Great video tutorials, Karen, thank you so much ! No need to apologise for repeating instructions and explanations ... that is exactly what us newbies need !!! Repetition is important. That is why this video is so helpful and one of my absolute favourites . Thank you !! 🤗🤗
I love how fast you are, instead of waiting and waiting on other people. I'm very happy to have found you, you are so talented. Thank you and God Bless.
Girl, just stop it! I can’t believe these papers. I can’t even get through all the painty papers I have right now and here you are tempting me with all this grungy deliciousness! 😵💫
Watching someone else do gelli printing is almost as addictive as doing it myself!🤣 I love this idea of using the black paint first. I haven’t seen that before so I’ll have to give that a try. TFS
Karen, this is a fabulous video. Simple techniques with outstanding results. I love the stencils and your color choices. I’ve watched it twice and I will probably watch it again. Thanks and Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Karen. I love all the prints you pulled !! Especially the last one with adding more black to the gel plate. Now you are enabling me to go purchase another gel plate 🙃😊
Hi Karen, your video has been such a help to me. I’m new to Gelli printing and love it. Your information and keep repeating what you are doing has been so beneficial to me. I have now got it. Thank you. I enjoyed watching your tutorial . X
Thank you so much Karen, I really really enjoyed watching you creating all these amazing and stunning grungy print’s, I really really love ❤️ each and every one of them. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Had my eye on several of these stencils so i was thrilled to come across this video. I feel much more confident in my choices waiting for me in my cart
Love your methods and instruction !! I have never seen this method. I've found copy paper resists the paint on gel plates and have moved to rice paper for better absorption of the paint. I wandered through your channel for 3 hours today and thank you !
Thank you. Interesting about copy paper....every one is different. I do have some rice paper and should dig it out and use it next gel print session. I love using tissue paper too , but that does get tricky as the tissue gets wet and weak. K
Karen, I absolutely loved this tutorial! I loved all the grungey goodness going on, I can't wait to sit down and have a play of my own! Thank you, Marylou from Edmonton
Gorgeous! I’d frame them all! Thanks for the inspiration! I have a couple of gel presses and I sometimes get stuck for colour combinations but I have some great ones now. Thank you xx
Thank you for your kind words. I really like this technique and the results....I'd like to play around with different stencils and colors and see what comes of it...so many options...so little time. K
Hi Karen I'm love this technique, thank you for sharing with us ! I will probably give it a try this week-end !!! and I can't tell you which pull I prefer, I love all of them !! have a nice week-end !!
These are fantastic! If I have any suggestion, it would be to show each result longer so we can can get a better look at it after watching the whole process. Most of the beautiful final prints are only visible for less than two seconds. thanks so much!
I don't know If you are watching on an ipad or computer screen.... but on my ipad, if I press pause on the screen, I can look at it for much longer. Also... if you take a screen shot, you will be able to keep it in your photo library to be able to refer to it whenever you fancy !! 🤗🤗
I really like how you've done this video. Very interesting techniques. Thank you for sharing ❤ Oh! And I like your stencils too! Especially Rainbow Branch Circle ⭕😊
Hard to pick a favourite. Lovely job. I wonder if you could pull off the stencil once you take off the black in the open parts and let it dry, the. Add the colors, let it dry and then add the white for the pull? Would the black lift when you added the colours?
Karen if you don't mind my asking where did you get your tiny brayer that I'm seeing you using , I can't find one that small ? Your friend from Corpus Christi Texas .
I got the brayer from Ninnys Napkins....there's a link and coupon code in the description box...it's the Ranger 2 1/2 inch one...I recently got another that size and one that is 3 inches as well as my speedball 4 inch one. I do not recommend the gel press brayers ( mine is way more difficult to clean AND squeaks)
Hi...love the video thank you...what is the difference in gel plate and using gelli plate and do you have to use a extra liquid to help flow the paint..thank you
I use liquitex basics paint primarily...no I don't add extra liquid.... There are two basic brands of gel plates....Gelli Arts and Gel Press...I have both and they are pretty much interchangeable. Get which ever is the better deal. K
I wonder what would happen if you used the black instead of the unbleached titanium on the last layer, if it would make a more stained glass look. I’m going to try it.
Just watched this, and another idea is to pull everything off with clear matte medium, rather than white/buff paint. And patience is required, allowing a good few minutes before pulling.
Great job! You mentioned in this video that there is another video on how to use these prints. I couldn’t find the link however. I’m a new to gel printing and don’t know how or where to use these prints. But definitely would like to incorporate in mixed media etc. Would you mind sharing the link to that video on how to use gel prints?
If you go to the end of the video, it is one of the end cards...suggested videos. The link is an entire playlist with tons of videos on making gel prints and using them. Enjoy.
I’m just a beginner ut you are so inspiring! I was looking at the stencils you were using and saw Stencil Butter on the website. Can you use this instead of/in addition to acrylic paint? I love the shimmer of them.. Thanks so much!
I love the pearlization of the stencil butters too. You can use them in a multitude of ways....like modeling paste , like acrylic paint, brayer it on , use on gel plate ...I have a video or two showcasing ways if you want to check it out. They work beautifully with acrylic paint...you can even add acrylic paint to them to change the color/tone.
Would it help to put the black on, then the stencil, lift off the excess through the stencil, then, lift off the stencil and dry the black before applying the other colors? Then, proceed as usual.
Totally depends on what you are going for...I have not done any stenciling on furniture ( not my thing) so don't even have a clue about what may work/not work. K
I periodically stop and clean it if necessary...but yes the cleanup is easy..Usually I put a coat of paint on top...and then place a paper on top...rub...let dry and pull up...most of paint comes off in the clean up pull. Alternatively I spray with water and wipe off. I've even seen people wash in water in sink. no worries. K
Deine Hintergründe gefallen mir sehr gut. Ich habe mit dem Abziehen des Papieres nie Glück. Bei mir bleibt immer Farbe an der Gelliplate kleben. Darf ich fragen, wie du deine Camera aufgehangen hast?
Danke schön. Welche Art von Gelplatte verwenden Sie? Das Papier löst sich ziemlich schnell ... nachdem Sie es gerieben haben. Ich habe meine Kamera auf einer Arkon-Halterung. es erlaubt mir, die Draufsicht zu bekommen
I probably was dozing when you explained - but when you have all the color down, do you let it all dry before you put on the final solid layer before the pull?
The black layer is done to get the grungy look or effect. If that’s not a look you want then it serves no purpose. I have many other gel printing videos including a series of 5 for beginners that you may find useful. They are all in the gel printing playlist.
That varies depending on type of paint, how much paint etc....even temperature....you just have to experiment with what you have and adjust to get the results. K
i would love to get the stencils that you used in this video can you still get them and the link i did try to get them but for some reason it won't let me
i have 8 stencils in my cart but when i go to pay for them it wants to to sign in i go to my email but your site goes to spam how do you sigin in there no place for a password is there a better way to pay you @@KarenBurchill

