Welcome - so glad to have you visit my corner of blogland.
I bought a set of gelatos recently and this is the result of my first 'play' with them.

The first stage was to colour and blend the gelatos on the tag.

I then stamped the Victorian lady in black, and lightly sponged the tag edges with Tea Dye distress ink.

Gold ink was lightly sponged over the frock of the image, and around the edges of the tag, and clear Kindy Glitz was added to the edge of the parasol.

The embossed layer of the card was also letter-pressed with a gold gelato used to colour the 'shattered' embossing folder.

The card was finished by mounting it on a crimson base and adding ribbon and clear gem 3 dimensional Kindy Glitz. Over all the card has a lot of subtle sparkle to accent the gorgeous lady.

There's some nice vibrant colours here. I didn't know what gelatos were so I had to look them up. Kate x

Very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely 1st effort with your gelatos. This was so bright & colorful, and your umbrella lady was just the perfect image to go with your rainbow colors. I liked the way you added some gold gelato to your EF as well. Thanks for playing along with us at Jo's Scrap Shack this week. Hugs
ReplyDeleteMaxine,
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing. I had to look on YouTube to find out what it was. All your artistic touch's has me thinking I may have aced CAS but I'm still in kindergarten, The gold on the dress and edge of the tag is so classy. The whole card is A1.
This is so beautifully done, thank you for posting with us. We hope to see you again next week with more WOW!
Blessings,
