Using Alcohol Inks on the Gelli® Plate

[@margaretsmith9085]

Thank you for showing us how to use the prints on cards.

[@SharonJerniganStudio]

Beautiful cards!

[@2techshop]

So very beautiful!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Teresa I really really enjoyed watching you creating on the round Gelli Plate.. You got some really really awesome prints, and I really really love ❤️ them. And even the one you least liked was made into a beautiful card. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@pixidust543]

Just Stunning!! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@robinsue2439]

Thank you for the awasome video. I love the gel plate and inks but have never used togather. I can not waite to try.

[@veronicawhite398]

So very cool!

[@sherrigittel4623]

Awesome ❣ Beautiful results👍🙏🙏

[@kathleenelliot5305]

Very nice results, the cards are beautiful. Thank you.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou Kathleen x

[@angb1923]

I loved the pinks ones and the last one. so cool!

[@maestra730]

beautiful prints! thanks for the inspiration!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

FWIW, I loved the moody grey-blue bubble-wrap one! 🖤

[@ScrappyMim]

that is so cute. I'd put it on display in my craft room!

[@kreativbienchen7828]

Helli Teresa thanks for this great beautiful inspiration, take care

[@leannepenalurick9122]

I really liked the way you left in the one that you didn’t like. It’s so good to know that people who know what they are doing can still make boo boos. I loved the ways the backgrounds turned out in their cards. They are gorgeous

[@louisemccloud5930]

Your stencil collection is enormous! I don't think I've ever seen you use the same stencil twice. I love this video. Time to get the inks out again!!! Tfs ❤️

[@TeresaMorgan]

Lol - you are right, I think I have around 150+ which is shameful!!! I do use them though. Have fun playing, hope you don't get as messy as I did!

[@kandrews6356]

I like them all, and I really like the black one. I think it would be great for an outer space or Halloween. On the Dorothy card you did with it, it looks like she could be holding something, and I think a hanging skull, pumpkin or jack-o-lantern would work. I too like the clean up designs because using another stencil on top could create something new all together again. Well done my friend. Thank you for sharing.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - it goes to prove that we should never discount the ones that don't turn out how we expected, we just need to keep an open mind! I like your ideas for Dorothy - I may have some tiny ephemera to add to her hand!

[@marie-claudegaudreau4576]

The last one is the Best for me.

[@sherylosullivan9619]

I bought a heap more alcohol inks on sale recently. Usually of course I use Yupo paper but it will be much more economical to use my gel plates and regular paper. Thanks for all your great ideas!

[@heidirichardson4988]

That shiner paint is so prettt! Your ideas, give me ideas to try.💙❤️💜💗🧡🙏🏿

[@aliceplouchardstelzer9881]

Love these.

[@whiteblossom4077]

Beautiful

[@timeenuf4200]

Love, love, love them all. So nice of you to show so many varieties of things that can be made just playing around and altering things. I did stop using inks on gel press pads because of the staining. Was concerned not that the color would directly interfere but it seemed to change how I saw new colors I put on. We'll give it another go. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@anniefaint6373]

Loved watching you using your gelli plate , some lovely ideas ,,,, 😊💕

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thanks Annie xx

[@raylenelendon2743]

Loved the ideas...ordered 2 geli plates cant wait to try them

[@terismith4333]

I really enjoyed your video Teresa! I didn't know Alcohol Inks could be used on the gel plate. Thank you so much for showing some completed cards at the end. I love making backgrounds, but then look at them & think, "Now what?". This video was so helpful & I learned a lot.

[@sunnycharacter]

Wow, that round one with the blue and aqua with offset pattern looks like the Stat Wars Death Star!

[@AndreaCrisp]

That's exactly what I thought too!

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Love these backgrounds! Cant wait to try!!

[@badbatdesigns]

Thank you for sharing! Beautiful, reminds me of stained glass. Can't wait to see more.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou x

[@bettejowelton7459]

I think these are amazing prints. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for sharing.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!