That is why this video is so helpful and one of my absolute favourites .
Thank you !! 🤗🤗
Thank you for your kind words. I guess you can't stop a retired teacher from teaching LOL. Good luck gel printing.
Hadn't thought to do a 2nd application over stencil with different coloured paints #genius TFS ❤
Glad you found something new
I love how fast you are, instead of waiting and waiting on other people. I'm very happy to have found you, you are so talented. Thank you and God Bless.
Thank you for watching my videos. I hope you enjoy them and find joy in creating. K
love that 49 Dragonflies used this technique for her #dephemerember paper bags. reminds me of techniques I haven't used in a while
Thank you
Girl, just stop it! I can’t believe these papers. I can’t even get through all the painty papers I have right now and here you are tempting me with all this grungy deliciousness! 😵💫
Yes the grunge is delicious. K
Fabulous lesson. I've finally understood!
Glad it helped! Hope you go and enjoy gelli printing. K
Watching someone else do gelli printing is almost as addictive as doing it myself!🤣 I love this idea of using the black paint first. I haven’t seen that before so I’ll have to give that a try. TFS
I hope you do...it takes a while as you have to wait for it to dry but so worth it. K
Hi, thanks for the video. I used tissue paper to lift off the black paint and used that in collages as well.
Great idea
The last one was my favorite. Thanks for the great ideas 💡
You are so welcome!
Karen, this is a fabulous video. Simple techniques with outstanding results. I love the stencils and your color choices. I’ve watched it twice and I will probably watch it again. Thanks and Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

I use this technique as well, it's one of my favorites. Enjoyed watching you create, never tire of watching gel printing videos!
You are so welcome! I love making gel printing videos....or just making gel prints.
Loved them all!! The one you didn’t like was my favorite lolol
There is no bad gel print...LOL...K
Hello Karen. I love all the prints you pulled !! Especially the last one with adding more black to the gel plate. Now you are enabling me to go purchase another gel plate 🙃😊
These are absolutely grungy great.....and make perfect instant background. K
I needed this basic tutorial today. I’m a newbie and have been getting confused with what color to layer when, which step to dry, etc. thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Happy creating. K

Thank you....beauty is in the eye of the beholder. K
Had my eye on several of these stencils so i was thrilled to come across this video. I feel much more confident in my choices waiting for me in my cart
Sometimes it helps to see a stencil being used. K
Really amazing! The best I’ve seen from all the videos that I’ve watched all over RUclips! Thank you, thank you, thank you!😊
Wow, thank you!
I love the color wheel!
Thank you for watching K
Looking for new ideas and this video was very inspirational. I love the prints with more black in them. Thanks for sharing.
Happy gel printing...hmmm it might be time to do a gel printing session. K
Got a laser cutter and cant wait to combine graphic design with this and some other painting methods.
OMG you are headed to fun times....
Thank you for the very clear and easy instructions! Your explanations are so very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Have fun with your gel plate. K

De jolis papiers colorés , merci du partage.

