Since I had fun making my confetti gel cards and loved the look of them, I decided to make one for my grandson. He is a big fan of the Dog Man book series so I made a copy of a Dog Man image, sprayed it with a matte clear coating and cut it out. Like the previous gel cards (see earlier post) I placed gel and confetti in a small baggie before sealing it with glue. This baggie was then glued into a decorated window card which had a piece of white card stock behind the gel bag.
I couldn't resisit making a Dog Man gift card with the extra image that was printed. I sized the image to fit a small card and envelope that I had in my stash. The result of this card was so pleasing that I think I'll find out the favorite characters of other relatives to make them gel birthday cards too! What other gel crafts can I create?

Seeing your confetti gel cards has definitely piqued my interest in this medium. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects and fun ways you use this gel. Wondering... Does spraying your printed image with matte coating give it a sheen or make it resistant to smudges?
Thanks for your interest in my techniques. The matte spray does give a slight gloss to the printed image and also makes it somewhat water resistant. Thanks for reading my posts and your technique process questions. Hugs!
