[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! I had a wonderful time creating and playing and experimenting. Thanks for checking it out!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Annette, I really really enjoyed watching you make and use those fantastic and wonderful collage papers. And I’m learning so much from you. I really love ❤❤❤❤ your creative style and you teach so well too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

I'm so happy you're enjoying my projects and my teaching style. That means everything to me! Thanks for your sweet comment.

[@jodieb4970]

I never thought of printing on deli paper. I love being able to use all these different papers for crafting.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Isn't it great? I love using up what I have in the house too. Sometimes you don't know what will work until you try it.

[@karenkirkman4723]

Awww such fun collage tissue. So many different looks!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Karen. So much fun to play and experiment.

[@janewebster7661]

Lovely papers. They are so nice. Your junk journal is looking pretty. 😊❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Jane. Little by little, it's coming together, and it's such a pleasure to add on to each time.

[@crschwartz380]

Really nice love the different ways to do collaging. Looking forward to next week's video

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Chava. It's such a relaxing and enjoyable process. I think you can probably tell by how long the video was this week. See you next time!

[@celineworotniak4349]

Collage papers are my favorite thing to play with on a gel plate. Have some new tissue paper that I need to try. So many ideas and not enough time. LOL Great video Annette!

[@AnnetteGreen]

If only we didn't "have to" sleep! Right? There's always so much I want to try also. I hope you like your new tissue paper and give this a go!

[@ckit8176]

Gorgeous papers and I loved how you incorporated them onto your journal pages!-Carleen:)

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Carleen! It's such a fun and rewarding process. I hope you give it a try too!

[@mariebinkin4365]

Lovely lovely creations Annette! You inspired me to buy a small gelli plate😊 I had so much fun experimenting with colors and patterns! Some were beautiful, others not so much......
I so appreciate your tutorials!!

[@AnnetteGreen]

That's wonderful to hear, Marie. I'm glad you got one and are already enjoying it. It's an ongoing experiment, but as you continue to play and try things, you'll find more confidence in what works and what to stay away from. I'm still learning all the time.

[@belindazimmer2107]

Great tutorial for using the various paper types on the gelli plate. I loved so many of the designs and colors you created. Perfect timing for your video too because I already had the wet strength tissue in my cart on Amazon from last week. Now I’ll purchase it at Joggles and save some money. I’ve been gathering a few household items for my mark making stash of goodies to use on my next gelli plate printing session. I really want to try making a junk journal using the more pretty papers/items/pockets/tags type of method to just be able to put in it whatever I feel like on that day…a no rules type of process. I hope others watching your video will give it a try if they’re new to the process of gelli printing or a bit scared because it’s is just so darn fun and there’s something so creatively freeing about making these prints no matter what the end result is, and you learn more each time you have a play. Thanks so much for the inspiration and your prints came out so beautiful!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Belinda. It truly is such a pleasure to make gel printed tissue papers and well, everything, for my junk journal. It's an ongoing creative process and that's the beauty of it for sure, and I can tell that you understand and would really enjoy junk journaling. I hope you like the wet-strength tissue when it arrives. Joggles ships quickly so I love buying from them. Thanks for watching again this week and for such an uplifting and wonderful comment!

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you!😊

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@rosalindfeemster8049]

Papers turned out so pretty. I will definitely try these

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much! I hope you DO try them and have fun doing so.

[@marycoughlin5645]

Love your videos so much❤❤❤❤

[@AnnetteGreen]

Aww, Mary, you are so kind. And that makes my heart so very happy. Thank you. ❤

[@amyt6254]

Thank you so much! This video is exactly what I needed, as I have been trying to figure out how to decorate my own tissue paper.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Awesome! I hope you have fun making yours too!

[@claudialowe2727]

These are great!

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so much Claudia!

[@sallyedwards2911]

Wow, so inspiring and so much fun! Now to find that Tissue Paper on Aus 🤩TFS💜

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks Sally. I hope you have some luck finding some. It's quite worth hunting down.

[@sewinlove_co]

So pretty! The wrinkles are probably caused by the paper fibers expanding. It makes sense that the wet strength tissue fibers would be stabilized somehow, because that's what causes paper to weaken when it's wet. FWIW, I use regular tissue paper without issues, though it does wrinkle a little when I use Liquitex Basics instead of Golden Fluid. I can usually prevent it by the way I lay the tissue down and I can often smooth them out. It really depends on the brand of the paper.

[@AnnetteGreen]

So very helpful, thank you!

[@marycoughlin5645]

I just ordered a gelli printing plate yesterday❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊

[@AnnetteGreen]

Yay!! Time to play soon!

[@julienelson6074]

Here is an option for when you use watercolor/distress ink/things that move with water. While your gel plate is out, add a think layer of gel medium and lay your print with movable product on it to create a seal. This way you can brush over it later with no worries of altering your print.

[@AnnetteGreen]

Good idea! I may give that a try! Thanks Julie.

[@marycoughlin5645]

Happy Sunday Annette❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AnnetteGreen]

I hope you had a Happy Sunday as well!

[@greetleemans2527]

Soooo beautiful 🤩🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@AnnetteGreen]

Thanks so very much Greet!

[@brendacooper7944]

After tissue paper dries, maybe iron it to get wrinkles out.

[@AnnetteGreen]

That's a thought. Thanks!

[@dianejohnson7212]
