I wanted to create some gel prints with some texture in the acrylic paint but needed the texture to be small in scale as the gel prints will be used in a future class. Gel prints are always such a great background to use for ATCs and cards and because of the versatility of acrylic paint on the paper, it can handle stamping and embossing, die-cuts and images equally well. This means it is truly a fantastic basic background to build your design onto. I discovered amongst my stash some clear, lightweight plastic texture plates that I had from using with air-dry clay years ago and these work perfectly to add small scale texture to the acrylic paint. These are all a one-pull print so no waiting for paint to dry, so you do need to work quickly to get the pull done before the paint dries on the plate.
