Wedding Card/Gift Tag Gel using Plate Monoprint with VIDEO TUTORIAL ~ Scraps of Elegance July Kit

Mixed Media Wedding Card and Tag, Gel Press, Prima Flowers, BoBunny Butterfly Kisses, Petaloo, Prills

I have been wanting to try my hand at creating monoprints using a gel plate for quite some time, but have never gotten around to purchasing one. I was absolutely delighted to receive the July Creativity Add On featuring the Gel Press. My video today is a technique video showing how I created the monoprints used in this mixed media wedding card and tag set. The paint colors Melinda selected coordinate so beautifully with the gorgeous "Sunshine and Sweet Tea" July Scraps of Elegance Kit.

I hope you enjoy this technique video tutorial:
