Do you have more gel prints than you know what to do with? Are some of them not very interesting or only partial prints? I definitely answer yes to both those questions. I keep finding though, that the grungy prints make really nice backgrounds for journal pages and cards.

I have many of my gel prints sorted by colour so I pulled several 6 x 6 prints from the blue folder and used them on a few different cards. I also had green, yellow and gold toned prints on hand to make some multicoloured cards; I’ll share them another day. To create this card I cut the blue gel prints with a rectangle die then arranged them like tiles over a navy background before trimming end to fit.

I added a die-cut flower from the Tim Holtz vault wildflowers set and a little Penny Black sentiment. If you like blue then maybe this multi-print collage will please you as much as it did me!

Clever idea x beautiful card too
I think this is a beautiful card in tones of blue Heather, and the tile effect using your pieces of gelli prints looks great as a background for the die cut flower and a sweet little sentiment to finish. x
What a clever way to use up gelli prints and love the effect! How fun is this. What wonderful inspiration to use up my own. Thanks for all your ideas.
[…] I posted several ’tiled’ collage cards on the blog and mentioned there would be more to come. […]
A clever idea and a beautifully finished card Heather. I love the colours.
