Got a stack of gel prints you love but don’t know what to do with them? In this video, I’ll show you how I turn printed papers from a recent gel printing session into a finished 8x10 collage artwork. You’ll see how one transparent paper makes all the difference—it allows layers to interact beautifully without covering everything up!
This is an easy and inspiring way to transform your prints into real art. If you’re new to collage you’ll walk away with ideas for layering, composition, and finishing touches so your prints don’t just sit in a drawer.
📌 What you’ll learn:
How to choose gel prints that work together
Using transparency to create depth and dimension
Composition tips for small format collage
Finishing techniques to make your piece gallery-ready
🎨 Grab your prints and join me for this fun collage adventure!

I like the approach of creating the structured collage background and then adding a contrasting element for a focal point. Thanks so much for sharing.
