Gelli Print Session - Stencils & Rubber Stamps

Today we’ll do the reverse stencil method to what we did before by laying down the stencil onto paint and doing the same with a rubber stamp. This produces such beautiful results! I hope you’ll come along and try some with me!

thanks for using my stencils and masks!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Oh goodness yes, I absolutely love them!!!! You have inspired me in so many ways! I love watching you 💕

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Very pleased to find someone using a gelli plate again, it's like artists stopped using it a few years ago, and yet there are so many inventive ways to use it. I've been using mine for a few months, and I can't get enough of it ! Your pages are gorgeous, thank you for sharing your process Mx

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Oh and I've 👍and subscribed. Tip - I lift the paint edges with my brayered off page *before * I start to smooth down my print. That way I don't get as much paint on my hands as I sweep across the print and plate.

[@DreamyBohemian]

I am absolutely loving my gelli plate! There’s something about it… it’s like little pieces of art every time you pull a page. Thank you so much for subscribing!! ❤️❤️ and the tip 💕 I do that sometimes as well, just depends on the day. 🤷‍♀️ Thank you again!!!

[@XenobiaF]

Froyle does a lot of gel prints

[@DreamyBohemian]

Yes, I watch her a lot!

[@debbiebunyard4829]

So does Robyn McClendon, PM artist studios and Elizabeth Saint Hillaire

[@bunnysantamaria1808]

Thank you for not rushing. Taking your time makes it much easier for others to really get process. They are all beautiful ❤ 😊

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much for saying that because I always feel guilty for doing long form videos. But I suppose if people don’t want to watch the whole thing, they don’t have to 🤷‍♀️

[@milliem1508]

I have found the key to Geli printing is PATIENCE with letting the paint dry, with one’s self and the whole process! ♥️♥️ Great video! Lots of really useful information about fabulous techniques ♥️💜

[@DreamyBohemian]

So true!

[@rhonda5780]

Pretty results. I kept hoping to see some dark contrasting colors to see how it would look with your lighter greens and blues. I love that you show the entire process.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you Rhonda, it’s so hard to use dark colors and have things show up. I’ve tried black and white before and it was a big fail. I do need to get in there and see what the secret is to success with that!

[@jdmosaics]

@@DreamyBohemianuse your darker paint first and pick up with the lighter opaque.. a Payne’s grey is great to experiment with.

[@suzieq23ify]

Fun, fun, fun Randi! I love Klimt. I am in the process of creating a waterfall journal using all my Klimt products and papers. It is a slow process but that is just me. I have been looking at the Klimt stencils but I am finding it hard to choose. Now that I have seen your stencils I think I can finally make a decision. Thanks for sharing your gelli plate techniques.🦋🦋🦋

[@DreamyBohemian]

Oh I can’t wait to see your completed project! Thanks so much for watching and I’m so glad I could help ❤

[@donnacarraway9182]

Thank you! I especially love it when you tell us the colors because you are the best at choosing them!!💕

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much Donna 💕❤️

[@a705fay]

I imagine the blobby paint you don't like comes of running the brayer back and forth, which has the effect of rolling the paint on and then off again, for smooth paint I would recommend braying in one direction...

[@samcollage7682]

Also, always lift the roller and let it spin to get even coverage.

[@BRebornArtHealing]

This was an amazing video! Very informative and not too long. I have mastered a lot of things but not gel printing. Thank you!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much! I love gelli printing - it’s kind of addictive! Hope you try it soon!

[@conniewhall3109]

These are gorgeous. And refreshing. Thank you. Best day now. .

[@CreateWithBecca]

Such fun pulls. They all turned out great! Enjoyed watching.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks so much!!!!!

[@lisaminglet7229]

Eddie you are playing that plate to pull the most amazing prints.

[@laurienye7514]

I loved that. That last stencil reminded my of "coffee bean and steam". I love this. Thank you.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you!!! I’d love to know what your coffee bean and stem is!

[@elainekellybryant8406]

I really enjoyed this video as I have never tried the gelli plate and never actually liked the effect until I saw your Batik Journals. Thank you for your detailed how to, this helps me a lot!!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Oh gosh thank you so much!!!

