Hi everyone! Ranger Ink kindly sent me their new Gel Printing Plate so I thought it would be perfect for today's Mixed Media Monday to play and create some tags using it! Over on my YouTube channel you can find an unboxing but I don't like JUST an unboxing so I go right into playing with the new gel plate.  

Once I got started, I just didn't want to stop so the video is on the longer side but I think it's worth it. I will also be back next week with a Part 2 sharing how I took one of the tags to a completed project. I think the new gel plate will be awesome in assisting me with any creative block because it's really a no thinking kind of creating. Just adding paints, stencils, textures, etc until you're ready to stop. I even show you how to correct a background that might have gotten too busy.

Here are just a few more close ups of the tags and all that gorgeous texture. I am honestly, as I type this, planning for my next creative sessions with the Gel Plate!

I hope you'll enjoy this video!
