Hi Everyone and welcome to the Gelli Arts® blog! It’s Birgit here today showing you how to create a fun and easy background in your art journal using smaller Gelli Arts® gel printing plates.
The benefit of the smaller plates is that you can place them on an acrylic block and then use them as a stamp so you don’t have to flip your journal around all the time and have a better view on what you’re doing.
This week we’re collaborating with Hahnemühle so I’m using one of their beautiful A6 ZigZag books. The paper has a fine grained surface which gives the prints a bit of a textured (imperfect) look.
Have fun watching the video!
Thank you for stopping by today. Happy printing!
