Dear Denise, You are so wonderful! Such a beautiful human being. Your generosity and kindness shine whether your hair is done or not. That stuff doesn't matter to us. (And *done* hair and other outward appearance issues are overrated.) We love you! Thank you for your time, your generous instruction and inspiration, and for sharing your art Hugs (virtual ones, as of this writing we're still in quarantine), Kay.

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much. Such kind, sweet words. I really appreciate it. Lol on your virtual hug comment

[@kkthom1235]

Thank you for sharing your time in this creative community!! 🤗🤗🤗 big hugs!!

[@DeniseLush]

@@kkthom1235 Thank you!

[@carolynshanks2612]

You are a lovely artist and please continue to do videos. You have a very nice voice and the fact that you do not use music is peaceful. You are right, any noise made by husbands is acceptable!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much!

[@delesprie86]

Yes to, stencils and stamps you like the most. Thank you for yr wonderful tips

[@DeniseLush]

You are so welcome!

[@karenjoy9997]

Yes! I would love to see more videos, with your favorite stencils, and also to see a video using those stencils which are not your favorite stencils for a challenge. I have a bunch of stencils, that I don’t like and wish I could use .

[@DeniseLush]

oh boy! One where I use stencils I DON'T like! I knew I should have thrown them out. lol

[@TerriShaver1]

Gosh. I wish I had a fraction of the stencils and stamps you have. They’re all gorgeous. Well done and beautiful papers!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much! I was a part a TCW Brand Ambassador for a couple years. Accumulated a lot of stencils during that time. lol

[@artisterrant2234]

You need to remember that we all are watching you b/c you are just that good plus you give us new ideas! So please stop apologizing for everything! It gives us the wrong impression. Its OK to not be perfect. If you don't know a product name, find out later and put it in your comments. Sometimes families makes noise-- but aren't they a blessing; and it shows that we can still art with them around. And never ever apologize for your husband-- he's being supportive (tell him he's your hero! you're so lucky to have him!!). Most of all, don't put yourself down b/c you're doing a great job! You're putting yourself out there for all to see and succeeding admirably. God for you!! Thanks for your hard work!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you. This was a voice over for the video. So I had looked and looked for the product and couldn't find it. That's why I was apologizing, cause people do want the links. When I apologize about my husbands noise, I wasn't apologizing as in how rude of him or anything like that. I don't think he is doing anything wrong. He's doing what he loves, as I am doing what I love. And he was doing something for me! lol I was just apologizing in case it was annoying for viewers to hear. I think it's a Canadian thing. We're too polite and apologize for everything. It's not that we're ashamed or anything like that. We just don't want to inconvenience people or annoy. It's meant in that way. lol I will try to apologize less. lol Thanks

[@glendamattera5209]

[@robinsutton4952]

I’m watching this while at a friend’s, house sitting and dog sitting. I just brought all my supplies. So I know what you mean, you may or may not use but you have to have all with you. I’ve also enjoyed your videos on gel printing. I’m was so afraid to just play and make mistakes. But in the end it’s just for me. I’ve cut apart those mistakes and made flowers, strips for borders, quirky butterflies. TYFS.

[@DeniseLush]

Yes exactly!!!! That's awesome that you've gotten over the fear of making mistakes. I'm still guilty of it at times. But it is just paint and paper. Lots more where they came from. And like you have done, often there are parts that we like!!! Have fun!!!!

This is one of my most favorite videos ever. Watching your process as you played with your printing supplies was such a pleasure, and almost a zen experience in relaxing. You have a lovely voice, and a great creative eye. I thought you looked great. I'm glad that I'm a subscriber!

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you so much> So sweet of you to say!

[@HeidiLilley]

[@DeniseLush]

Yes I have built up quite the collection! lol

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Don't worry about looks, Denise, you look just fine and you have the nicest voice, I love how you talk quietly about what you are doing. I much prefer your style to some excited chat. I would love to see you working with your favorite self made stencils. I can't afford to buy those fancy stencils, they are so expensive, so I'm making my own. It would be very helpful to see your expertise with those, if possible.

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks Brigitte. I don't have a LOT of self made stencils. I have thought about getting a Scan N' Cut so I could make more of my own. But I haven't seriously looked into it. Maybe one day. A Christmas gift from hubby one year maybe. Do you have a Silhouette? You could use that to cut some. Or just simply draw and cut construction paper. It won't be as durable, but you can always make another when it tears!

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

@@DeniseLush yes, I used plastic sheets to cut stencils into and I made texture plates out of all sorts, like lentils and structure paste. All good fun.

[@annierodenberg2327]

Denise, l still believe you are the best Gel printer in all of KZbin. You are beautiful as you are. Besides, printing can be physical work and demands being comfortable. I dislike gals loaded up with rings on every other finger, fresh painted nails, and noisy bracelets. Don’t need the distraction when watching a demo. So like your stash of foam stamps and stencils. Thank you for sharing.

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks so much Sasha. It is very uncomfortable. I often have to force myself to do things, especially social things. I keep telling myself, you'll enjoy it once you're there, or once you do it.

You look fabulous Denise!!! However, I can relate to being apprehensive in front of the camera. I would probably have a million videos if it weren't for having to record myself, lol. I love watching you create! You're very inspiring! I've made my own stamps from one of those BIG dollar store erasures, and they've held up for a long while now. I'm off to see part two... swoosh...

