Gelatos Watercolor Scribbles

As promised, here is the technique I used to create this card....

something I'm calling

 

Gelatos Watercolor Scribbles

For this technique you'll need the following...

Gelatos
Acrylic Stamping Block
Water
Cardstock
Heat Tool (optional)
Stamps
Ink

Instructions:

1. The first thing you're going to do is to scribble one or more colors of Gelatos onto the stamping block.  For this example I'm making a rainbow of lines.

2. Next spritz a bit of water onto the scribbled Gelatos.

3. After you spritz the Gelatos, if desired, gently tap the colors being careful not to mix them.  This just helps the Gelatos dissolve evenly in the water.  Again, it's totally optional ~ it will work either way and create two different looks.

4.  Now stamp the block onto your cardstock.  If there is enough water on your block you can slide it around a bit for a more blended look.  That is what I did on the initial card I shared.

And here is what it looks like ...  ready to be put to use on a card, in a scrapbook or other project!

If you've never worked with Gelatos you might not know that some of the Gelatos have a beautiful metallic shimmer to them.  These particular colors are beautiful when paired with this technique and black cardstock. 

Here are Gold, a Purple & Blue ready to stamp....

Stamp & slide...

And here is the black cardstock and a couple other examples....

Tomorrow I'll share a few cards created using this technique!

Hope to see you then!
