Art Backgrounds without a Gel Plate

- I recently shared on social media a set of painted backgrounds I've been working on for a future digital project, these backgrounds gained a lot of comments from those who assumed I'd used my gel press to make them.
This is how I really made them.

Ceri, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I never would have thought of using baby wipes. I love your videos.
It may be short (not really) but, oh so sweet!! I don't look at the time a lot because I value all of them, especially if they keep me intrigued. You, dear Ceri, are a very intriguing, imaginative and endearing artist. Thank you for sharing!!!
Oh thank you Anita
Oh looking forward to March…I’m missing your longer videos but whatever length they are they are so creative and I learn so much. These papers you’ve shown are beautiful, definitely going to do this 😊
Love the yellow one
I like the softness that it brings. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Love how blended and smooth these backgrounds look. Who knew! A baby wipe. haha.
I said the new logo piece was stunning the day you made it! Today, I need to tell you how cheerful it is. Good call!!
Oh thank you!
This is a goodie! I can't wait to try it! So many possibilities! I may set some time aside and try it today! Truthfully, I don't think I can wait!!! TFS. Have a lovely ❤️ February! 🙏🥰
Have fun!
I’ve been collecting all the empty thread spools from my sewing projects to use in place of the handle Ceri is using. I bought a bag of flat round sponges and glue them to the bottoms of the spools. Works great.
That's a great idea!
Oh I like this. Why do I get the urge do get all my paint out and play in the middle of the night?
lol……..that’s what I do when I can’t sleep.
Yippee!!! YOU are amazing sharing your creative gift with us. I truly appreciate your excellent instructions AND telling your insight and rationale for your processes. Thanks for being you. Don’t ever let anyone steal your sparkle. Lots of love.
Thank you so much!
So simple, yet so beautiful! These would be lovely backgrounds for greetings cards. I'm itching to try this!
Ceri you know I don't do gelpress but this way of making backgrounds is fabulous. I love your channel you have something for every level of crafting, beginners or nay all find something on your channel. Thanks again.
You are so welcome!
❤I have to say you're sure gifted like me lolo
What beautiful &out standing art work!!!!!
Love this technique, Ceri! I don't have geli printing supplies, but I do have acrylic paints, paper and a boatload of baby wipes! Thank you for the detailed walk-thru. Cheers!
Wonderful!
Hi Ceri: I'm always trying out different ways to do backgrounds as I don't own a gelli plate... thank you for this. Simple, fun and effective.
Thank you for an alternative to the jell plate. I love this technique and the results so thank you for sharing it with us.
Hello dear Ceri, I love this! I am definitely going to try this! They all Turned out beautifully. Thank you so very much for sharing! Hugs and blessings ❤
Thanks so much 😊
I do love how quick and easy this process is to attain a fantastic background. As usual, thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Such pretty backgrounds. This technique works great in art journals because no need to soak the paper. 😃
Such cloud soft results.❤
Many Thanks🎉❤
Thanks so much 😊 Julie
I really like those,short but sweet
These are great!! Quick method for backgrounds when you don't want to get out your gel plate!
So true!
Great instructions Ceri, as always! I will definitely give this a try. And as you say, it could become adictive, but there are worse deseases.. Thanks for sharing!
Have fun!
I really like this process. Your colors are always spot on.
Thank you so much!
Brilliant, and fabulous for backgrounds, as you said. Thank you for the tip about coloured baby wipes or kitchen roll - drying and reusing is a wonderful way to add texture to one's work. Looking forward to trying the techniques, and watching your future videos.
ooh, nice!!! Loving these, and happy that you got some digitals. You deserve it.
Loved learning how to do this! I don’t have a gel plate and need to make papers for collage! Thank you Ceri! Can’t wait for your digital papers! I was crossing my fingers you would do some this year! Til next time…..
This is so cool Ceri. I’m going to give it a whirl. Thanks for sharing 🌴
I love this, now you've given some really great ideas. Thank you Ceri.
So glad!
Great tips . Many thanks for uploading this one :)
Very cool backgrounds and they look very fun to make.
TFS❤
What a simple yet another fantastic idea! Thanks Ceri. Very enjoyable 😉
Thanks so much! 😊
TFS Ceri you are always so creative! 🤙❤
Ceri, love your colors, combinations are fabulous, thank you for sharing.
Ceri, your work is amazing! Thank you for sharing your wonderful art!
Thanks!! Looking forward to March!❤❤❤
You posted this just when I needed it. Thankyou.
Thank you, this is a great, simple way to create interesting backgrounds. 👍❤️
Excellent video with lots of ideas and inspiration. Even using that tile is a great idea. One of those "why didn't I think of that" moments. I put color on a cover once and I used ink instead of paint, it took forever to dry. This will be my go to method the next time. You made my day!! TFS Hugs from California * L
So simple and yet so beautiful
Ceri what another fabulous project!! Thank you for sharing!!❤
Your backgrounds are beautiful and I’m looking forward to your launch. I ❤ this technique. Thanks for sharing.
