MIND-BLOWING Alcohol Ink Technique On the Gel Plate

[@sallysorenson7294]

takes a long time to get to the information!!! yakyakyak

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Yep I am a yapper! 🤷‍♀️

[@sallysorenson7294]

😆😂😊😉 happy you didn't take offense!

[@DOCDOCFLAMINGOS]

​@@sallysorenson7294Ummmm but if she had I would understand!! As the comment was a bit offensive!!??!! Especially since you and everyone else has the ability to skip, fast forward, or change the playback speed yourself if its takeing to long to get to the information your wanting to get!!??!!

[@sallysorenson7294]

Of course you are right, . I should not have expressed my opinion with criticism.

[@PaulaMion]

You can always use the cog on the screen when you hover over the bottom left and adjust the speed. I watch so many I do that to get more info faster. I use either 1.75 or 2.0 on it.

[@gailjuliemakes]

Glad I helped you get your mojo back and thanks so much for sharing my video. I’m such a small channel so I really appreciate it. Love your results too. Gail xx

[@juliesmith3857]

I just bought a gel plate for the first time tonight and watching your videos to learn

[@kathleenlsaavedra9828]

OMG! The one with green squares!!❤

[@theresagerman3717]

All of these are WONDERFUL. Thank you for sharing. I learned a lot today from you.😊

[@Truthfully7]

Gelli IS SOOOO ADDICTIVE...CAN CONFIRM 🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Yes!!!! 👏

[@99zanne]

Not grammar, is word choice! I like that word 😊 - and those are beautiful. TFS!

[@juliecurtis9517]

This is amazing! I never thought about using alcohol ink on my gel plate. Mind blown

[@stephaniesorensen7740]

Going to watch again and take notes so I can do it all in the right order. I have everything needed! So cool!

[@Thecathairsfree]

I have brand new gel plates I’ve never used. Have alcohol inks I rarely use. I can not wait to try this after I get the re inker and alcohol ink cardstock. My creative brain exploded with this video!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!!!

[@EKsunny-d3u]

It SURE is SO beautiful! I'll dedicate an older gelliplate to alcohol inks.. TFS!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Thank you.

[@wendyharbarger1445]

Watching this way after the fact, but enjoyed it. Anxious to try using alcohol inks on my gel plate! Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahglinsmann6792]

After you pull your print, put lifter ink on gel plate add dirty stencil on top. Lift stencil then put alcohol ink card stock on top. To use ink on stencils

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Thank you. I did that at some point in the live. 😊

[@eh2179]

She did that at the beginning :)

[@studio-989]

Tiffany! 😮🎉❤ AMAZING video!!😊 TFS!!! I love your giggles and whispers!! 😅

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Thank you! 🤗

[@anneslinger2189]

I watched the video that inspired you. I think you took the technique up a few notes! VERY cool. Thanks for the inspiration

[@JenAultman]

I tried this & had a blast. I used some pearl inks, some colors worked & some not. So much fun!! Thank you!!!!

[@lauriewillis5988]

This is so fun! Thanks for sharing! Now my house will not get cleaned this weekend because I'll be busy having fun playing with this new technique! :)

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Tiffany, I really really enjoyed watching you creating all these amazing print’s. I really really love ❤️ all of them. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@cathymorris8072]

Woah!! I don't even have a gel plate. This is one of the craft supplies I've decided to forgo. But now I have to have one! This is truly amazing. Thanks.

[@GingerUrban-f3z]

New subscriber. WOW!!! Great results. I'm just getting back into the gel plate. It's been ages since I last played with one. Way back when it was first introduced, (I'm an oldster, lol). Anyway I'm having to learn the techniques and tricks all over and you have the best videos. I'm learning soooo much. But I'm slightly intimidated and haveing a hard time getting started. But I'm determined to give it a try. So thanks for sharing!!!😊😊😊

[@patriciagrisham5938]

Really gorgeous prints & color combinations, Tiffany! Thank you for sharing your excitement!

[@crmuirhead]

Wowza! I loved every pull!! The hand sanitizer allows the alcohol ink to maintain the transparent, ethereal look I love from them. Without it, the pulls look like any other ink. Thanks for sharing!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

UPDATE! Do NOT put photo paper on your gel plate! It will stick to it and ruin it. I also tried glycerin in replace of lift ink. It is not it.

