Thank you for sharing. It was such fun to watch and hear your joy for each piece. It is such a blessing that your husband not only encourages you but helps provide for your endeavors. They are all so generous I couldn't pick just one but the gold and red sunflower would definitely be in the top 5. The digital packs are so generous of you to do. Allowing people to purchase some of your art, that they can then add some of their own. Awesome.
You’re so welcome! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for watching. ❤️ I’m so grateful for my husband’s support. He believed in me and my art even when I didn’t. 😊
Thank you for the inspiration. I was just preparing to use my gel plate for a nature journal. I love the way you changed the plain paper into wonderful papers to use for projects in your art.😊
Lovely idea, I am new to your channel by accident. And even more so when there are little furry creatures. Dog dynamics are not unlike humans, an alpha male will try to dominate simple! luv n light x
These are beautiful. I have several oacks of plain coloured paper and card, untouched, not knowing what to do with them. This is brilliant because I work with textiles and have plenty. I have gelli plates and haven't used them yet. This has inspired me to try it now. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you for the tip. I sometimes keep a tub of water nearby to soak them after use. Quick washing machine cycle after soaking takes a lot of paint off, too. Sometimes, I leave the paint to dry on the fabric. I find it becomes less absorbent with some paint on it 😊
I just discovered your channel and I love your ideas. I have so much paper like this and a lot of fabric and lace. I can hardly wait to get started. Thank you so much for sharing. 💜
Thank you for everything that you share, it’s always amazing, very well explained and the results are awesome ! I really want to try so many of what I see on your videos ! Thanks again 😊
(New subscriber). I absolutely love these. Just moved, still trying to get settled, but watching you sort of scratched the itch to create. These are just fabulous!
I have a gelliplate, plain colored paper and paints - why did it never come to me to use this paper on the gelliplate? Love the idea so much, thank you!!
Really impressed how just paint, lace and gelli plate did such a great job 🧡🧡🧡Of course, you too 🧡😉 Your digital kit turned out amazing! I had bought it immediately 🙊
I really like this it's very pretty I like the use of the colored paper you don't seem to have to put so much color on your paper that it's almost finished your papers thicker I'm just very impressed with how much fun it looks like I mean you're basically making your own design to paper
Don't forget when you peel the fabric off, you can get a print from that too! Lay it paint side up on your desk and brayer paper on the top of it. That way you get a positive and negative print from one process and waste almost no paint. 😊 You can also brayer paint directly onto your vinyl tablecloth, then flip that onto your plain gel plate so the only paint that goes on is the pattern. Again peel it off, and print two sheets of paper, one on the plate and one on the vinyl. I'm always buying these papers too in bold colours! Why do we do that? 😂 Although this process certainly gives them more of a muted wallpaper look that's a LOT more usable. I tend to use plain colours for die cutting leaves and flowers or that sort of thing. I think the reason I can't resist buying them, is because those papers tend to be geared towards children and not for proper arts and crafts - ... AND YET ... - are far thicker and cheaper than buying ordinary adult art quality white papers or card! Why that is I don't know? You'd think the dye and heavier weight to them would make them more expensive, not cheaper! I've only got a 6" x 6" jelly plate so I cant do whole sheets....but I may just lightly brayer paint all over my vinyl tablecloths and use them as the jelly plate, to transfer the paint to the paper. I bet you could make a whole batch of lacy looking patterns just using white gesso! Oooh I've got some gorgeous shimmery watercolour paints that would look beautiful for light splatters all over the top. Got my brain whirring! I'm waiting for a set of black and white fineliner pens to be delivered and I bet those doodled here and there around the pattern shapes would create a more defined pattern. Oooh or my metallic gel pens in silver or gold! They would really transform the swirls of print into some historical opulent fabric or wall covering! 😍 So many options...and so damn cheap to do! It doesn't matter if it goes wrong really, not when it's only costing pennies per sheet. I like crafts like this sometimes, where you're not trying to make a finished project, you're just having fun and experimenting. There's no pressure, it doesn't matter if your crafting buzz has reached a standstill, or you can't think of what to make. You just sit down like a kid, get the paints out and get messy. Actually I think I may head out to my patio and have a day of this over the weekend! I've got a ton of that long Amazon packing paper that I carefully separated along the perforations, into individual sheets and ironed them. Some of those would be cool with some pattern and texture. And of course my thick WAD of bright paper will go out with me too! I'm actually excited! I've been making things for Father's Day and feeling the pressure to make things to PERFECTION. If I make things as gifts I'm MEGA FUSSY and they have to be perfect, or I'll just start again and get annoyed at myself! 😠 And so I'm looking forward to a more relaxed craft session, out in the sunshine, listening to chirping birds, and clearing my head of high expectations of myself. I'm gonna get a basket filled up with everything I need in advance! I'm really really excited! Like I'm planning a day trip! 😁 I'm so glad I watched! Thank you! 😘 xxxxx
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it inspiring. Thank you so much for your nice comment. I wish you lots of crafting fun ❤️❤️❤️
Love them all Dragana, they're gorgeous!! 💜💜💜 I made my own gelli plate years ago, need to pull it out and give it a try, have yet to test it out, lol. Beautiful kit and great video!! 🙂
Super cool ideas to make that boring papers so so pretty😍😍 Thanks again for always beding so inspiring with different ideas to use stuff. Greetings from the Nerherlands Maia
I played with this technique and loved it...thanks. My colored paper is cardstock weight so not as useful for collage as thinner weight. Will look for thinner colored paper and try again.
Wonderful, you just added an awesome idea to my mental collection of what my husband and I could do during vacation in hot summers in cities. To get some air conditioning we can visit thrift stores where he will look for his favorite stuff and I will look for textured fabrics & plastics. Up until now I only checked old books & magazines sections and now I will add textiles (clothing, drapery, tablecloths, placemats and such) to the routine. I love your box of diy stamps and thanks a ton for showing ideas of using silhouette templates on gel plate as masks (to be followed with decorating with posca pens afterwords). Gold prints on black look stunning. It is so satisfying to see your experiments, you have real talent.
Yes and yes! You can do this on copy paper and you can do it on both sides. I would wait for the paint to be completely dried on one side before printing on the other 😊
Silicone mats work. I place it on a thin foam placemat enclosed in a zip lock bag for a little give. Brayer needs a little cushion. There are different silicone thicknesses to choose from.
Hello! I just found your channel. Just am FYI read the instructions that came with your new plate. You are not supposed to use the plastic film that came on the plate for storage. The recommend to use paper and then put back in the clam shell. ❤
Why do you (and I) keep buying colored papers (and other art supplies)? My belief is that it is the shadow side of being creative; we see something -paper, paint, fabric, beads, whatever, and we have an idea for a project, and we feel the need to actualize that project. Forget that we already have so many supplies. Others call us greedy, but then people love to criticize the flaws in others while ignoring their own.
I love this. I have colored papers in all of my journals. These papers are so bold. This is a very nice way to jaz up these plain colored papers
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 😊❤️
gorgeous prints! i have not thought of using fabric. awesome idea! thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching ❤️
Wow! I screamed with happiness too! some beautiful results!
Thank you so much ❤️
One of the best Gelli plate demonstrations I’ve seen so far. I’m new to this process. I’m starting with a small plate. Love your work❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment 😊❤️

