Two of my go to colors of acrylic paint to use on my Gel Press are Pink and Yellow. Sweet Berry (bright pink) and Lemon Drop (bright yellow) paints by FSJ to be exact. I'll also throw in some Bubble Gum (light pink) and Citrus Cooler (orange) I have several prints that I have made with these colors and this week I created several cards with them.
For both of these cards I press something into the paint after braying it on to my Gel Press the top card I used a rubbing plate, meant for preschoolers to put a paper on top of and rub with the side of a crayon to make a rubbing of a flower. The bottom print I used a produce bag that once held oranges.
This cards was also made with a rubbing plate, both of which I found at the dollar store. I love finding things that will make cool texture and pattern on my Gel Press. If you are unfamiliar with the Gel Press is a plate made of gel, it soft and has a bit of squish to it. You make your own prints on it by braying paint or ink on it. Then you lay a piece of paper over that and pull up a print. If you want to learn more about the Gel Press check out Gel Press 101.
If you have any questions about this card or the Gel Press, please just let me know. I have taken courses on how to use and am the creator of Gel Press 101. Below you will find all the supplies I used to make these cards.
