Alcohol Ink & Stencil on the Gel Plate
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Recently I posted a bright patterned card and readers wanted to know how I did it. This video shows a simple technique with alcohol inks and stencils on a gel plate pulled off with a layer of paint. It is the technique that keeps on giving because there is usually alcohol ink left on the stencil after one print to do two or three more. Watch to the end to see a couple of cards I made with the prints. Visit my blog for more details on the cards and the earlier one using the same technique.

Thank you, Christine.
Thank you for sharing your work with us. These prints are lovely.
very nice, but better if you use a small amount of of hand sanitiser first brayered on, it helps to spread the inks
Wow! Gorgeous prints!
I think I like the second print the best, this is so neat, love the stencil you used!

Thank you. I often like the second print better with it's muted tones
Keep forgetting this technique; I have a gel plate and alcohol inks. Note to self an airco is nice buuuut not so handy when your table is in front of it. I can still see a hose of confetti spray on the airco machine. Husband; at least it shows artsy love..... bwahaha imagine if that was on my curtains :P
This was a great tutorial! Curious why you use the white paint & not take a print directly without it?

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I used white paint to pull the print because the technique with the stencil required the alcohol ink to dry on the plate. Once it is dry I need the thin layer of wet paint to lift everything.

Thanks...always wondered!@@heathertelfordart
Very nice! You said you used printer paper and not card stock. I'm curious as to whether the printer paper warped? and what glue you would use to hold it onto the card itself?

So glad you liked the technique. When I pulled the print with printer paper the alcohol ink was dry and the paint was a very thin layer so the paper didn't warp. I use double sided adhesive sheets or roll to attach the panel to my card front but you could use a glue stick.