[@journals4all694]

These are beautiful, I have been playing with the idea of Gelli printing, and guess what!!!! after this video I am hooked!!! Purchased my first gelli plate today , and have loads of stash to start experimenting when it arrives. Really like the alcohol inks ( and I have loads which I haven't started to use yet) . I do journaling and think this type of printing will add a different dimension to my Journals. Thank you for sharing and explaining so well your techniques.

[@wrencub]

I really enjoyed watching your video Teresa. I'd never thought of using alcohol inks on my gelli plate. Will have a play tomorrow. Thank you.

Loved your prints. I was afraid of using alcohol inks on the gel plate but after seeing yours I'm ready to try my own prints. WIll be watching more or your tubes. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thankyou xx

[@lesleyevans1569]

love your ideas for the gelli plate - so much inspiration!| Also really like that you give examples of how to use the finished prints for cards etc :-)

[@wordscrafter]

I just want to get out my gel plate and play now. You made some terrific prints! I'd not thought of alcohol inks then paint, wow!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you - enjoy!!

[@sherrigittel4623]

I've been wanting to try alcohol inks on my plate. So happy to see you do it and how you clean it off the geli.

[@rosethorne9076]

My alcohol inks came today. My gelli plate comes tomorrow. Guess what I'll be doing? Thanks for the tips and techniques. Fab cards!

[@laelamartin7552]

Koren, I liked your card! BUT, Dexter, your card was amazing!!! You did such a good job with the card as well as with the video! I would love to see more of your cards and more of you filming videos. You and your mom seem to be having so much fun!! I like it!

Wonderful I have a new way of using my stash now. I'm going to make cards!! Thanks.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you! Have fun!

[@anneslinger2189]

I was having a play with my gel plate, and alcohol inks. Not quite following along, but trying things out. I don' t know how you clean your stencils, but try spritzing some alcohol on them and then pressing that down onto some paper. I got some really neat results, just from trying not to waste my ink!

[@tapihimiona8757]

I followed this exactly, but all I got was a pearly mess. Loved your tutorial.

[@TeresaMorgan]

I hope you have better luck another time. The inks have to be dry before you add the thin layer of paint.

[@devonrex4]

Beautiful! Also, this makes me want to buy a round gelli plate to add to my collection!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!!

[@Vonnies1929]

Wow that is beauitful

You explain everything beautifully, what is the colour of the Perl paint. The pink print I’d beautiful , I have looked on Amazon there are different colour Pearl ones. Thank you

[@susane945]

That's really interesting! Alcohol inks usually can't be used with normal paper. So that's interesting. Is it because you're using the acrylic paint over the top?? I love all your experiments!! Really lovely! Thanks for sharing will us. ❤️🌸🙂

[@HeatherWrightArt]

Wow, again, I am surprised by the outcome of the first piece! I was thinking it was just going to be a big mess, I know how fickle alcohol inks are, but then you lifted the print and oh my gosh it was AWESOME!!! In fact, they ALL turned out really neat! Thanks for the inspiration :-)

[@shashiprasad4446]

Lovely 👏👏👏😍😍😍

[@vickirivera2240]

That one reminds me of my shower drain. "You win some, you lose some"... I'm sure it can be used in some fashion

[@Cuttlebuglover]

Fabulous... just had to have a quick go with a new stencil I was given for Christmas. Will share a photo on U.K. Stampers xx

[@waukonstandard]

Great ideas and techniques! For your hands make sure you put hand lotion on before you ink! This will help protect your hands from absorbing the ink!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou xx I will try that!