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching ❤️😊
Phenomenal! I never knew this existed. You have a beautiful eye for colors. Love this video!
Thank you so much! ❤️😊
Such a fun idea to add lace to the Gelli plate!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching ❤️😊

Wow how gorgeous these Prints are!! 👌❤ Thank you so much for sharing how you print them Dragana ❤
The digital kit is absolutely awesome.
You are so welcome! Glad you liked them. Thank you very much for watching 😊❤️
Such a fantastic idea. I have a bunch of papers and cardstock from my card making days. Super happy to have this idea to transform them.
Wonderful! Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊❤️
Beautiful papers Dragana & uour array of DIY masks & stencils very impressive.
G'day & congratulations from Australia 🎉 🐨 🐾

Really good & a new idea for me to use color paper✨The metallic paints are cool & the dress patterns are cute. Digital kit 👍🏻💚🐾
Thank you so much ❤️😊
These are beautiful. I have several oacks of plain coloured paper and card, untouched, not knowing what to do with them. This is brilliant because I work with textiles and have plenty. I have gelli plates and haven't used them yet. This has inspired me to try it now. Thank you so much for sharing.
You’re very welcome! Glad it inspired you 😊❤️
I believe that if you would put the fabric immediately into water the paint might come out and you can use it again. I do that with my silk screens.
Thank you for the tip. I sometimes keep a tub of water nearby to soak them after use. Quick washing machine cycle after soaking takes a lot of paint off, too. Sometimes, I leave the paint to dry on the fabric. I find it becomes less absorbent with some paint on it 😊
Absolutely gorgeous! You are so talented!
Thank you so much! ❤️
Great project. Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing the project and for a good tutorial. Your new digitals are awesome.
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️

The black paper with gold is beautiful, it could be right for a cover
Thank you so much 😊❤️

You are so welcome Maia! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching ❤️
You made some great prints from these fabrics. Great way to rid the bright color papers. Thanks a lot, Dragena.
You are so welcome! Glad you like them ❤️
Love the fabric prints.
TFS❤
I’m so glad! Thank you for watching ❤️
I really love this demonstration. Thank you so much. I also added you to my subscribed list and look forward to more videos from you.
Awesome, thank you so much for watching and subscribing 😊❤️
Thank you for this. Now I know what to do with all of my colored paper.
I’m so glad! Thanks for watching ❤️
Just amazing jelli prints. I am so inspired. Thank you!

Very cool
Thank you 😊❤️
I love all of it. Just curious… is there a specific reason you have the plastic covering the plate?
Thank you! Perhaps there was a reason but I can’t remember now. 😊
Do you demonstrate how to do the pages that are half and half or how to do the lined pages for a journal? Thank you
No, I don’t. I do lined pages digitally 😊
@@Saacibo thank you 😊
Printing starts at 8:50 minutes
Thank you for watching.
These are so interesting, is it possible to also do this on both sides? Will it work on copy paper or is it too thin? Thank you I really enjoyed this
Yes and yes! You can do this on copy paper and you can do it on both sides. I would wait for the paint to be completely dried on one side before printing on the other 😊
@@Saacibo thank you
Is there an alternative to the actual gel plate ti begin with?
I left a link to a tutorial in the description below the video. It’s on how to make a gelli plate at home. 😊
Silicone mats work. I place it on a thin foam placemat enclosed in a zip lock bag for a little give. Brayer needs a little cushion. There are different silicone thicknesses to choose from.
Is this card stock.paper you are using?
Yes 😊

Hello! I just found your channel. Just am FYI read the instructions that came with your new plate. You are not supposed to use the plastic film that came on the plate for storage. The recommend to use paper and then put back in the clam shell. ❤
Thanks for the info! I’ll do that. 😊
People break that rule for a reason. To leave one plastic on keeps that side unused & see-through. Turn to see the design 🐾🙂💚
Excellent prints. I have a lot of paper like that. Great idea! 💙🦋

So true! I’m just glad that I found a way to use these papers and have fun. 😆
Gorgeous!!
