The challenge will run until the end of the month so you have a bit of time to make something and leave us a link so that you'll be entered into our prize drawing!! More of that down below! Ok, this challenge is about Gel Medium! Get it out and use it! Gel Medium is a pretty versatile product, you can use it as an adhesive, use it to put a protective coating on a project or, as I did for today, use it for a neat Photo Transfer medium. I've made a little video to show you how I've done it - it's my very first video tutorial so be kind!! LOL! Why is it that we all hate our voice when we hear it as others do?
First a picture of my finished product.
As I said in the video I really had no idea what I was making when I started out, that's always a bit scary really but it's also half the fun! As I was making it, my girls were watching something on Netflix and I happened to glance over and see an image with these colors - it inspired me!
So go ahead, watch the video and give it a try - or try something completely different with Gel Medium! It's all about being creative!
Here are a few things to keep in mind for this challenge…
- You do not have to use products sold in the eP store…but we do love it when you do.
- Share a direct link to your creation, not just your blog, using the Linky Tools feature at the end of this post. If, for any reason, the Linky Tools doesn’t cooperate, please add a link in the Comments section of the blog.
- When uploading to any online galleries, please use any of the following keywords; eP, eclectic Paperie or eTeam Pick Challenge. Link your creations to the eP blog.
- If you’d like to be considered as one of our featured projects and be entered into our prize drawing, please be sure to add your link no later than midnight EST on June 1, 2013.

Great tutorial! I've used the transfer technique for adding patterned paper to canvas. Might try adding a photo to my art journal. Thanks so much.

thanks julie! i never thought to use my at home ink jet because everything i've seen has said 'you must use laser printed blah, blah, blah....' so since i'm too lazy to go to office depot, i've only done this a few times; but NOW it will probably become my new obsession!
So beautiful! I will have to give this technique a try!

A really good tutorial. You have inspired me! Often I feel a project is going to be ugly along the way and then I end up being pleased with it too! I'm off to buy Gel medium! x Julie Ann
