Hi Everyone,
While I previously showed you how to make a shadow box out of an old book, I decided to make another video showing you the exact measurements and easy steps to creating a shadow box for your gel print art using a vintage Reader's Digest book. I have enjoyed creating small pieces of collage using my gel prints and found objects. I especially like how they look in the colorful patterned Reader's Digest Books. If you'd like to see some of the other art projects I've created using gel prints, check out the entire playlist here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLZLDkP8ZTq05aBxe7Rh3-WO1un71ybk9
If you don't want to make your own gel prints, I've created Gel Print Paper Pack Vol. 1 which contains 36 of my favorite gel prints from my last session. You can find them here in my Etsy Shop and print them out at home: heartandsoulful.etsy.com/listing/4324166628/gel-print-paper-pack-vol-1digital
