Spray Inks on the Gelli Arts® Printing Plate

It’s Birgit here with a new technique video about using spray inks on the Gelli Arts® printing plate. Using spray inks on the Gelli Arts® plate was an experiment to me, so I just tried some things to see what would happen and if I would like it. I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome and I hope you like it too!

Birgit, I never tire of watching your various Gelli techniques. Thank you.

[@thelasonj]

ME NEITHER

[@textileheaven2K]

Love these techniques. So glad you showed the sprays using same stencil but different mediums. It was so easy to see how different they all are. Great tutorial. Thanks!!

[@pamelasertich9850]

[@HelenGullett]

[@whyducks1]

What great results, using things I wouldn't of dared to use on my gel plate. Thank you for sharing this.

[@catherinepeddel3255]

Oh what wonderful colours and textures, achieved so easily. Thank you for sharing.

[@ritipoddar]

Awesome ideas & techniques !! Thanks for sharing!

I used Dylusions Ink sprays and stencils on my gelli plate several years ago, and it turned out so beautiful that I framed a few of the prints. I brayered liquid medium on the plate (since it didn't show the brayer marks as much as it would using gel medium), sprayed the inks on, then put the stencil on top and pulled a print. The ghost prints were the ones that looked the best. I used Bristol multi-media paper because it's so smooth and holds up well with liquids. I love the ones you did with the paper towels, and I'm anxious to try that! TFS!

Great techniques, your results are amazing and so inspiring. Bedankt

[@magee113]

Love this! Running to Michael's now for more spray inks!!!

[@luluvision]

LOVE this!! Truthfully, I don't use my gelli plate that often because I get lazy to pull out all my acrylic paints. But spray inks, on the other hand, are easier for me to access since I use them more often. I can't wait to try this!!

[@MaryGadsby]

Love those paper towel masks! You are so creative, thank you.

[@kmcorby]

Thank you, Birgit, interesting experiment. I like the gessoes ones the best.

[@MMGARC]

[@birgitblume4980]

Very interesting!!!!

[@CRSDelta]

Genius!

[@candystamping4552]

that paper towel idea was very cool! will have to try :)

[@kerbarn]

Wow!

[@hurricanekitty6736]

I did this using gesso’ed paper but no stencils, I always go for my first layer to be a solid layer & I wanted to see what would happen & both gesso’ed & mom both were awesome but in 2 entirely different ways. The non gesso’ed page gave me exactly what I laid it down on but the gesso’ed page was so whimsical in how the inks moved across the paper, I couldn’t decide which I loved more!! Thanks for this amazing tip!! It’s a shame we can’t attach pics to these comments so I could show you what I mean 😞

[@torageirs6473]

Fantastic :)

[@annellsampson3602]

This is a great idea which I will most assuredly do! :-)

[@jaspermartin7444]

awesome, thank you. I'm still needing at least 20 smallish spray bottles and haven't found a good local source yet. The problem with ordering them online is... if they don't spray very well then you're out of luck because the shipping cost to return them is about the same price as keeping them. So far, locally the cheapest price I've found is a dollar a bottle and I resent paying that much for empty spray bottles.

[@carolvasenko3438]

That is terrific! I am amazed at the matte medium on the plate. It doesn't stick? It all comes off?

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I learned a lot. One word of advice, when showing the product please hold it for a few minutes longer. It's hard to get a screenshot. Happy Crafting

[@ibkristykat]

I have matte acrylic medium. wonder if that would work??

[@ladyinblack1964]

Have you had any issues with the gel medium being difficult to remove? Great video!

[@feliciaharris7372]

I'd like to purchase this gel plate, what size is it?? Great video.

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

❤️❤️❤️

[@dianalascruces7461]

Loved the vid. Did a google search for the stencil and found nothing similar. Any chance you could point me in the right direction? Thank you 😊

[@kitebabe05]

what kind of paper i can using the best for gelli printing with 3-4 layers (or more)of paint?

[@gingerpayne7310]

Do you wait before the Gesso dry before adding the spray? I am a newbie at this.

[@shoutyahoo]

hi there, can I use India inks on the gel plate or do the inks need to be water soluble? many thanks

[@desdogs3]

Lovely! A little confused....isn't gel medium also considered a glue? So, doesn't it stick to the gelli plate?

[@lauriealdridge9179]

What kind of card stock are you using

[@euvid1]

How do you remove the gesso and mat medium?

[@sallyhoughton6061]

Did the paper towel pieces come off the plate easily or did it stick to the matte medium ?
