[@virtuallycolleen]

I’ve never seen this technique! I’m so excited to pull out my gel pens and give this a try. Thank you! ❤️

Very pretty result, Heidi! The petal also shows depth; nice effect. Thank you for showing another way to use gel pens!

Thank you my friend! I just came across this a while ago on YT--there are other videos out there about it--and had to try it out. It's true, I do like to try out different things all the time. That's one of the things I really love about your channel too! ❤

Very cool technique! One that I will need to try. Thank you for sharing this 😀

Thanks, KK! And you're welcome. Yes, give it a try, it's very fun.

Thanks Heidi, I've tried similar techniques using glycerin and gel pens, but I put the gel pen down first, then stretched the ink out with the glycerin. It makes a really nice effect, I think I prefer it to just straight gel pen. I'd never really given paper quality much thought, but it is something I will bear in mind for future projects. ❤❤

Oh, that's interesting. I'll have to try that. Thanks for the comment!

wow! i never knew! now i can’t wait to try this

[@hchcoloring]

It's not a very well known technique. There are more YT videos out there on this, some by Coloring Bliss for example. Yes, try it out, it's a lot of fun!

Nice video! Tyvmfs ☺☺☺

[@hchcoloring]

Thanks, and you're welcome!

OMG!! Brilliant!! :)

[@hchcoloring]

It is! Not my invention, though. :)

[@jennypollard8739]

interesting! I can see this technique working in the Lulu Mayo books - they have that slick paper. Although I've heard the Tarot book's paper is a bit different.

[@hchcoloring]

Yeah, give it a try! I haven't tried it in those books. Could work. :)

Great demo. I wonder if the paper/page could be prepped with clear gel medium to help the paper. Like gesso does for oil paints. 🤷 Matte or glossy would probably work. Depending on the artists preference.

[@hchcoloring]

Hmm... interesting idea!