Good to know. Thanks

propylene glycol, ethyl and isoporpyl alcohol, not sure the ratio, could be important, experiment to find the right ratio

[@Ostensible-4now]

So enjoyed seeing this video - learning new techniques for the gel plate. I love every print you pulled. The stencils added landscape and dimension to the pulls that I haven’t seen before. Cannot wait to try and give new life to my gel plate and my alcohol inks. Thank you for providing so many in’s and outs on this process.

[@valorielang937]

I love all your prints and can't wait to try this technique 😍

[@Shellbell81012]

Fun! Can't wait to try it! My lift off refill just arrived. I have the ink pad & have used it on my yupo luminaries! Fun technique too🖌

[@Maribeth1379]

Thank you so much for the inspiration. A gel plate is in my future

[@geenamarquez76]

Love watching you use your gel plate! Love all your prints!!!

[@SantaFeLady]

Mind-blowing is right! I am so excited! I tried this out right away. I like to stamp on whatever backgrounds I create and that has been totally frustrating with alcohol ink, until now! I just made the cutest card following your instructions! This is a total game changer for me! Thank you so much! ❤❤❤

[@Elvis2Kitty]

I can't wait to try this technique - thanks so much!

[@cynthiasymons]

I saw someone put a layer of acrylic gel medium on first, which helps to prevent the ink from beading up on the bare plate.

[@evelyneajorque3011]

Waouh 😮 Magnifique ❤❤❤

[@normag1344]

Oh my gosh. I can’t wait to try this.

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

I was hesitant to try it for so long. Now I’m hooked lol.

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thanks so much my dear friend for so much great information in Tips. I’ve never tried to do this before and I don’t know if I could do it looks like it’s pretty complicated if you don’t know what you’re doing but maybe because I’ve never tried. Thanks so much for a great video, full of inspiration and great active.

Just came across this segment, and I’m looking the beautiful papers with alcohol inks! I’m getting my gel plate out to play! Looking forward to watching more of your presentations!😊

[@wordscrafter]

Wow, these are so beautiful! I haven't played with alcohol inks, I've done paint and distress inks. I usually use them on ATC's or use them for die cutting. Now I want to get my plates out and have a play!

[@karenkettering1725]

Hi Tiffany. I am new to gel printing. Just got my first plate a week ago and have not used it yet. You mention at about the ten minute point that you are using your mini mister but I missed what you have inside the mister.

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

It has isopropyl alcohol in it. 😊 Have fun with your gel plate!

OK, SOLD! I haven't used my AIs in... [gulp]... years and this is what is going to make me go looking for them. I just need to get me some lift ink then I can get going! TFS 🥰😍😘

[@cathydaniels6203]

Love love love the results. I must try it out. All I need is the lift re-inker and a brayer just for alcohol ink. I see a craft store visit today.

Awesome!!! I’ve used AI with thin layer of paints and didn’t enjoy the end result. This way is amazing because it’s not dulled by the paint layer. I will be trying for sure and thank you so much for this tutorial. You are so creative and talented!!!

[@deborahcoram6793]

Months ago but glad to have found this video-very inspirational!

[@lobo1368]

Loved your video Tiffany ❤ Very cool. Ill definitely have to do this. I bet Tim Holtz would like thos?

[@kerryloper6142]

The back grounds are beautiful. I did my first alcohol ink back ground yesterday. I had several areas that were built up and it took a long time to dry. I got impatient and added more alcohol to try and disburse it. I ended up I think putting too much on because the shine is still there but the paper now feels bumpy. I used that plastic paper you recommend, I can’t think of the name of it. but the colors were fabulous. Anyway thanks for the tutorial!!!

[@rrunnr]

What kind of habd sanitzer are you using

[@crisscross104]

Tiffany i stumbled across this video and though I would share my secret to ink lift off. I start similar to your video with the hand sanitiser, add ink (use stencils or stamps) let dry and then brayer a very thin layer of acrylic gel retarder. I use Jo Sonja but I assume others would work. I haven't seen the method elsewhere but it does the same as ink lift and is significantly cheaper. Have fun

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Ooohh thank you. I have never heard of that before!

