Hi! It's Julie here today and I'd like to share how you can use Faber Castell Gelatos (which are AMAZING by the way) to stamp watercolor backgrounds on cardstock for a pretty little card.
Gelatos are pigment sticks which bare a close resemblance to chapsticks but don't use these on your lips! :) They are a nice, creamy color stick that is great for coloring (dry) or really neat to play with wet.
The picture below shows the grape gelato just scribbled on a piece of white paper. These are super fun to use on a surface primed with Gesso as they blend and spread color very well.
The colors below were used on our project today.
I used a Cling stamp from Unity Stamp Co. and liberally colored my gelatos directly onto the stamp. I then used a mini mister of water to spritz water on the stamp a few times. Then I stamped directly onto a white piece of cardstock. This was the resulted watercolor background:
Have a wonderful crafty day!
