making my own prints to use in my card making and am planning on having a class soon to teach my customers how to use it as well. 

I will be sharing more about Gel Press soon, including more creations with my backgrounds, so stay tuned.
