Happy New Year!  Let’s start the year off with another fun technique using the gel plate. This month you’ll be creating overlays for your lovely prints.  Printing on acetate has its own unique processes.  You’ll be stamping with Stazon and/or acrylic paint, then blocking the image before adding textural elements to fill in the background using the gel plate.

I’ll take you through the process step by step. Papers and acetates for printing will be supplied, including the use of stamps, stencils and art foamies.

Bring with you basic monoprinting supplies, including…….Gel plate & brayer, Apron, table cover, Stencils, Acrylic paints, Paper towels, wet wipes, Black Stazon ink pad, Heat gun, Palette knife/card scraper, Variety of brushes & water cup, Paper trimmer, scissors, ruler (straight edge), mark making and/or texture tools and a variety of stamps & Art foamies (optional).

Winter Wolf is the theme for the last journal page of the year!  You’ll be working with the lovely papers from Stamperia in the Cosmos line.  I used a sheet of the wolf rice paper for the focal point, and picked up the blues and purples in the paper using distress ink strategically placed in certain areas to enhance the design.  All that’s left to do is add a bunch of gold accents – gold pen work, gold mica flakes, and gold foil, and many tips for working with gold details.

Bring basic supplies, including: Apron, Non-stick mat, Art Journal of your choice, Paper trimmer, Detail scissors, Tweezers, Paper towels, wet wipes, Brushes & water cup, Wet adhesive (Scotch, Nuovo, Art Glitter), Glue stick (UHU), Distress Ink pads – Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet (or any other blues and purples you have), Foam applicators, Gesso, Soft Gel medium, Anything gold! (eg. Metallic pen, Art Alchemy rubs, etc).
