Gelli Printing

Hello and welcome to 

Kristie Kreates!

Have you ever done gelli plate printing?

If you don't know what it is or how it's done, 
here's a video that will give you some basic information

about it and techniques to use.

There are different sizes and brands of gelli plates

available on the market, but I made mine following

this video

and it turned out great.

I love playing with my gelli plate,

here are some of the prints I made recently with mine.

This one has some remnants of  colors I used

that had dried onto the plate.

It's tough to see, but I used a stencil on this one,

I covered the painted area with a stencil, 

put a paper over it to lift some of the paint,

then took the stencil off and pulled another print.

Just lifted a couple different colors on this one.

Depending how much you put onto the plate, 

will determine what kind of coverage you get.

I love that this one has a lot of lines and "wrinkles" in it.

A couple more done with stencils.

For this one I put down paint, laid down some leaves,

made a print then lifted off the leaves and pulled another

print.

Sometimes you  don't get something all that great,

like this red and orange one, but I do like the gray, pink and blue

on the other half of the sheet.

Another one using a stencil.

I know these don't look like much, but they will go into

my background stash and I will eventually find a use for them.

I have already made some cards with some of my prints 

and I'll be sharing those here on the blog soon.

So come again soon and see what I've done with some of

my gelli prints.

Thanks for spending time here and I'll see you again soon.

Until then:

give something new a try.
