Gel Printing with Plants
Using plants from your home or local area, let's create gorgeous plant prints!
Some ideas I have are: use black paper and white acrylic paint, or blue paints to create a faux cyanotype look.
Of course, there is always the option to use all of the colors and simply PLAY!
It will be a great time no matter what you choose.
Suggested Supplies:
- gel plate
- plants (real or fake)
- acrylic paints
- soft rubber brayer
- paper for printing onto (cardstock, copy paper, book pages)

Collage Cards
What do you do with all of those wild and amazing gel prints? You make cards, of course!
We'll use simple formats, such as grids and stripes, to create wonderful flat cards.
We'll also discuss using focal points for an additional design punch!
Suggested Supplies:
- flat cards (cardstock or thin cardboard cut to your size preference)
- collection of gel printed papers, including solids and b&w
- glue stick or matte medium
- plastic card for burnishing
- scissors and/or paper slicer (hand-tearing is also an option)
