If your botanical prints look good on their own—but don’t seem to work once you bring them into a collage—you’re not alone.

In this video, I’m focusing on one simple idea:
better prints make better collages.

I’ll walk you through three common problems I see with botanical gel prints, and how to fix them so your prints are easier to use, easier to layer, and much more effective in your collage work.

We’ll look at:
• how to get stronger contrast so your prints don’t disappear
• how to create larger botanical images using a small plate
• how to simplify busy prints so they’re easier to work with

These are small shifts in how you approach your printing—but they can make a big difference in how your collage comes together.
