Easy, colourful Gel press backgrounds

Hello, I hope you have had a good week!

This week’s post invites you to explore the creation of quick and easy backgrounds using a gel press, a stencil, some elements ink and distress oxide sprays. I love the combination of the chalky oxides with the elements ink. I then layered on the stamping using foliage stamps. A touch of gold acrylic paint enhanced the texture and colouring and splattering with posca pens added the final details.

I ended up with these four pictures.

Perfect cards for any occasion. Just add a sentiment and maybe even a creature or fairy amongst the foliage!

Also, I finally updated my online artwork shop and am running a sale on some of the older paintings. You can check the shop out Here

Also a huge thank you to my YouTube membership. If you are interested in extra monthly tutorials and a dedicated Facebook group see my YouTube home page menu for members – see the join tab or the membership tab across the top.

That’s all for this week.

I hope you find the video helpful.

Love, Lisa xx
