Time to get inky with my Gel Press and Christmas card backgrounds. I decided to play with re-inkers and some embossing folders. Here is what backgrounds look like:

Nothing that amazing to start- pretty simple too. Let’s start with the video tutorial that shows you how to make the backgrounds. Grab your gel press, some holiday colored re-inkers and someday dry embossed layers!
