I gathered the following products:
- Gel Medium in Matte but you could also use the Gloss
- Paint
- Stamps (a detailed image won't work as well with this project)
- Paintbrushes
- Sticky Back Canvas
I decided to try both kinds of gel medium for this tutorial, just to see the difference between them. The matte is really thick, like flour paste. The gloss is thinner, a lot like Elmer's glue.

I painted each image with a thin layer of the gel, try not to goop the medium! I really gooped the "Happy" stamp on my project, it worked well, but these two stamps worked better if you kept the medium layer thin. I noticed the two varieties went on differently, the glossy was easier to get an even layer.


Once the medium is dry, I got dab of paint and watered it down, about half paint, half water.


Let me know if you try it, it's always fun to see what works and what doesn't. I make way more mistakes this way, but I learn alot!
