Discover the magic of negative shapes as I create a unique art journal page using scraps from previous gel printing sessions. In this video, I’ll show you how to turn leftover paper cutouts and shapes into a stunning collage composition full of texture, layers, and creativity.
You’ll see how I select my papers, arrange my composition, and build depth with color and contrast. This process is relaxing, intuitive, and the perfect way to use every bit of your gel prints — nothing goes to waste!
