Hello everyone, Giovanna here today. Are you enjoying the September ABC challenge on Gelli Arts® Instagram account? Every day there’s a new post following the daily prompt from one member of the team, and everyone can participate using the hashtag #ABCPRINTINGCHALLENGE, so there’s a lot of fun, inspiration and ideas to share from all over the world. Amongst the other prompts I picked WHITE, and I found three ways to incorporate/use white paint in your gel prints. Enjoy!
You can use opaque white paint to get bold botanical prints on dark colored paper and add stenciled details with white translucent paint and titan buff:
You can use opaque white paint to transfer magazine pages on colored paper. I experimented a bit with vintage magazine adv, leaving the magazine snippet just a couple of seconds on the plate and it worked pretty well.
TIP: When you pull the print with the gel medium leave it on the plate to dry for a few minutes and then lift the paper.
Or you can use any white paint to get a lovely resist effect with stencils and any water based ink such watercolors or Distress Ink:

–Gelli Arts® 5×7 gel printing plate
-Gelli Arts® 6×6 gel printing plate
–Gelli Arts® ‘Wonderland’ stencil
