bubble wrap is real fun on gel plates. my kids also like using the end of a paintbrush to draw pictures in it. of course the poop emoji caused big laughs!
Love mixed media and playing with my gelli plates. You can use stencils and household items and make really cool prints. You can also make prints using various inks instead of paint., I love using deli paper and also cut it up to use on my cards and scrapbooking. It makes me smile to see you using mixed media on your projects. TFS and have fun. Happy day
Ali Edwards I have used a comb, screws, wall plugs (raid your hubby’s tool box), children’s LEGO and even a golf ball and golf spike repairer lol. Drywall tape is cool too and great on projects using texture paste. You get some amazing patterns. Have fun. Love your work. Happy weekend
I learned about gelli plate printing a number of years ago. Haven’t done any lately, you’ve now inspired me to pull them out again. Another person to watch is Barbara Gray from Claritystamp, she has a number of RU-vid videos on this.
You can also roller from inkpads onto the gel plate to build up layers of colour - depending on the type of ink pad and type of paper you get really interesting results
Just bought a gel plate. And a Japanese brush pen. Thanks for keeping the creativity + story telling alive. Who was the other artist you mentioned? Julie something? Was hard to catch her last name. Thanks, Ali.
Doing Gelli prints is SO addicting! You’ll likely find yourself collecting all sorts of things for making marks into you Gelli plate - fruit bag netting, bubble wrap, cookie cutters, bottle caps, etc. :)
hello from Norway :) you have to use art printing, for eksempel from Caravelle studio, they are make it specially from gelli plate, they aren't mirrored :) but if you just use regular stamps is better without words. love to play with my gelli as well. Is addicted :D stencils work as well for gelli plate and letters :) I usually use die cuts, just in paper and it works really good :)
For the words issue with the jelly plate, what if you used a transparent paper like vellum or those deli sheets and then you could try flipping the paper over?
