Connie-Blending Technique

Here is a technique for you called "Gelato Blending"

Supplies:

Gelatos by Faber Castell

Plate 17 "Angel Kisses" stamps by 

Sweet Pea Stamps

versamark pad

black embossing powder

heat tool

white card stock

sponges or brushes

paper towels

Directions:

1)  Stamp your image on white stock with Versamark ink.

2)  Cover with black embossing powder and heat till melted.

3)  Scribble Gelato onto plastic piece and rub sponge or brush in

to cover and apply to image.  

4)  Scribble another Gelato color and blend into first color.  These blend

very well very easily.

**I found that rubbing my finger on the top of the Gelato itself and then on my image worked

the best for me.  Color was easily removed with a wet wipe.  Applying Gelato directly resulted

in lines of color where I didn't want them and was hard to blend in-this was my experience.**

You could do this with black card stock and white ep or white stock and clear ep….the

possibilities are endless!  I only have gold, silver, black and white for colors so my test was limited.

I blended silver in the center of my verse with gold on the outer parts and a little black along the edges

for contrast.

My sample uses stamps by Sweet Pea Stamps dp by 7gypsies "nottinghill", corner die by memory box

"Macarena Corner", label dies by Spellbinders "Ornate Artisan".  The flowers are by Wilton with Copic color

airbrushed on the edges.

I hope you have enjoyed this little lesson.
