Beautiful cards. Gelli plates are so addicting. You can get so lost experimenting with it. Just like the lays potato chip ad that says... "I bet you just can't eat one"... Instead it's " I bet you just can't make one.". They are so much fun and get your creativity juices flowing. Highly recommend one if you are in a creative slump.

I took an online class where one of the instructors used Distress Oxide inks on a gel press. Worked great! Not sure if the original Distress inks would work, since they tend to bead up on slicker surfaces (e.g. photopolymer stamps), but I would think pigment inks would work just fine, since the Oxides do have a pigment property. Hope this helps! :)

@@andrealavigne7824 Thank you. I tried it today and wasn't thrilled with the results. The colours didn't blend well. Perhaps my pigment inks are too old or too dry. Also the yellow pigment ink I used stained my gel plate so it now has a yellow tinge to it. :(