Love this! I need to try it, soon! 😂
Very, these are fabulous! Thank you so much. I don't have the gel plates, etc. so I cannot wait to try this tomorrow! Awesome artistry as always!
They are lovely papers. I'll try that very soon. Thanks for the tips, Ceri ❤
This was great! I love seeing craft paint make an appearance because I have quite a bit of it. I’ve used baby wipes to make quick backgrounds in some of my journals with water soluble crayons and am looking forward to trying your method out.
Love this! I’m just catching up on videos but noticed your new “CERI” in the opening, much bolder and looks great!
Oh thank you, new year and time to have a new look.
This is a very good technique and the colors are lovely🥰
What an amazing process and a lovely result. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤
My pleasure 😊
Nice backgrounds. First time viewer. I subscribed. Would like to see more and also art journal pages and canvas work. You have a lovely and calming voice. I'm in Alabama, USA.👍❤😁🇺🇸
Thank you Helen and welcome to my channel, all those topics are already videos on my channel and things I enjoy doing so there will be more in the future.
Great tips and lovely work Mr. Ceri
These look great! Super technique! 😃❤️😃❤️
Beautiful background pages! I love the colors!
I love this! Will for sure use. Thanks foe aharing, Ceri!
Great looking! Carol from California
The best things come in small packages and this how-to video is no exception. I so appreciate you Ceri! I always learn so much from you!
Love these backgrounds.
Lovely backgrounds! TFS
I use to watch Dyan on those tim holtz videos. Shes a very interesting person. What an easy way to make backgrounds. And ohhh. Some digitals in the near future??? I hope so. 😊
Finger crossed if my plans work out new digitals in March.
Loved this.
Thank you!
This looks easier than gel plate printing, which I still struggle with. I always love your color combinations, Ceri. ❤
Thank you so much!
Great technique - thanks!
Thanks for the ideas.
Fantabulous!!!!
Thank you Ceri. Like your new logo.
Thank you!
FABULOUS! ♥🔥
Very helpful and enjoyable 🎉
Love this Ceri ... Thanks.
Hi Ceri. This is right up my alley. I do something similar but I use a paint brush. Sometimes using different types of brushes for the look of texture. I'm definitely going to try baby wipes. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞
Sounds intriguing I’ve not done it with different brushes.
I really like this method and the results are so pretty.
Thank you! 😊
Awesome Ceri💜
Love these!!! Definitely gonna make some. THX!!
Very nice and easy ❤
Loved and learned so much with this video! ❤
Ohhhhhh I am so excited!!!!!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you so much for sharing. I've watched Dyan create with this technique, but it's always nice to see another person's interpretation. Beautiful!!!
Dyan is so talented I’d love to do a workshop with her one day.
Love this process! Thanks for sharing and I am looking forward to further teasers and the big reveal... March you say?😉
Fingers crossed Jamie
I love this process. I think I can do this.❤
Go for it!
Very cool. Thanks ❤
Glad you liked it!
“now I have paint all over my fingers” 😂😂😂 so glad it’s not just me
Love your new, colorful CERI Board...
You always amaze me!
Hello from Texas ❤
Thank you! 🤗 and hello Texas.
You are such a bad influence! I had plans, but, no, I had to try this. I’ve done this with distress inks, but paint is so much quicker! I tried on two types of paper; one a heavy copy paper, the other a presentation (Epson) paper. The presentation paper kept the vibrant colors and didn’t curl. The heavier copy paper dulled and curled.
Good to know Nancy.
💜💜💜
❤❤❤
😊
I like the total effect of this process. I may experiment, but would I be wasting expensive paper if I tried this on watercolor paper? It may be that the surface of the watercolor paper would not be smooth enough. Thank you for sharing - easy to understand directions.
I’m not sure id use watercolour paper as it’s an expensive resource to play with.
Thank you!@@CeriGriffiths
Love that this is something someone new to creating background can do as well as someone who doesn't have a gel plate.. did you say what kind of paper you used or did I miss it? Sorry if you said already ❤
Anna it’s a white presentation paper just a little heavier than copier paper, I show the packaging in the beginning of the video.
I buy the same paper from my local Tescos, it's lovely and smooth.
ICeri i know this is making backgrounds but how can I matt glossy pages from magazines and craft book pages that I cut out pse. Thanks a stack
Naomi, you could brush them with a thin layer of mat gel medium or you could use clear gesso but the gesso may have a gritty texture.
@@CeriGriffiths thank you so much. Glad I found your page. You such a help.
Another great tutorial thank you so much 👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤❤
