NEW gel plate? Use the natural separation with fluid acrylics for a sensational effect!
Finally back with a new short! #My100CollagePapers may be done, but the art continues. Fluid acrylics separate more than my usual tube Liquitex Basics acrylics.

Gel Printing With Die-Cut Letters (ABC Printing Challenge Idea #20)
T is for TYPOGRAPHY! Gelli Arts® artist Birgit Koopsen loves using letters and numbers in monoprints. For this print, she uses the negative pieces of die-cut letters. The alphabet die used is the discontinued 658563 Alterations from Sizzix. You can use the paper die cuts often; as paint builds up, they only get stronger. #gelliarts #gelprinting #printmaking #monoprinting #arteducation #gelplate #printingplate #abcprintingchallenge

Tutorial: Use a gelli plate to collage
Did you know you can use a gel plate WHILE you are creating the collage? A few tips… 1) Gather your collage paper. 2) Trim your collage paper to smaller sizes and glue on to your paper.

Have fun!💥🎉🎨
Gelli Arts® Gel Printing on Instagram: "Birgit loves the unpredictable nature of ‘Alcohol Inks’ on the Gelli Arts® Gel Printing Plate, and we can’t help but agree!😍👩🏻🎨 It’s always a delightful surprise to see how things unfold. Sometimes, the ink gracefully seeps underneath the mask or stencil, resulting in a distressed, uneven appearance. Other times, it yields sharp, crisp outlines. Birgit finds it particularly thrilling when both effects come together in a single print, as seen here. She emphasizes the importance of allowing the inks to dry completely before removing any masks or stencils. If they’re still wet, they’ll continue to flow, potentially compromising the desired shapes. While alcohol inks pull from the plate very easily, some colors may leave stains, as evidenced by th