[@DeniseLush]

[@swannwillow9476]

I love this video! ❤ Every print is great and I am going to watch Part 2 immediately. I would love to see a video about the stencils, art foamies and stamps you use with your gel plates.👍 I fully understand your dislike of appearing in front of the camera. I have a rather husky voice so I don't even leave voice messages on a phone unless I absolutely have to... especially not if it is for someone I do not know well. I hate hearing my own voice on a recording.😖 Thanks for all the great videos - specifically about gell printing and album making 🎨🎈

Yes I feel like I don't sound like myself when I listen to my videos. (People would probably find a husky voice very sexy! wink wink! lol) I will be doing a video of my faves! In time. Thanks so much for your support!

Nice video, love your prints! Ok, I’m totally with you on being in front of the camera. I did a couple of melodramas at a local social club, and had a great time doing it for the live audience. But here’s the thing....they filmed them, but I never watched them. I knew if I watched, I would be super-critical and would probably never be able to do it again, and definitely wouldn’t enjoy it as much. Too bad you don’t have someone to edit your videos. It’s so much easier if you don’t have to watch yourself 😂

It would be a little crushing. The doors! They are turning out sooooo beautiful! They are for the doorways so the animals cannot get into my art room and chew everything up. But I do have furniture pieces that my husband has built and I did the paint finish on. Plus he will be building me a small desk. Lots of homemade stuff! All very exciting!

[@DeniseLush]

I don't! Sorry

[@mollypitts]

Hi Denise! You are one of my favorite subs to watch. I LOVE that you always tell us what product you are using because as a newbie to this stuff I’m trying to collect supplies. And, I love to shop. I have a real hard time layering up my papers and my printings never look as interesting as yours. I’m on my 3rd watching of this video to see if I can grasp “the secret method” 😂. I don’t know if you had a video previously but I would love to know how you cut the stencil on your Silhouette. I’ve wanted to try this also. How did you get those lines a little wonky on the ends?

[@DeniseLush]

Thanks so much. That's so nice to hear! Who doesn't love shopping for art supplies! That's almost as good as getting to play! lol Just play and practice, you'll eventually find what you like and what works for you! As for cutting a stencil on the silhouette, I just simply chose a background design. That's it! You could also draw a design, scan it and save it on your computer. Then pull it up in Silhouette and do that whole thing with selling cut lines. I don't have any videos with the silhouette. Maybe one day. My computer is not currently recognizing my Silhouette. So maybe when I move my room upstairs and get it working again. So what little wonky lines are you speaking of? You could tell me the time in the video so I can check it out and answer your question. Thanks.

[@mollypitts]

Thanks for the reply ! Check out around 14:55. I might be wrong but it looks to me like the end of each “slash” has an uneven end and I love that. So, you just purchased the design in the Silhouette Design Store? Off to shop 😄

[@DeniseLush]

Okay, I checked my Library in Silhouette, it is a design I purchased! I thought I had made it up. oops! lol The names of it is "stacked lines background" and it is by Loni Stevens. I'm gonna have to jot that down cause I use that one a LOT!

[@mollypitts]

Oh awesome! Thank you so much for checking!

[@DeniseLush]

@@mollypitts you're very welcome!

[@cherylmccool1284]

Love your prints especially the art foamies but we dont get them in the uk so jealous

[@DeniseLush]

Thank you! Yes, I do believe they are hard to find. But Art Foamies does have a website. You can check with them to see about options for purchasing. They may be able to help you out!

[@serenbeck]

There are some available at Art from the Heart in Harrogate

[@DeniseLush]

@@serenbeck thanks for supplying that info!

[@melwhitworth3077]

Please do the video for what stencils you use...

[@DeniseLush]

I will. It may be a little while, but I will!

[@NaTaliia378]

Beautiful colours and all the patterns. I got a question: how do you clean your carabelle studio stamps?

[@NaTaliia378]

I mean the rubber texture

[@DeniseLush]

I don't! I honestly don't. If I got something sticky on them I would.

[@joanneleclerc4168]

I went to see where I could get the Golden fluid acrylics! Why are they so expensive? I found them at Michaels but 29.99 + depending on the pigment? For a 4 onces bottle!

[@DeniseLush]

Golden paints are expensive but you will pay more at Michael's for everything. I would look elsewhere. Golden's are my Special paints. I save my money for them or ask for them for birthday/christmas. lol but you can gel print with Liquitex basics too!

[@valligator1]

Thanks for another great video. I appreciate all your time and talent. Denise, how do you clean your foamies? Do you clean your stencils? Boy! I sure understand about being camera shy! Valerie

[@DeniseLush]

well.......shhhhhh (I don't clean my foamies) shhhhh . I have though. I just ran them under water. And I do not clean my stencils. Unless it's something sticky (modeling paste, glue, etc) or something that will react when wet (distress oxides, certain inks).

[@DeniseLush]

And thank you!

[@valligator1]

Thanks! 😁

[@jeanmiskimon4018]

You had great results printing on the fabric. Any hints? I can’t get it to show when I gelli on fabric. Do you gesso first? I’ve tried acrylic paints. Maybe I need the fluid. Any help is appreciated. This project is stunning.

[@DeniseLush]

I did not gesso. I did find it not showing as easily on fabric as it does paint. You may need a little more paint than you would normally use with gel printing on paper. I'm not sure. This was my first time playing with the fabric on the gel plate. Just cut a few scraps and experiment! Thank you.

[@jeanmiskimon4018]

Denise Lush Thanks. I’ll give it a try. 😀

[@DefineYourDesigns]

The Rebecca Meyer?. Foamier stamp what co is it and did I spell her name correctly to look it up

[@DeniseLush]

I see you've found the links!

[@elmapeters2969]

I would love to indulge myself in the Carabelle Studio Texture Texte stamp but everywhere I looked it is unavailable! Uggghhh!!

[@DeniseLush]

Have you checked Simon Says Stamp or Joggles?