What a cool technique!
Thank you. It gives great effects. Hope you give it a try. Kn

Thank you, I do love gelli printing. K
Excellent tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
This looks really fun. What is the clear board you have laid the gel plate on?
It is either the glass/plastic from a picture OR a plastic cutting board from Dollar Store. K
I was just getting ready to use some new stencils I received for Christmas. Perfect timing! Thank you! As always, I love your tutorials.
Timing is everything. Lol.
Brilliant
thank you...hope you give it a try
Love this technique!
Gives an interesting print doesnt it. k
Wow!! Those are stunning.
Thank you! 😊
This is great. I am new to gel printing and am keen to try this technique. Love the grunge.
These are definitely full on grundge. K
Awesome. Love process and product.
Thank you...got to do some projects with them . Hopefully soon . K
Gorgeous! I’d frame them all! Thanks for the inspiration! I have a couple of gel presses and I sometimes get stuck for colour combinations but I have some great ones now. Thank you xx
You are so welcome!
Great ones, my favorites are the second one from the front and the third from the end
Thank you ....just uploaded another gel printing session...this time using 2 gel plates. K
yea i needed to come watch this one as well lol and i'm glad this came up in my feed - such wonderful prints Karen 🤗
gelli prints make me happy
I rarely use white or unbleached for a final pull. The pull layer is another opportunity to add color.
Good point....I'll have to experiment with other colors. K
Love all of them, each one unique. Can’t pick a winner!
I agree....time to use them on a page. K
Great tutorial...thanks!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
This was a lovely, relaxing Sunday afternoon video that I enjoyed very much. Thank you. Your prints are all beautiful.
Thank you for your kind words. I really like this technique and the results....I'd like to play around with different stencils and colors and see what comes of it...so many options...so little time. K
Great work ❤, I would love
to see what do you do with the prints ?
I use them off and on in my art journal tutorials. I also have a playlist gel prints- create them and use them if you want ideas. K
Hi Karen I'm love this technique, thank you for sharing with us ! I will probably give it a try this week-end !!! and I can't tell you which pull I prefer, I love all of them !!

Absolutely have to try this! It's beautiful!!
Is it using acrylic paints
Yes all acrylic paint....mostly Liquitex Basics
Love it 👍👍❤.
thank you . K
Loved your vid. Thanks. Also, what kind of paper do you use for the print?
Thanks so much Cindy. When I do gel prints I usually use plain copy paper. K
Very nice very very nice!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Beautiful! I’m not seeing the “how to clean stencils” link. Will you please provide it? Thank you.
here you go

Just watched this, and another idea is to pull everything off with clear matte medium, rather than white/buff paint. And patience is required, allowing a good few minutes before pulling.
I have heard of using gel medium but have not tried it. K
Maybe try it on black paper, too?
Can you use a hair dryer (on cold) to hasten the drying time?
I have never used my hair dryer....you could tentatively try it and see....but absolutely no heat.
Great job! You mentioned in this video that there is another video on how to use these prints. I couldn’t find the link however.

Can you please do a journal page with blue and using the geonetting stencil
I will add that to my inspiration list. K
Hi...how do you use these gel prints afterwards? Mount on birchwood...how do you incorporate it to a card...?
Check out my playlist creating and Using gel prints. I also use them lots on art journal pages
Would it help to put the black on, then the stencil, lift off the excess through the stencil, then, lift off the stencil and dry the black before applying the other colors? Then, proceed as usual.
Good ideas. K
I need to create a stencil that I can apply to furniture...I am going to try to do this after getting ideas from your video...any suggestions?
Totally depends on what you are going for...I have not done any stenciling on furniture ( not my thing) so don't even have a clue about what may work/not work. K
Amazing! What is the company name for the stencils please? I couldn’t catch it.
The Crafters Workshop TCW
Nice video!
Are u by chance in Santa Rosa area?
Thanks. No. I am in bc Canada
If all you have is heavy bodied paint, should you mix it with a medium to loosen it up?
I've seen people do that.....I have never done that....with each different type of paint you have to adjust...play with it and see what works best. K
Will that 5"X 7" gelli plate clean up after all of this rolling paint out on it?
I periodically stop and clean it if necessary...but yes the cleanup is easy..Usually I put a coat of paint on top...and then place a paper on top...rub...let dry and pull up...most of paint comes off in the clean up pull. Alternatively I spray with water and wipe off. I've even seen people wash in water in sink. no worries. K

I probably was dozing when you explained - but when you have all the color down, do you let it all dry before you put on the final solid layer before the pull?
Yes..put color down , lift stencil...cover with paint and pull
A newbie here. Just curious what is the point of putting the black paint down and remove it?
The black layer is done to get the grungy look or effect. If that’s not a look you want then it serves no purpose. I have many other gel printing videos including a series of 5 for beginners that you may find useful. They are all in the gel printing playlist.
it gives the grundgy effect..
Como se llama esta técnica, y que papel se ocupa
Esta es una forma de conseguir papel de collage sucio. Usas el papel de collage cuando creas arte... como fondo o como parte de la composición.
