Tips for Layering Stencils on the Gel Plate

My Secret to Complex Gel Prints is Mindful Layering

Layer, layer, layer....It's the secret to creating intricate prints on the gel plate. But it’s not just about adding layers—it's about carefully combining different shapes and sizes of stencil patterns with both translucent and opaque paint colors. Mastering the art of layered gel printing will elevate your mixed media projects, collages, cards, and other paper crafts. Plus, the process itself is incredibly meditative and satisfying! This week I am playing with my NEW Patterns for Layering Set #3 again, they are just so much fun.
