Have fun experimenting with a gel plate and create gorgeous layered botanical themed prints with this kit! Gel plate printing is a form of printing using a soft jelly-like plate to capture stencil outlines and textures in thin layers of paint. This kit is a wonderful introduction to the craft and contains everything you need to learn the basics of this fascinating printing technique.
Bev's video tutorial walks you through some of the possibilities of gel plate printing and gives you a firm foundation for your own printing experiments. You will finish the tutorial with a bank of prints, each totally unique, and you can select your favourites to mount into the provided card blanks. The finished cards made wonderful gifts!
This kit contains:
- homemade biodegradable gel plate*
- print roller
- 20 sheets of white paper
- 3 x 10ml bottles of acrylic paint, in blue, orange and green
- 10 aperture cards and envelopes
- template sheet
- kitchen roll texture sheet
- 9 YouTube video tutorials (with subtitles)
* Please note that the gelli print is made from gelatine
You can complete all the video tutorials in an evening or two, but this is a great craft to pick up and put down as you please so you could do it in short bursts as well.
