So many great ideas! I just love the soft, smooth effect the distress oxides give...very different from acrylics. The initial prints look like minimalist landscapes. You are such an excellent teacher ... Thank You!!

[@nettiewashington5168]

Great lessons, thank you

[@barbaraedmondson1596]

This is a great instruction al video lesson on gelli printing techniques! I enjoyed watching & learning from you, Teresa.

[@cassfonnesbeck8057]

Love these ideas! Plus after pressing your stencil on the inked gelly plate, press the stencil with the lifted ink on paper. It makes a great distressed print. So many possibilities! Love how you used the embossing folder to print...cool!

[@reginabasart5080]

Hi, all of your background techniques can be used for cards, but I don’t waste my time watching youtubers make sesnseless mud, that I would throw in the trash can. Loved them all, T4s.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!

Thankyou - I enjoyed using a different medium with my gel plate xx

[@timeenuf4200]

Nicely done. Very professional and lots of great examples. Too many commercials but hey. KZbin is getting a lot more like TV. Thanks for the huge effort of time to make this video.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Yes, sorry about the ads but they do help support the channel. I am glad you enjoyed the video x

I just purchased two gel plates and after watching your vid I feel way more at ease to try 'em out.....Thank you for the confidence boost!!

[@TeresaMorgan]

You are so welcome!

[@ukjojo]

Wonderful videos, you've completely inspired me to go and buy a Gelli Plate and have a play. Thank you :)

[@TeresaMorgan]

Have fun x

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

Thanks for this. Lots of great ideas. I am new to gel printing and using Distress Oxides is a very good way to get a quite different effect. I love the texture you get from printing with them - much more interesting and textured than a plain blended background.

[@stephaniepaterson6340]

This was wonderful...thank you! I’m new to gel plates but what made this special was showing what could be done with the backgrounds...ie cards! (This is my stumbling block. ). I’ve subscribed...just about to binge watch your videos.....

[@sherylosullivan9619]

Thanks heaps!

[@whyducks1]

Lovely video thanks Kate. x

Very informative video. I am just getting into Gelli plate printing and enjoyed learning about using Distress Ink. Thank you.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou!

[@jennygee9849]

some terrific prints Teresa...love the cards you made with them, especially the Facebook card made me laugh...all your cards bring a smile to my face

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you. you are very kind xx

[@billkarley2093]

Second video of yours I’ve watched and I’ve subscribed. Thank you so much for great ideas especially the use of the embossing folders. Mine have sat in storage for a few years now, now I feel they’ve got a place at my art table again as I don’t card make often at all anymore I’ve moved onto mixed media artwork and been playing with that for quite a few years now. So I appreciate seeing how to reuse a product in a new way. Thank you so much for sharing cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🇦🇺

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thanks for subbing!

[@created2bless322]

Loved all of these ideas and techniques! Thank you for sharing. Have you done any with watercolors?

[@gagaforgluing8247]

New subbie here. All of these prints are amazing and beautiful. I had no idea you can use Oxides on the gelli plate. I've recently treated myself to some Oxides so I shall try this soon 😁. I shall now be going through your videos xxx

[@kandrews6356]

Love your work with the Gel Plate... I have three and don't use them quite enough, but I think I'm going to this year. Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful designs and color combinations.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!!! I hope you find time to play and create art x

[@kandrews6356]

@@TeresaMorgan Me too... I've made a sort-of resolution this year to get up in my studio more this year and just create, create, create. Wish me luck. LOL

[@Reneesfun]

Just figured out. Thanks!

[@wordscrafter]

I've watched lots of gel printing videos and I believe this is my favorite technique. Very pretty!!!!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you so much - I hope you find more inspiration on my channel, I am planning lots of printing videos this year x

[@BarbaraRademacher]

I have just discovered your KZbin channel. I love your video; I love to gelli printing and I have soooooo many Distress Oxide Inks I just never use because I have moved on to using acrylics. You have given me a new purpose for my Distress Oxide inks. Thank you. This video is going in my Favorites, and I have subscribed to your channel.

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thankyou xx So glad you found the video useful x

[@awenbunny]

So much tidier than using paint!

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you!!!

[@jeanpowell981]

I just ordered my first Gelli plate today. So now I’m watching Utube for inspiration. So to add sparkle to my prints, ultimately my homemade cards, can I use glitter on the plate and also Nuvi Drops, Glitter Gels or Liquid Pearls mixed in with the paints or inks? Thanks. I really enjoyed your ideas especially when the end result is my plans also.

[@deniseloeffler5703]

Can you list the specific ink combos of the distress oxide ink pads?

[@gingersnaps4194]

If you see this comment since this is an old video, could you tell me what should NOT be used on a gelli plate? I bought one some time ago but have felt reluctant to use it - this video is motivating me to pull it out! Thank you! ❤

[@cretancrafter2677]

Thanks so much for this easy tutorial. It was a great incentive to actually start using my gel plate. I even turned one of the prints into a card and shared in on my blog and on CraftWorld. I also took the liberty of sharing your video on CraftWorld. Hope that is ok with you. Marianne x

[@jacquiposener7262]

I’ve just watched a previous video ours and now I’ve subscribed! Vert clear and well organised video which makes me realise what I can do with a Gelli plate and want to give it a go. It’s great to see all these techniques! Can I use ordinary distress ink for this too?

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you! Ordinary Distress Ink may 'bead up' on the plate a bit more as it is dye based, so your patterns may not be so crisp.

[@helenspedding-lowe5469]

What a lovely video - clear instructions, lovely effects and cards. I am so jealous that your hands stayed so clean - I was using Distress Inks this evening with my gel plates and I got more ink on me than on the paper! Take care and thank you - nice to have a Northerner on You Tube! xxxx

[@TeresaMorgan]

Thank you so much - I do get my hands dirty, believe me, but I try my hardest to stay clean in the videos 🤣🤣

[@helenspedding-lowe5469]

@@TeresaMorgan oh I'm so glad!😂😂😂

[@Reneesfun]

I'm a newbie and this video is very helpful. Your work is beautiful and the video is soothing to watch (I watch it before bed!). I love the way the cards look. Are you stamping onto them? I"m not super clear how they came together. I will watch it again. Thanks!

[@MsSony12345]

Thank you for techniques ..where did you order the large white "stamp"?

[@yelsyels]

Love the techniques!....Have you tried this with pigment ink? Most of my inks are pigment and only just started to invest in the Distress mini inks.

[@jackiemuller813]

Great videos, thanks for sharing. Can I ask what stamp you used for the last little guy with the scarf. Thanks!

[@TeresaMorgan]

It's by Katzelkraft. The set is called Les Pabos.

[@vickievillagomez3064]

Really pretty. What do you use these print for? Do you usually use card stock?
