Heavy gel medium is exactly what its name says, a gel with a very thick consistency which, amongst many other uses, is perfect for gluing larger embellishments to your projects. For my example I selected various size, shapes and colour beads to create a really striking background.
This is what you'll need
Supplies
Heavy gel medium
Beads in several colours and shapes
ATC size board or cardstock
Marker
Step One: Using a marker draw a design on your ATC card to use as a guideline.
Step Two: Add some heavy gel medium to a small section of your ATC. It is advisable to work in small sections at one time to minimize the mess and to make it easier to place your beads according to your design.
Step Three: Begin placing your beads in the allocated areas of your design as shown above.
Three easy steps to creating a gorgeous textured background. You can use this technique on other projects like tags, inchies and cards. It would also look fabulous as part of a background for a scrapbooking layout.
Love this idea... so pretty!
