Beautiful backgrounds! Thanks for showing different ways to use the gel press!

[@julieyoung2059]

Thanks Lou, your videos really help me be more confident using my gel plate 😊

[@lindastubbington6105]

I made some backgrounds exactly like this last week. I used your half tone leaves and two different green oxides. Really pleased with the results.

[@SweetPeaCuriosities]

What a great way to use your ink stamps. Thank you 🩷

[@lynnehodson]

Love the tip of using the acetate to press the stamps into the gel plate and then being able to pick up ALL the stamps at once. Love the second stamping onto the white. Hugs Lynne xx

[@LouCollins]

Thanks so much!

[@mandyhall1674]

Love the way the leaves one came out Lou, gorgeous. Thanks and have a great day.

[@bethrogers5656]

Thank you for this tip, lovely way to use DOI and stamps! Your dragonfly is one of my fave stamps!

[@maxinethomas9380]

My gel plate and I really don’t get on. 😂. I’ve tried many times and just don’t like what I produce. It could be the colours I use I’m not sure. I have never tried with stamps though, so will definitely give this a go. I really like what you’ve done here. Thanks so much for your tutorials. 💕

[@johnarosser6400]

Love these!!!

[@Dotalina33]

Sooo inspiring!

[@hazelyoung2046]

Great tips xx

[@laurifall8003]

Thanks, Lou. I haven't used a gel plate but just got one from a craft thrift store. Now I need a brayer.

[@cindyrobinson2199]

I need to get my gel plate out again.

[@Mari-cre8s]

Love the way the DO’s blend!! Very, very pretty!🧑🏼‍🎨💗

[@vickienipp]

Great technique Lou. Fab tutorial. You are so easy to follow. Thanks so much 🥰

[@theresemilne2539]

I definitely need to use mine more. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@sandrasimpey1712]

I need to try this one day x

[@paula-xmoonlitfaeryx]

Lovely demo. I really should play with my gel plate more. Thank you Lou x

[@michelegourd5742]

Thanks so much for sharing Lou!! I have not used my gel plate much but I will now!!!

[@louiseadams5437]

[@janetfrain9330]

Great tips thanks Lou, I have a gel plate which I havent used yet, you make it look so easy I must try it.

[@jilldigwood4328]

Great ideas, thanks for sharing 😊

[@LouCollins]

You are so welcome!

[@Jackin2002]

I really enjoy your videos, do you know if they will be restocking magnolia half-tone? That is a beautiful set as well!

[@LouCollins]

I'm not sure at the moment but I will shout if they do!

[@joycehuff9769]

I know it’s a lot of work but I keep looking for new charts with scorched timber. Do you have a date it will be finished by?

[@bethjackson8727]

I too am curious if cardstock works.

[@LouCollins]

Yes it will x

[@kathrynshortt5461]

Can you use card stock?

[@anneslinger2189]

Absolutely! Paper is just cheaper

[@ruth6511]

So how do you use the finished print if it is on copy paper. Not sturdy enough to adhere to cardstock?

[@LouCollins]

I use mine on some cards here How To Use Gel Plate Prints in Card Making - Beautiful Backgrounds and Layers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIiaoJ2Oep1gldk

[@anneslinger2189]

Beautiful backgrounds. I need to get my gel plate out to play (but i have to find the top of my desk first 😂) Also, side note... when pronouncing the purple color Villainous potion.... a bad guy is a "villain" and then just add "us" , so it is "vill- an- us"

[@Taaleedee]

Why do you use paper? Can you use white card?

[@nikkiobrien2345]

You can use card as well

[@LouCollins]

Yes. you can use card, I only use inexpensive paper for playing :-)
