Gel Press-a-Palooza

I spent my weekend enjoying a virtual Gel Press Retreat. 

I used my 5" x 7" press and learned lots of new techniques, including a good way to store it without getting bubbles (an ongoing problem I've had).

One of my favorite techniques using bleach resulted in this wonderful card.

 

The flower is from Sketchbook Florals from Taylored Expressions with a sentiment from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Background.

The background is a piece of paper I painted using leftover paint from yesterday's art journal page (I'm learning not to throw anything away ... you never know when you can use it).

 

And another fun technique was printing on Deli Paper backed with adhesive to make our own washi tape.  So much fun.
