Gelatos

Here is another card using Gelatos for colouring. I began by rubbing a few colours of Gelatos onto a piece of card, blending them together with my finger, I added a spritz of water and a few grains of Perfect Pearls (although some of my Gelatos are in fact pearlised) to give a lovely sheen.

I then cut the butterfly (from Concord & 9th) from this coloured card and another from the front panel of my card. I then inlaid the die cut pieces together and twinkled the centre parts with Glamour dust.

The sentiment was stamped using a couple of colours of ink to match with the colours of the Gelatos. This is easy to do when using a MISTI of course, as each imprint is in exactly the same spot.

It's another contribution for the challenge at CAS Mix Up. A few tiny gems added a butterfly trail.

This is another card for the Casology challenge with a Marine theme. The little whales is from Stampin' Up and the sentiment a die cut from Creative Dies, Craft Essentials. The waves were cut with a die from CUTplorations.

New Technique Old Stash

When I saw the challenge at CAS Mix up, bells began to ring as I seemed to think I may have had some Gelatos. I rummaged to find a set, bought a long time ago and hardly touched. After spending a little time on You Tube trying to find out what to do with them, this is the card I came up with (after several abortive efforts.).

I chose to use a colour block technique and overstamped a section of the card with some Stampin' Up stamps which I've had for probably longer than I've had the Gelatos. A Sizzix die cut leaf (also rubbed with gold Gelato) and a sentiment from Clearly Besotted completed the card. I did use a little black Gelato around the edge of the rectangle, pulling the colour in with my finger. I fixed the panel with a squirt or two of hairspray.
