Collage the Blues

You might wonder what I do with all my gel prints, and believe me I have many, many gel prints! If I got rid of the partial prints that didn’t really work I would have less to deal with but sometimes the partial prints can become favourite cards or journal pages.
To create this collage of blues I tore a couple of partial prints into squares and stamped the delicate stamp from Darkroom Door’s nature walk set at different angles on the the squares. I put these ‘scraps’ back together and the partial prints brought shades of blue, pops of white and bits of pattern and texture.
So, how many gel prints is too many? You can’t have too many!

Totally delightful! Actually, with the colors and stamps, I see many Christmas cards using just some of those delicious squares!
Thank you, and you’re right about the Christmas card idea!
A fellow “blue” lover, this card is over the moon gorgeous, Ms. Heather!
I was pretty sure the blue fans would like this one as I did!
I love the look of this card with the two blue toned gelli print pieces made into squares which work together brilliantly Heather, and the added stamping using that very pretty DD stamp is just the finishing touch it needs. x
It is amazingly beautiful!
What size card did this make and what is the size of your squares? Thank you!

The card is 5.5″ x 4.25″ and the squares are 1 3/8″
I love this idea and love the matching gel prints with that stamp set! My gel prints don’t match as well as yours do but I know I have to try this. Thanks for the inspiration!
That’s fantastic – thanks for the inspiration!!
This is so creatively beautiful, Heather! Great way to use your gel prints. xx
