CAS Mix-Up - May

I'd hate to say how long ago I purchased my Gelatos and then never used them.  I'm glad I had them though because they're the focus of the challenge at CAS Mix-Up. 

Using the wildflowers from Altenew, I colored directly on the stamp, gave it a spritz and pressed it down.  I love the soft look it gives. My choice was to use the die cut panel. The card base is really more the color of the flowers but no amount of photo editing would make it appear that way.

Thanks for dropping by.

Merry Monday #260

Merry Monday has a sketch for this week challenge.

I just happened to have a panel that would work beautifully for the top layer of the sketch.

Last week Karen (Snippets) did a wonderful poinsettia card using Gelatos. You can see her card here.  I immediately had to try her technique using the few Gelatos that I got in a close-out kit a while back.  I placed the stamp from PB in my MISTI, rubbed the Gelatos onto the stamp, spritzed it with water before stamping, repeating the process until I was satisfied and then clear embossed it. I mixed some Inca Gold with water for the splatters.  The bottom panel and the sentiment are from glitter paper.  You can see all the shimmer better below.

Thanks for dropping by.  It makes me happy when you do.
