I’ve been using a gelli plate for years, watch a lot of tutorials and have the attention span of a nat, but I’ve been watching your techniques and you are so creative! I’ve actually rewatched the last 3 many times and am in the process of trying this for my own prints! Thanks so much for sharing your talent, I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!😊

[@sheilacym]

Totally agree 😊😊

[@susansmithey5317]

[@CreatedandMadeStudios]

Thank you so much!! and I'll take that sponsor haha

[@FreeSpokenOne]

I have all of this stuff except larger gilding sheets but never get around to using them. I do have foil rolls but that wouldn’t work as well for this I don’t believe.This turned out so great and it makes me want to use my stencils as you have. How do you clean them afterward was my first question? Also I keep wondering if you’ve used dies for any of this type of work and how since I have several and am always looking for new ideas for using them. Thanks for sharing your process, your work is amazing pretty and stands out.

[@jennifersdoglife]

[@Corntassels]

I have found my boat afloat (I love this saying too lol) after watching your amazing technique! I cannot wait to try this, as I'm lucky enough to have some leaf in a drawer that I haven't used in ages. Your style of teaching and the way you explained things really hit home with me. I can't say how much it means that you took so much joy in your creations, as someone who is also endlessly fascinated by gel printing in general. The colors you chose, and the scale stencils were just outstanding and really interesting. I hit that sub button and can't wait to watch your other videos. Cheers and many thanks for the inspiration!

Are the two finished papers at the end, the ones that have the tree ring effect, embossed? Those are so cool!

[@jehuckphoto]

Did you find the sheets hard to get off the gelli plate? Maybe it was the type of sheet I was using.
