This was my first time using Gelatos. I'm having fun with rainbows this month with the CAS Watercolour challenge, so decided to carry that theme to my CAS Mix Up reminder card. :)
I placed a circle stencil over my mixed media card panel and lightly scribbled over top with four colours of gelatos. Scribbling the colour on lightly was key for me as I found when I used a lot of pigment, it got caught on the edges of the circles around the stencil and I wanted a softer look. I picked up the colour with my finger and blended a bit, then used a small sponged dauber that was spritzed with just a little water to finish the blending.
I stamped the scripty font in black and added a black frame to tie it all together. I love the font on this sentiment. It's from a set of sentiment stamps I bought from AliExpress.
Very simple CAS card using gelatos, stencil, sponging and stamping.
