Directions:
1. Start by applying 4 Gelato colors on to your watercolor paper (pre-cut to slightly bigger than the size you want for your card), and smear them across the paper, slightly overlapping the colors. Wet a brush slightly, and go over the colors, blending and softening the colors, keeping it very painterly. Let dry, and tear the edges.
2. Stamp several shells with VersaMark on to Mixed Media Paper and heat emboss with Aged Gold. Die cut the shells using the coordinating dies.
3. Arrange the shells temporarily on your dried background to decide where your sentiment will go. Using the Ocean Wisdom set and Onyx Black VersaFine Ink, stamp the sentiment on to the background. Attach the shells with Zip Dry adhesive.
4. Cut card base out of My Colors cardstock in Seafoam to 5 1/2″ x 8″ and fold in half. Glue background to card base using Zip Dry.

This was the first time I ever used Gelatos (I know…sometimes I am a little behind on the crafting trends), but I loved playing with them! Below are the links posting along with me today. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!

This car turned out beautifully! I love the soft gelato background and the stamped images in gold and white are gorgeous!! I'll be keeping an eye on my mailbox for this one. 🙂
