Here is my process:

Step 1 – Randomly apply small amounts of Calypso Teal, Fresh Lime, and Bubblegum Pink Dylusions paints to Gel Press Plate.

Step 2 – Use Brayer to spread paint on Gel Press Plate as shown. Be careful not to muddy the colors by over-blending. If desired press, Joggles Stencils – Punchinella Quintet – Minis [10-33784] onto Gel Press and remove to create texture.

Step 3 – Press the 3  x 5 inch Accordion book pages onto Gel Press Plate.

Step 4 – Lift off to pull print and let dry.

Step 5 – Repeat the steps above to finish printing all pages as desired.

Step 6 – Using the same method and colors, pull prints onto Vanilla card stock. Let dry.

Step 7 – Using Foam Brush, apply White Linen Dylusions Paint over Joggles Stencils – Flowerburst [10-33746].

Step 8 – Continue to add pattern and texture by moving the stencil and applying White Linen Dylusions paint as desired. Let dry. Here’s a close up:

Step 9 – Using Foam Brush or a Ranger Inkssentials Mini Ink Blending Tool, apply Bubblegum Pink Dylusions Paint through Joggles Stencils – Punchinella Quintet – Minis [10-33784] as desired.

Step 10 – Add more Bubblegum Pink Dylusions paint throughout Accordion Book. Let dry.

Step 11 – Using Ink Blending Tool, apply Dylusions Black Marble Paint over Joggles Stencils – Spills & Splatters [10-33760].

Step 12 – Continue adding paint over stencil as desired and let dry.

Step 13 – Stamp images onto Vanilla card stock using Jet Black Archival Ink. Allow to dry.

Step 14 – Stamp the dress, hair bow, and shoes from the images again as well as the sentiments onto gel printed vanilla paper created earlier.

Step 15 – Fussy cut around the dresses, bows, and shoes as well as the sentiment fragments from the printed images. Fussy cut the plain vanilla paper images on the outside lines so you have the complete girls. Adhere the printed portions over the corresponding sections of the uncolored images to give them colorful clothes and accessories. Sponge the edges of each image with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and adhere to Accordion Book using Gel Medium.

Step 16 – If desired, add some Fresh Lime Dylusions Paint through the Flowerburst stencil to brighten up some of the pages. Continue to add sentiments and images with gel medium as desired.

Here’s a look again at my finished Accordion Book.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create art!
