Easy Gel Plate And Brayer Backgrounds - Summer Of Stamping Ice Cream Stand Mama Elephant

Today I’m sharing a simple background technique using the Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate and a brayer.  These soft, blended backgrounds are quick, easy and oh so dreamy!

I’m featuring the brand new Essentials By Ellen Summer of Stamping 2022 exclusive collaboration stamp set called Ice Cream Stand.  This stamp set, and coordinating dies were designed by Mama Elephant, exclusively for EllenHutson.com.  Grab them while you can!  This set is super sweet!

Gel plate backgrounds are so easy and a quick way to add color without a lot of effort.  No two backgrounds ever seem to turn out alike…but it’s a fun technique to try if you don’t feel like creating!  Make a few colorful backgrounds and see if the creative juices don’t start flowing.

I hope you’ll join me and some of my crafty friends over on Instagram today.  We are celebrating this fabulous new release with an Instagram hop.  It’s going to be full of fun, inspiration and prizes.  Click HERE to head to my Instagram profile now and join in on the fun!

Be sure to watch today’s video tutorial, where I’ll share three cards featuring these gel plate backgrounds.  I’ll give you some tips and tricks for making your backgrounds smooth and share a fun shaker card!
