    These prints are so pretty. Sometimes I see gel prints that are super “grungy” and that’s ok if that’s what you want, but it isn’t my style. I really like what you’ve done with these.

    I briefly looked but don't see anyone mentioning you have a spelling error in your title. I don't want others to not find you when looking for gel printing inspiration. In case no one told you today...you are an amazing artist/crafter...a true down-to-earth instructor. I return every time you put a new video out.

    Aww Natasha! I love the way you use your Gel plate, and those designs are absolutely gorgeous. Love the ‘thank you’ card and the bird one too. Sometimes gel prints can look a bit arty or mixed media grungey for my taste, but it goes to show that I can do softer backgrounds or feminine designs. I need to stop feeling intimidated by my gel plate and get stuck in! Thanks for the inspiration as always 😊❤

    I have a gel plate and I finally got it out last year. I always thought it would be hard to use. I started experimenting with it and my granddaughter tried it with me. It was nice just to mix colors and use my stencils. My granddaughter liked it too because as she said there are no rules to make it perfect

    Natasha, you've given me the courage to play with my brand new gel pad. Thank you for that.
    I agree with you on the sentiment issue. I rarely add sentiments because they limit the use of a beautiful card and so often cover up our gorgeous artwork. The person receiving the card pretty much knows that the card they received is for their birthday, Valentines Day or Easter etc. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. I love Monday, Wednesday and Friday because I know you'll be uploading. Hugs.

    So glad you have shown some ideas for using gel prints. I have got a gel plate in mint condition as wasn't sure how to use it. Wasn't sure if you wait for paint to dry between coats and before lifting the prints. Will have to have a play now 😊 thanks so much for your continued ideas and inspiration.

  • @barbarahill6365
    @barbarahill6365 7 місяців тому

    Natasha, don’t put the plastic sheet on your gelli plate, you end up with the bubbles that don’t go away. Put a piece of copy paper on both sides to store, then put it in your clam shell. A gel plate expert Elizabeth St. Hillary (sure I butchered that!) has UA-cam videos that really help. She worked for the Gellie plate company.
