Have you all tried them yet? Oh my gosh, they are so versatile and fun to craft with. The colors are over the top gorgeous and you can do just about anything with them. Spray, create backgrounds, watercolor, stamp, stencil, color pastes and texture creams, splatter. You can spread them with a baby wipe, your fingers, paint brush, sponge whatever you can imagine. Do yourself a favor and give them a play time. Your won't be disappointed. (If you need ideas or instructions, just search gelatos on You Tube. There are lot's of tutorial videos).
To do this project, I "colored" Blood Orange and Iced Coffee Gelatos on a small flower stamp . I then misted it with water and stamped it randomly all over the watercolor paper. After it dried I colored "Butter" and "Blood Orange" gelatos all over the paper and blended them with my finger which I kept moist with water. After that dried, I took a gold pen and dotted the paper for a bit of glitz. I colored a bit of Iced Coffee gelato on my craft mat and stirred in a bit of Gesso. I dipped my Splatter Brush into this mixture and "Splattered" the background paper.
Next I used the same stamping technique and stamped 3 large flowers with Blood Orange Gelato and 2 leaves with Iced Coffee Gelato. After these dried I fussy cut them out and used foam tape to mount them on the card. The stem was painted with a aqua brush free handed. I then matted it with a paper from Prima's Seashore collection and mounted it on a white card stock base.
I am afraid this was my last free play day for the week. I have things scheduled for everyday this week. I'll just have to savor these memories until next week, when just maybe I can sneak another free play session in. If you have some free time this week, go grab something, anything and as Wendy Vecchi says, GO MAKE ART!
Happy Crafting,
Linda

ReplyDeleteYour blog is so beautiful, and I like the things that you post here every time I check in here to read article's I had the pleasure of working closely with Mr Pedro for several years as business partners. During the time that Pedro and his loan company team served as the Mortgage Representative for my home also for my business financing and he helped me closing off loans which really helped me in my business today, we were consistently far above our goal, and this can only be attributable to Mr Pedro's hard work. I appreciate your hard work and also big thanks to your team for helping me with a loan to grow my business. If you are looking for a loan of any kind, contact Mr Pedro on.... pedroloanss@gmail.com
