These paints look awesome so many beautiful colors thank you for teaching us how to do this technique. I have two questions one how do you clean your stencil off after using it or do you clean it #2 I think it was Cathleen Ozmore I think said that you sell papers that have pictures of doors on them or is it something I have to download? thank you again for being a fabulous teacher

[@FroyleArt]

I don’t clean the stencils unless I use paste or gels 👍🏼 yes I have download papers beautiful Italian doors 😍 www.froyleart.com/shop/p/doors-of-italy-digital-paper happy creating, cheers 😘

Hi Froyle, I am wondering if the paper you get around flowers is wet strength tissue, what do you think? thanks for the reminder about the basics.

[@ochervelvet9687]

Do you have any plans to release your tiny dance moves as a stencil set? I’ve seen them as downloadable collage papers at your web site, but I’d love to see them as stencils.

Funny you should ask!! 😂 It’s coming soon! 👍🏼 😘

Yes but the mask print will be in a negative & the ghost print is the positive 👍🏼 so much fun!! 😘 cheers

[@susanmarcoux7005]

Why don't you take the stencil off and put the wet side down onto its own piece of paper? I haven't actually tried it myself yet as I've only done gelli printing once but I imagine it would give you something usable as another print to add to ❤

[@avanellehansen4525]

Sometimes that works, but if you're using a thin layer, not much transfers. Also, the plate is drying out while you goof around with paints stencils. Yes, you can pit a pick up layerb9n, but you've lost to opportunity for a ghost print.

[@FroyleArt]

Yes I have done that before, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on how dry the paint has become. Most times it just sticks to the paper!
