handmade cupcake stamp

I haven't had much luck with my gel transfers lately but that's the fun of doing them :) You couldn't really see the cupcake from the gel transfer so I googled cupcakes. I found one that I could use and then transferred (transfer paper) it on the page (right page) and painted with acrylics and then stamped the 'sprinkles' on.


The cupcake on the left is from a stamp that I made from a styrofoam meat tray. (watched your video)

After I stamped it on I painted it with watercolors. This is the first time I've made a stamp and was pleased with the results. Having so much fun even when I have no idea what I'm doing :) Thanks Milliande!

Thank you for submitting your art journal page


~ wow .. love the way the handmade cupckae stamp turned out ... looks brilliant ..

~ what gel medium are you using for your transfers ... I use goldens SOFT GEL MEDIUM ... the only one i have found to work well in almost all cases ... other brands even other types of goldens gel medium seem to be very temperamental .. but i get consistently good results with the soft gel medium across inkket printer transfer, and magazine gel transfers ...



thanks for sharing, happy art journaling
