How brilliant is that? Love the random-ness of the designs, but they work.

[@Abbie7301]

Absolutely stunning I always love watching and learning from you 🥰

[@spikedeane9112]

I'm papering a wall with this technique. Lots of fun. Love your videos Birgit.

[@sheezee]

This is one of the most inspiring how to videos I've watched in a while. Thank you for sharing your technique and your beautiful results!

[@craftyhodges]

You are SO talented Birgit!!! I always love it when one of your videos pops up on my feed. You never disappoint. Thanks for another fabulous video! Joanne

[@birgitkoopsen]

Thank you Joanne!!

[@avanellehansen4525]

You have a great eye for color, value and composition!

[@debbiesjournals4550]

What a great technique. Those cards turned out beautiful!

[@marybuxbaum7847]

Oh my gosh, what gorgeous creations!

[@iamdawt]

This is my new favorite! I love your results, and it looks like so much fun. I struggle with abstract concepts, and stenciling is one of those things. But stamping, that's something my brain seems excited about.

[@thelasonj]

Birgit, you're a real artist. I love these examples. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JudyShea]

absolutely stunning, yet simple to achieve. thank you.

[@kateives1274]

Thank you Birgit!! This technique is so much fun. For any Aussie viewers - I tried this with greaseproof paper from Coles but it wasn't as transparent as the white gift-wrap tissue paper I bought at the $2 shop. The tissue worked well and gave results like Birgit's examples.

[@birgitkoopsen]

Kate Ives thank you for sharing that!

[@rosethorne7973]

Loved what you did with the finished pieces.

[@jeannebeam3042]

I just love this technique. Beautiful papers!!

[@avanellehansen4525]

Just lovely! I'd like to make cards this way, but also, what a great little collage to enlarge as an abstract painting!

[@tortiegrey3592]

Love!!!! Gorgeous and unique backgrounds.

[@ultraviolet13881]

Thank you, Birgit -- absolutely LOVE how these came out!

[@peaceforall2761]

I really like this style.

[@lisabell2319]

Truly inspirational!!! Love this technique!!!

[@debracarter7290]

I LOVE this! I have just bought a gel printing plate but haven’t tried it yet. I’ve always loved working with tissue paper and applying it to projects so this is really inspiring! The colours are so bright and the layering looks amazing. Thanks for your demo!

[@UARELOVE1010]

It is stunning and beautiful! I appreciate you showing the full process of how to use the prints you created. I sometimes feel lost about what all I can do with them. Thanks.

[@papercraftcrazy8563]

Love this idea! So many options! Thank you!

[@andreamaiorana8490]

[@astrababe4]

This is fantastic Birgit I wonder if we're doing this in the workshops next weekend 15th n 16th July! Can't wait for it and to meet you. Definitely need some Matt medium xxx

[@KittehNow]

BRILLIANT

[@Reneesfun]

Absolutely gorgeous. Are the black and white butterflies die cuts? Thanks 😊

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

what a wonderful technique to teach us. thank you : )

[@charlotteminichiello1081]

Just love this will do!

[@penniecampbell1182]

Just love it

[@riteasrain]

Beautiful results!

[@greenmacaroni8872]

Another great technique! Thank you for sharing. Julie :)

[@ElinT13]

Very beautiful!

[@julianaleo631]

These are some wonderful ideas... One thing I realized while trying this - you need plenty of room to dry the papers! lol So I ended up using my fireplace mantel. My kitchen table was already full of paints.

[@coordinatorknitclub8340]

Excellent demo, will try to do some layering with the deli paper we made in Color Crush, too. Then I can compare the results.

[@birgitkoopsen]

It will be a bit less translucent but also great to use :)

[@andreamaiorana8490]

Another winner!❤️

[@dianejennings8971]

Fab. Now I know what to do with all the tissue paper I saved over the years :0)

[@missmarpleinvestigations]

I am in love!

[@kimberlywalker1015]

Love this technique!😀!

[@elemeniah]

Love this video, great tutorial!

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Beautiful!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really love 💕 this. It’s really so inspirational and stunning. xx m

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesome

[@fit2btiedyed]

LOVE all your videos (not sure if its just my eyes) I can never read the writing; would love to see words clearly printed in B+W on the description area KZbin provides. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@miekemiddelhuis3782]

Beautiful, thank you!

[@brendaprescott2043]

Love this video... can't wait to try it. Do you have ant tips on the brand of acrylic paint to use to get the best results? Thanks

[@bbquiltartist11]

A little tip: Spread "the recipe" (Mix 50% matte medium/50% gel medium with a little water) on top of the Gelli printed tissue paper which has been placed on a sheet of plastic. Let it dry. Then it can be cut, torn or die cut.

[@jlm517rocks]

Outstanding

[@karenjoy9997]

Yay!

