When Gelli prints don't quite work out

I love monoprinting with a Gelli plate. But like everything else, if you don't practise your craft for a while, the results can be disappointing. So, what do I do? I play some more!

with stamps (over the rolled painted from the brayer, onto print paper)

with stencils, a make-up sponge and acrylic paint

and the same stencil in a matching colour over a ghost print that had too much white in it

or I cover most of the print with extra paint, and then stencil a contrasting colour

and if it really didn't work out, cover most of the print with a layer of plain colour, and use another stencil to apply paint with a different pattern