[@joellynwarner1670]

This video was perfect timing! I was wanting to learn about the 2 color process with stencils. Enjoyed this immensely and learned a lot. Thanks 😊

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you Joellyn 💕 I’m so very happy you enjoyed ❤️❤️❤️

[@jackieblack6892]

Your so very gifted my friend..love everything

[@sandykouba435]

Totally enjoying your videos. Can't wait to get started.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you! I hope you will enjoy 🥰

[@craftyazshabbyshacjude3297]

Wow, super cool idea, purchased a gelli print and been scared to use it, but now you have inspired me to give it a go. Thank you for sharing. Awesome colours

[@DreamyBohemian]

Wonderful! I’m glad you’re going for it!!!

[@bohodaydreams]

They are all beautiful

[@user-mv8oy7bv1p]

Hi there! Sooo happy to have found you😊. I'm just getting into gelli plate art. I did have one many moons ago. I'm an oldster and have been making junk journals for years and creating master board collages to use and gelli prints will give me so much more to use and I need to go back to school so to speak lol 😂. Thx for some great inspiration.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much!!!!! So happy you landed here 💕 I hope you have fun experimenting!!

[@KriRama]

🥳 I’m excited …. Got some new brayers… I’m ready to do this!!!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Woohoo!!!!! Let the fun begin! 💕💕💕

[@kelligroves9687]

Love the color combos you use! Also love Joggles stencils!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks so much! I just love the stencils from joggles… so many cool options!

[@Butterrollboutique]

Awesome video I’m new here to learn how to use the gel print plate

[@kathekokolias9569]

My messsage disappeared so I will briieifly repeat: Thank you so much! I'm learning so much from watching your video - more so than from anyone else.

[@DreamyBohemian]

So kind of you Kathe! I very much appreciate that! So happy to be able to help someone ❤️

[@bettelovelace4456]

Love the process I really like paint 1st then stencil then new layer paint to squish into negative spots ..then pull..👏..the one before the kiss stencil was really cool

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks so much 😊 I appreciate your kind words!!!

[@madelineruehlicke2186]

Loved your video! Very helpful.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much 💕💕💕

[@LiliandersLilianGijsbers]

Oh that gold one, need to take out my gelliplate again!

[@stephaniewyeth3920]

I learned a lot about this process. Thank you.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you so much Stephanie 💕💕💕

[@susaneddins4299]

I have been watching gelli printing for several months and just came across yours. I’ve tried a fair number of the “professional” paints like golden you mentioned and I’m always disappointed and can’t seem to do it properly. I’m going to try the paints you use which I never thought of trying and maybe I’ll finally have some success. Thank you.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Same here! I do enjoy the opaque colors. Good luck, I hope you have some success!

[@jdmosaics]

@@DreamyBohemianthe way to get the most out of the effects of different layers is to use transparent and opaque paint. Layer the darker transparent one first and pick up with an opaque pale colour or do the opposite.. Then you can keep going with more and more layers. It is interesting to use your colour theory when it comes to what hues play well together. Have fun.

[@kittyboss-veerhusen1087]

I love this tutorial ! Going to go do some printing right now! Your stencils are beautiful !

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you!!! 💕💕💕

[@jacquelineremus8674]

Thanks for the inspiration. I have a lot of these stencils but they are just sitting around. Time to pull them out.

[@DreamyBohemian]

You’re welcome! I hope you have fun!!!

[@BB-nz5sk]

You have such a soothing voice.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks so much!

[@bohodaydreams]

I just love this video

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you!

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

Im so excited for my big gelli to arrive, my practices have been on a 5×7 i think. Im loving both tranfers you do, but love alcohol inks too

[@DreamyBohemian]

I love my big plate! You’re going to have a lot of fun!!!! I want to try alcohol inks - they look so interesting! I’m not sure how to use them on a gelli plate but I have seen people use them in other ways! Thanks for watching!!!

[@craftyazshabbyshacjude3297]

Awesome stencils

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks, I absolutely love them!

[@msbecky]

I really enjoyed this and learned so much, I have watched so many od gel prints and still felt lost but this really helped or maybe it just finally clicked in this slow brain...lol...pup your holding in photo what breed, looks like my wet pups when they were little....

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you Ms Becky! I’m so glad I could help 💕 He’s a mutt lol. But quite sweet one - a mix between carin terrier and chihuahua. (Got the barking part of the chihuahua unfortunately 😂)

[@rogergreener9457]

This is a new medium that I've been seeing a lot lately. I'm trying to absorb all i can. I want to try mixed medium prints when i have space again.

[@DreamyBohemian]

I hope you get to experiment soon, it’s so fun!!!

[@artsydancequeen2964]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your techniques! What do you use to clean the acrylic paints off of your rubber stamps?

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you!!! I just use a cloth and water or a baby wipe.

