Gel Printed Spooky Windows: A Papercraft

What You Will Learn?

• Gel Printed Spooky Windows creates a lovely papercraft using gel printed papers, an overlay*, and basic paper cutting, to create a mysterious window..
• This project is made of papers, using acrylic paint, an inkjet transparency*, and dark cardstock. .
• Tailor the window to your own likes, using the colors, shapes, and silhouettes that appeal to you. .
• We’ll start by pulling prints using the gel plate and repurposed materials for making impressions. I use bubble wrap and fabric in the demo, but you can use any textured material that won’t damage your gel plate. (Think corrugated cardboard, textured papers, ribbon, fabric, or packaging materials.) Then, select the window from the Spooky Windows Template, and cut panes from the paper. Then, print out the silhouettes onto an inkjet transparency, OR * sketch the silhouettes using a marker, pencil, or pen by tracing the Frightful Overlay Template. Both templates are included for you to download..
• Finally, assemble your spooky window to use in your art journal, as a greeting card, or framed for artwork..