[@M3glamsquad]

You made some gorgeous prints!! Wow! I really like that round plate! That works perfect for card making!! 14:50 looks so pretty! But 19:30 has to be my fav! I just recently did a live stream playing with alcohol ink and acrylic paint on my DIY gelli plate. I cant wait to do it again! I need to get more alcohol first. I never thought I'd make about 50 prints at once! I did try my pearl alcohol inks and my iridescent paints and they worked awesome! WARNING! Lol! They're addictive!! Lol! My gelli plate is about 8x11 now. So I made full sheet prints. I cant wait to make copies of some and use them in my mixed Media backgrounds! Thanks for sharing this! You made gorgeous art!!! #YOUROCK #m3glamsquad 👑

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou so much!! I agree that it is addictive, I have 4 plates: 2 rectangular ones and 2 circular ones. Keep experimenting, and having fun xx

[@stampinsueduffy]

Love the pearl - can we stamp over it? If so, what should we use?

[@TeresaMorgan]

Ranger Archival or Staz-On ink should work fine.

[@headlessviolin]

Which inks do you use please love the prints thank you xx

[@angelahartley3212]

Wondering if you could add a little water to it to keep it from drying so quickly. I wondered about using these on the plate! Thank you!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!! Water and alcohol won't mix unfortunately so you can't extend the drying time.

[@angelahartley3212]

@@TeresaMorgan rats!! Just trying to think of something to mix with it so it wont dry superfast.....surely there is something out there!! I would love to try this!! Thank you!!!

[@angelahartley3212]

@@TeresaMorgan try using hand sanitizer first on your plate...then add your alcohol inks!

[@FairytalesCardCraft]

Lovely work. I like most 19:40 Flower one. I have that round gelli plate, but don't have roller yet :D So I have to wait until I can try this

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it x

I will have to give alcohol inks a try on my gelli plate! Nice crisp image. I really like the stencil you used with the warm colors - the one with different diamond and square shapes. Could you share what brand it is? Thanks!

Would I have to clean the Gelli plate with something after using alcohol ink or just press clean sheet of paper on to make sure it is clean?

Hello Teresa! I can't find sequin waste. Is there another name for it? I live in Canada 🇨🇦 so it may be called something different here. I love your videos! They are so informative. Thank you and take care!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Hi! The only other name I know for it is Punchinella. Thank you for your kind words x

[@cheriturner7852]

Love the video! One thought..since the addition of one alcohol inc over another, reactivates the ink underneath it, This would totally disturb the initial stripe pattern that you’re trying to put on in the background. And that’s a thought as to why you’re not getting the stripe background that you want.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou - the stripe design remains in the areas that were masked by the stencil. It would have been a wiser choice to pick a stencil with smaller openings and more surface area of the actual stencil.

[@rosalynpowell3310]

Hi. I love your videos. I tried this technique but my inks just pooled. It's a fairly new Gelli plate. Any tips?

[@ninamcgowan6133]

Loved your videos and the way you explain your process. Did you make the mats yourself or did you buy them ready made? Thank you for your response.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you - I make my own.

[@CherryBlossomHill]

I noticed that you're using very thin paper, when I've used the gel press in the past, I found it very difficult to lift the paper off, can you recommend what type of paper is best for alcohol inks with the gel press?

[@cheryl7476]

You made some pretty prints, Teresa. I love playing with alcohol inks on the Gelli plate. Haven’t done it in awhile, so I think I will play with them today. Thanks, Teresa for the inspiration.

Thankyou xx

[@vickirivera1052]

Hi, I think that the one with the black looked like a bathtub drain. 😜

[@brookematthews4431]

When you remove the stencil you could lay it down on a piece of paper for another print.. no waist

[@sheilagray2051]

Hi there, I've never thought of using alcohol inks with my jellyplate ...thank you so much for the video and inspiration. I was thinking as I watched about adding the paint onto the stencil before washing off the inks to see what results you'd get. Hate to see good ink go to waste, I'm a waste not want not kinda girl :0) x

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you! You can try, but the ink kind of sticks to the stencil so I don't know if it will pull off and give a print - but, you have nothing to lose by trying!
