I'm learning so much by watching you, Teresa.

My favourite part of your videos is the final products at the end

@ghaliaasaid2131 2 года назад

I think they are really beautiful prints and the cards are very nice and elegant, thank you.

@nikkiobrien2345 2 года назад

Great to see the distress inks can be used - i bought up a bunch of those before I'd even heard about oxides, so had wondered how i could use them with my gelli plate

Thank You for showing how to.use this , I don’t have one yet but thinking of buying one. I am an artist and paint watercolor paintings.

Wow, I’ve watched a few of you gelli plate videos now and I want to thank you, I think I will get mine back out and have another go with it 😊.

First time seeing you. Very concise instructions. Thank you

Thanks for watching!

Hi Teresa love this I do it myself and just to add if people don’t not like the first pull they can spritz the paper lightly as the inks will reactivate and you get a different effect with som areas of white you can also dry the ink between with a heat tool if you do not want them to mix at all between layers.

Thank you for such a useful, informative video. ☺️

I quit using my gelli plate because of this beading up problem with the distress inks. I am not a plastic paint type of person. So I thank you for this demo. The secret is using watercolor paper. YES!!!

@terriwilbanks9748 3 года назад

@loribeck7496 2 года назад

Great video! I'll have to try this with watercolor paper...

@victorialynch6350 2 года назад

This is a great video, thank you for sharing. I loved the cards so much I ordered a couple of the stamps as well! Also, your ring is fabulous! Labradorite, if I'm not mistaken. One of my favorite stones.

@TeresaMorgan 2 года назад

Thank you!! Yes, well spotted, my ring is labradorite, such a pretty yet underrated stone.

@alituttle-easton8857 3 года назад

@@TeresaMorgan I think this was my favorite one I have seen with the gel plate and inks. Loved it. That two toned blue and purple was wonderful and made me want to try it.

@whiteherondesigns 3 года назад

I watch you frequently and have subscribed, but don't comment very often, but I just wanted to say thank you for all your inspiration and ideas. You explain and demonstrate so clearly and I love having a go at your ideas with my own gel plates, it is very addictive!! TFS 😀

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

Wow, thank you! So glad you are a regular viewer.

@noeliagutierrezgalera2523 3 года назад

Hi Teresa, I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. Such a treat! I love how you keep it real, explain everything clearly and share your creations. Thanks a lot!

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

You are welcome - thank you!

@WendyColeArt 2 года назад

You are hands down the best at making prints and it's so easy to follow your process because you are so organized. I love these prints you made. I'm assuming that any dye ink would work the same as the distress ink?

@TeresaMorgan 2 года назад

Thank you so much. I did a recent video using different inks and stamps on the gel plate. You can see how dye inks react there.

@debbienoblesknowles 3 года назад

Hi Teresa, Fairly new to paper crafting and have been trying to get new ideas for cardmaking...I came across this video and it was just what I was looking for because I have a gel plate, but been afraid to use it😁. Now I think I will be brave and try these different techniques you have shared with us...thank you so much for sharing your creativity and given me inspiration to try something new. Looking forward to watching more of your videos ❣🤗

I never realized how versatile the gel plates are. I loved this instructional video so much, I ordered a gel plate and a brayer to practice with. Heartfelt thanks for this most excellent tutorial!! ❤💐

@fosmert877 3 года назад

I am surprised you did not use your brayer to rub the paper to get the impression. I like the information regarding the distress inks compared to the distress oxide inks.

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

I prefer to use my hands, I can feel what I am doing better.

@Perivale 3 года назад

Wonderful as usual. And yes, seeing your final prints as cards is inspirational! May I add, I'm trying out gel printing because of you. Thank you for sharing your talent.

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

That makes me so happy to hear - glad you are enjoying the videos.

@callmejacki 3 года назад

I have been viewing so many videos and I was one of the ones asking if you could use distress inks on a gelli plate! i really appreciate how clear and detailed your explanations are here of the differences between the two types of inks. I am new to the gelli plate and can't wait to start playing. I'm so glad I found this post today!

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

@kandrews6356 3 года назад

Nice background creations Teresa; I, like you, thought the 2nd lighter backgrounds were more up my alley, but I can see uses for all of them. Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge with us; enjoy watching your videos so much. Please stay safe and have a great upcoming week.

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

Thanks so much 😊

@cassfonnesbeck8057 3 года назад

If you brayer over the ink you can get a more blended color transition. I also like to use plain cardstock. It seems to work quite well. I dont much like the bumpy watercolor paper. I do enjoy watching different techniques!

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

Great tip!

Thanks for the video. Have you tried distress paint on a gell plate?

@TeresaMorgan 3 года назад

Not yet!

@sandratimm8289 2 года назад

Do you have to put something on top of this to be able to use for collage?

@sueflynn5671 2 года назад

Don't you have to be careful after using the first ink pad that the 2 ink pad doesn't get the first ink color on it?I did some smouching with the oxide and noticed a bit of the 1 st pad onto the 2nd pad.I want to be more careful. I just learned the difference of the 2 kinds of ink pads by this video. I just have the oxides. I am enjoying the videos so much Thank you. I tried the magazine page but it didn't work out so I noticed a 2nd video with the magazine page so I will watch that.I need to know if the layers have to be dry first.I will pay better attention Thank you very much

@TeresaMorgan 2 года назад

I do try to avoid cross contaminating the ink pads . If a bit of stray ink gets on there I just swipe the pad on clean paper to remove most of it.