[@viviandibrell849]

Oh gosh, these designs are really cool. I had no idea these stencils were available and I just went on joggles and ordered a bunch of stuff. What kind of paper are you using? All the other videos I have watched they use copy paper which seems much thinner than what you are using. Also do you clean off your stencils or just let the paint build up on them? Thank you so much for your answers in advance.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you! Joggles is such a fun place to shop!!! I believe I was using paper from an old art tablet one of my kids had left over. It worked really well for gelli printing! Otherwise I use 24 lb copy paper and I bought some tissue paper as well that is fun.

[@alenamorrow6707]

Were did you purchace your stencils 😊😊

[@lindylessard5804]

Have you tried using your hair dryer? It’s not as hot as a craft dryer, so it’s a little more gentle. ( It’s also easier on your wrists’)

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ChasingRetro]

Love this! Makes me want to invest in a bigger gelli plate. And those stencils are gorgeous. Do you any of design them yourself? Thanks for sharing the process; this can be intimidating to newbies like me!

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you! I do love playing with those stencils but I didn’t design them. They are linked in the description and are from Elizabeth St Hildaire if I spelled that correctly. ❤️

[@ChasingRetro]

@@DreamyBohemian Thanks! I should have watched a bit longer before commenting; I heard you say that later on in the video. :) I love the one that looks like books!

[@susane945]

It's lovely but what are you using all those prints for?? What uses do you have for them? 😊

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you. I put them in journals (the batik journals here on yt) They are great for instant backgrounds for art journals or just to journal on with a white gel pen, collaging etc.

[@colleenmckeeman1342]

Nice video. It’s hard sometimes to know the effect of transparent versus opaque colors. But she got some nice results.

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thank you!

[@CynthiaTrombley-jz9dh]

How are you cleaning your stencils? I have found that acrylic psints tend to harden on my palettes making it extremely diffi ult to wash them clean

[@DreamyBohemian]

Soak in a tub of water and mild soap.

[@cyngailey7872]

Hi. I have just started doing these . So cool. What are the journals you do? Do you sell them?

[@DreamyBohemian]

Thanks!! So fun, right?! I think you may be referencing the batik journals with these papers. Here’s the video of the ones I have completed in the past. I don’t have any available at the moment but am happy to do one for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaWYg62hjq10mtUsi=TPj3ZVDwPAdnN6gc

[@cyngailey7872]

@DreamyBohemian I was wondering what you could do with them. Now I am making lots of papers but love to paint pour so trying to do it all together lol

[@DreamyBohemian]

@@cyngailey7872 people use them to art journal or do challenges because there is already a background there for you.

[@astorybookfinish5055]

What does clean up look like? The stamps and the stencils have dried paint inside their grooves.

[@DreamyBohemian]

I kept the stamps on a wet wipe during the process and stencils can be soaked in soapy water. The stamps can be wiped out with the wipe easily and sprayed with a water bottle if necessary.

[@s.c3773]

But how do you use the pulled prints?

[@DreamyBohemian]

Well, they are really fun for collaging projects. They are great for journal pages. They can be used for pockets and anything “junk journal“. They can be used on the inside of the journal cover and as end pages. They can be used as the journal cover, you can make cards out of them. The list goes on.

[@dianeolson3777]

Do you wash the stencils afterwards

[@DreamyBohemian]

Yes

[@teresastuder8972]

What is the brand name of these stencils...

[@DreamyBohemian]

They are from joggles.com the Klimt collection.

[@KriRama]

THANK YOU for showing stamps bc I don’t have large stencils BUT I have stamps! 😁❣️

[@DreamyBohemian]

I love using stamps!!! They’re super fun!!!

Awe thank you sooooo much!!!! I’m so glad you stumbled upon me! I appreciate you so much!!!!

[@joaneklein4280]

Like what you've done but the wait time on the fanning and smoothing the paper on the stencils is too long. You should speed that part of the video up.

[@DreamyBohemian]

It’s unfortunate that sped up or slowed down, neither makes everyone happy. When one is faced with this dilemma, KZbin has graciously imbedded the ability to control the speed by tapping the video on the right side to speed up. You can also go into the video and choose your desired speed. Hope this helps ❤

[@junebloye1487]

Disappointing. I wanted to see stamps not stencils.

[@DreamyBohemian]

😞At about 11:00 in I use the stamps.

[@jennifermcdonald4291]

Your comment doesn’t make sense. In the title she says “Stencils & Rubber Stamps” and she uses both stencils and rubber stamps…???