[@debbiel890]

wow - what a fab video just so imressed I have a gelliplate and hardly use it - what paints did you use ? have you done this with inks too ?

[@liettelafontaine7936]

love this techniqque!!!

[@betsters]

Thank you!!!

[@maremagoo8140]

Your results are always fabulous Birgit! QUESTION: In your opinion, does Deli paper or Tissue paper give the best results for this technique??? Looking forward to your thoughts - thanks!

[@BlaizC]

Tissue paper is more transparent. Deli paper is a really nice look in itself, but it won't show other layers as clearly.

[@birgitkoopsen]

As BlaizC said :)

[@nuvoclassic]

I prefer using the deli paper.

[@rozenart5768]

Just went crazy over these!! Ps. Can’t read white letters on white background...

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Love it!!!!!!

[@sherrigittel4623]

Do you seal them with clear gesso?

[@emilywong4601]

What are you using to adhere the tissue paper to itself? Gel medium, pvc, white glue???

[@suefalls1600]

Wow!!!!

[@graciewieber4551]

Beautiful collage! TY 4 the demonstrations...Would you please let us know where to purchase the tissue paper used in this tutorial....Many thanks....

[@cindycreateforlife]

I just buy white tissue paper at the dollar store.

[@LotusMira]

Won't acrylic paint potentially damage stamps?

[@63artemisia63]

I really like the Letters& Numbers stamp(s) you used in your third group of prints. Looked on the blog but didn’t see the name. Do you remember? This is one of my favorite BK videos btw. Thanks!

[@julianacotton8528]

Love the tutorial but had a hard time reading the white subtitles against the white background.

[@Maggiesplace48]

Awesome tfs

[@a.humphries8678]

Is this deli paper, or paper for gifts?

[@sylviacostello2979]

I would love to do this very cant find tissue paper what about wax deli paper

[@LaerkeNissen]

Lovely technique Birgit. One question: Are you using Fluid acrylics? For some reason I can't get my fluid acrylics to 'stick' on the plate, how do you do that?

[@jasminemde]

Where is that flower looking paint, medium holder from?

[@ja6138]

I love this!!! love the texture and how bright those colors are!!! What paper are you using ??

[@birgitkoopsen]

It's very thin tissue paper, like the kind you find in shoe boxes.

[@poudredeperlimpinpin9216]

J'aime.

[@ceciliasawyer2432]

I love this technique soo much! Where do you get the little stencils and who makes them? Thanks for this video. Love it!

[@kateives1274]

I'm pretty sure they're Carabelle masks. They're French and are sold in Australia, Europe and the U.S.. www.artstamp.fr/masques-art-mask-medium,fr,3,76.cfm

[@birgitkoopsen]

Yes, as Kate said, All stamps and stencils I use in my videos are either Carabelle Studio or home made :)

[@ceciliasawyer2432]

Thanks Kate, I did recognize the Carabelle masks and I do love their stamps but the other stencils are not familiar.

[@birgitkoopsen]

Cecilia Sawyer which stencils do you mean? They are all Carabelle. But there are a few from the latest release maybe that's why you didn't recognize them?

[@brittahansen8688]

Hallo Birgit, dazu fällt mir eigentlich nur eins ein: WOW! Und eine Frage: Meinst du mit Tissue-Paper sowas wie Einschlagpapier aus dem Umzugsbereich? Den Tipp hab ich von einer Junkjournalkünstlerin. Könnte das dieselbe Papierart sein?

[@fairiebutterflyland]

What kind of matte medium?

[@carolyn_r]

Where can I purchase that alpha/number collaged stamp? thanks, great video

[@jennifermoneagle4211]

carolyn_ r try Joggles - I get all my Carabelle stamps and stencils there

[@martinekruijswijk4964]

Love this! Where do you buy this paper? I'm from the Netherlands too!

[@birgitkoopsen]

Martine Kruijswijk bij www.cchobby.nl :)

[@juliebergacker5680]

Awesomeq

[@krenkurts5054]

Is this tissue paper or deli paper?

[@urbanchili]

Seems like I have to go and get some new shoes to go with the gelli plate :)

[@CraftAmundous]

I

[@gawieber]

Hello Birgit ~ Please tell us who makes the circle and star in circle stencil...Thank you for your response. ~ Gracie

[@birgitkoopsen]

Hi Gracie, all stamps and stencils I use are from Carabelle Studio :)

[@julianaleo631]

Do they have an English website? everything is in french

[@birgitkoopsen]

Juliana Leo no I'm afraid not, but where are you from? There are shops all over the world where you can buy Carabelle.

[@julianaleo631]

I'm in the US - sure wish I had taken French in School! lol Thanks for the reply. Juliana

[@birgitkoopsen]

Juliana Leo haha! Well, you can find a lot of my stamps and other designs from Carabelle at Simonsaysstamp.com 😊
