I am excited for today's video, it combines one of my favorite techniques with my August Stamp Set of the Month. My August Stamp set of the Month is Sunflower Daisy by Altenew. I love making my own backgrounds and for todays backgroud and the techinques I am going to be showing you is Gel Press Printing!
You will want to check out the video first to see how I use the Gel Press to make some distress and layered backgrounds. And then I will make a card with a Gel Press background.
Thank you so much for watching, don't forget to click over to the video on YouTube and comment on the video for a chance to win this card. Now let's take a look at the card closer.
What I love about the Gel Press backgrounds is that it has so much depth and texture and interest. No two prints are alike, so even if you repeat what you did before you will always get variations making for a one of a kind background.
The background helps to support the amazing blooms stamped from the Sunflower Daisy stamp set. Look closely and you can see all the detail in these flowers. That is because this stamp set is a layering set. You stamp 4 images over the top of each other to create the large flower. Isn't it amazing? I love how these flowers look.
These flowers were stamped with Altenew inks. Their ink pads are sold in sets of 4, so I know when I grab the Warm and Cozy set of Orange inks they are going to layer together perfectly. That makes me so happy. I did how ever add a brown layer (Milk Chocolate ink) to each of the flowers to give them more of a fall feel.
The large Grateful sentiment is from HoneyBee Stamps, the set is also called "Grateful". I love it combined with the smaller sentiment on this card.
Each week I have taken on the challenge of adding something to the inside of the card. This week was no exception.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to come back next week for my September Stamp Set of the Month reveal. And another set of videos with lots of fun ideas.
