7 Practical Reasons I use a Gel Plate with Stencils

There are 7 practical reasons why I gel print with stencils. These are in no particular order, except my #1 reason. It might be a bit controversial as a practical reason, but it is the most important thing I get from gel printing. Stencil-rific Layers details and registration bit.ly/3t1sa4Q

Want to play? Want to know specific ways to let go and have fun? Join the fun in my free mixed media workshop Permission to Play acolorfuljourn...
You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on KZbin and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

[@laraynespiczka3185]

Kinda new to this so wondering Why do you always use tubes of paint as compared to the little bottles of paint?

[@CarolynDube]

It's really personal preference. I like using that brand of paint for gel printing, it's a reasonable price since I print a lot, and I like how easily the paint comes out.
