Use Your Prints: Gel Print Fish Collage

I had so much fun creating last week's collage, that I decided to create another. This time I show you how to create a painted background, use your gel plate to help add stamped details to the canvas, then create a colourful fishy collage using printed papers and clean up papers.

I’ve loved snorkelling for years, and have really missed it when we can’t travel - I really want to give this a go, which will really challenge my desire to make any fish life-like … thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you - it is very kind of you to say that x

This is perfect timing! I follow your videos and love them - and have an upcoming card theme of sea creatures.

Thanks for this. I’ve always wondered what to do with my pile of prints - problem solved!

I love this project. It turned out beautifully. I have made some fab collage papers out of rice paper and am looking to try a first collage project x

Super nice project!

This canvas is fabulous! I would hang that in my bathroom. Love all the colors. I am going to give this a try. Hopefully it will as beautiful as yours!

Looks like a lot of fun. I think I'd be intimidated by that large of a canvas. 8x10 has been my largest collage to date.

Your canvas is beautiful, have just come across your Chanel I have subscribed.I have just acquired a gel plate it was in a craft box that I purchased it’s only 5x7. Haven’t been too successful at the moment but persevering. Had a play this morning got my paper stuck on the plate oh what a mess. Will have a good look at your videos to see what I can learn. 👍❤

Do you have a video on applying varnish? I have ruined several nice pieces with bad varnish technique and I've got a great background for something like this thanks.
