Beautiful prints 😊👍🏽💓

Fantastic idea♥i suggest you leave the paper longer on top of your plate till it’s kind of dry .. it will lift all your print 😊thank you for sharing🌷

Loving the print. I always use a really thin layer on the last layer. Then leave it to sit for at least 10 minutes x

OMG! I would have been heartbroken because that second pull was going to be a beautiful print! I’m so glad you got it on the third try but, oh!, those colors on #2!

Woohoo. You got there! The trick is definitely less paint on the last layer (that white paint). You need just enough to ‘wet’, but if it’s too thick the paper just picks that up. And let it at least touch dry before the last pull. 🧡

Yes, and less paint on the last layer! If at first, we don't succeed, we try again, and again! 😀

Thank you for sharing fails and successes! I am new to gel plate printing and after watching dozens of videos where content creators got it on the first try, I started feeling like I just wasn't getting it with my 10% success rate. It's great to see someone else failing and then working it out!

That's way cool! Love it! Thanks for this vid.

that was cool... it ended up looking like the bird was high in a tree looking over a carnival!! TFS!

LOVE seeing your process! The mistakes and failures are real for all of us. I have deep respect for your process and your transparency! Great color choices, and great composition work-

Thank you so much!

Love this! Those glue gun stencils are AWESOME!!!!! How have I never thought of that?! Lol

Thank you, thank you. I have been looking for drying time. You are the only one that I found that explained it. Again, thank you. 😊

How beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for watching!

Victory! And it's beautiful. I've never seen that many layers tried.

Definelyly a case of third time lucky. Thanks for this great video

I like the one before the last one best! Thanks so much

Your colors and mixing on the plate looked beautiful. Great job. I liked this video because of your colors and watching you mix on the plate. It made a beautiful edge on the final print. I know you had a bit of a problem in the middle but it still was great watching. You explained everything so well.

Carnival wet tissue paper works great everytime. ❤

Beautiful colors! I sometimes have trouble with my gel plates failing to release the paint--especially when I've used metallics. In that case, I usually re-condition them with a light coat of baby oil and let them sit overnight to soak it in. Seems to work well in terms of better paint release for subsequent prints.

Thank you for the tip!

Thank you for keeping it real 😊

Thank you for sharing it. Love it. I'll try it myself 😊

Wow such gorgeous colours❤❤❤

I love it. X

I just love the colours of the successful print! Are they the same colours as the first print? Thank you :)

I love this! If it wasn’t the middle of the night and I should really be sleeping, I’d be trying this out right now. However I will now fall asleep thinking of what colours and stencils I will use.

It's SOOO BEAUTIFUL! The imperfections are great ❤

Thank you so much!!

I often use just as much paint for my last layer as you did. I use my hairdryer to speed up the drying process.

The trick is patience......💖

I liked it so much I subscribed :)

Success!

What about trying to lift it with matte medium. Let it dry, then pull.

I think it's OK but I would check because some things can damage the gelli plate.

I thought you had to wait until the final layer was dry before you lift the final layer.

When you are making the glue stencils, what do you use underneath so it doesn't stick 😮

I used a smooth glass cutting board. You can use plexiglass or glass from a picture frame as well.

​@@KarenElaine Thankyou very much!

Use rice paper

Copy paper or card stock… keep it simple!!!

My failure rate is about 15:1.

I would say that your layer of white paint was far too thick! Most people are guilty of the same thing, you should be able to see the image you are trying to lift, through the final layer of lift paint! Then give it time to transfer!

agree. plus the bottom layers must be completely dry before pulling with reactivation layer.