[@crisscross104]

@@Tiffany.Solorio I am a mixed media artist so I have all this at hand. You can also make it yourself with a mix of glycerin and propylene glycol but its so cheap to buy that its not worth the effort

[@Kaijufruit]

Hi! When yu say gel retarder, Are you also referring to a “gel medium”? which is acrylic paint without color. or is that a different type of gel?

[@crisscross104]

@@Kaijufruit gel retarder is different. It may be called extender or slow drying medium. Gel medium dries as fast as paint where retarder is a medium that dries very slowly

[@Kaijufruit]

@@crisscross104ahhh I see! Thank you! Glad I asked. Do the different drying times make a difference in the quality of the pull, do you think? much appreciated for the clarity!

[@barbborja1910]

Love this technique so much! I think I’m going to try it just like you did, then try Tim’s specialty stamping paper, and stamping into the ink to remove it before pulling the print. I’ll add regular stamping on top so that it doesn’t smear. Thanks for the awesome info!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

You are very welcome!!! ❤ can’t wait for you to try it!

[@kaygapski2728]

Love them, amazing. Live chat is not available, but I want to tell you much I enjoyed this class. You are a great teacher. Your stencils where did you get them?

[@TRsPlace]

This has been in my saved box for three months! I just got around to watching it! Overall, I have been not happy with results (of mine) with alcohol inks. Bought with this technique on your gel plate! Holy smokes has one girl said lol😂 this is a must try. Thank you for sharing. 💛TR

[@annakatrina448]

Just so I understand, you are using the lift ink in place of brayering on an acrylic background to pick up the print?

[@CraftyKiwiMama]

Amazing Tiffany. Thanks for stepping us through this fun technique, the results are so mixed media fabulous! xoxo

[@gillyb44]

so inspiring. My alcohol lift came today. I was playing without and used white paint to lift. Using J Burrows Digital Silk paper it comes in 250gsm and 170 gsm. 250 sheets per pack. It makes beautiful prints bright colours. Im in Australia so not sure if available i\elsewhere.

[@Kaijufruit]

Curious what your pull results were w the white paint? I have a ton of white acrylic paint lol the alcohol lift stuff looks cool but I’d like to use what I have if I can of course. Also curious as to the viscosity of said white paint? should it be a cream consistency?

[@kelleyoneal2578]

Hopefully Ranger comes out with a 2 Oz alcohol lift inker reinker.

[@julieheap273]

Gorgeous

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

[@candiwelsh5524]

Where do you get your gel plates? Also what size is this one? Thank you and GOD bless you my dear. These are beautiful 👍

[@brookematthews4431]

What would happen if you put the ink down without rolling it out?

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

A beautiful technique. Thank you!

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Glad you like it!

[@karenatkinson4053]

Great ideas, I never thought to use hand sanitizer. Did you know that you can clean your gelli plate with baby oil and a soft cloth? It works pretty well. After that use a baby wipe to remove the left over oil.

[@2jazzzzz]

Really interesting thank you! 😍

[@debbierussell-dehoog5619]

Tiffany can you do another video like this with the hand sanitizer and alcohol inks. This truly was mind blowing but I could use another tutorial on it.

[@sueshankland3748]

These are great! What company is the first stencil from? What is it called? Thanks.

[@pennyroach4750]

You did say in the video what colors you use, but I do not remember and if I see them in print, I remember them better, so May I ask you what colors you used on the photo - alcohol, Inc. paper absolutely love the combination and are they Ranger alcohol inks. Also, what was the brand and name of the stencil you used on it. Your video was awesome. Thank you for sharing. God bless stay safe and healthy.❤

[@juliesmith3857]

Tiffany does it have to be hand sanitizer gel or can it be a spray?

I love using AI on the gel plate. I have yet to try it with stencils though. You’ve inspired and motivated me 🥰 thank you!

[@cynthiakammann7368]

I want to try doing this on top of a print that already has an acrylic paint background. I have zero experience with alcohol ink. Does anyone know if alcohol inks will transfer from the gel plate onto acrylic paint? Thanks for any insight❣️

[@sandyfranklin1123]

You got some great results! I’ll have to try it! Wondering if clear matte or gloss medium might also work to pull prints while maintaining the vibrancy of colors? The lift ink does seem to create a soft blending effect. I think that Cheran Shields (Texture Junkies) has done some videos using alcohol inks and hand sanitizer but your results are much softer.

[@Tiffany.Solorio]

Thank you. I do think that a matte gel will work.
