Simon Says..........Make a Background with Gelatos!

This month I have the honor of being the Simon Says Stamp Designer in the Spotlight and I am playing along with the very talented Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge DT.

This week, Simon Says.........

Make a Background with Gelatos!

Now, I will admit that I had never tried Gelatos before this challenge, but now that I have, this certainly won't be the last time!

I started with a 4" x 5.25" piece of white CS and then brushed some Faber-Castell white Gesso onto it.  I then rubbed some Faber-Castell blue gelatos onto the CS.  I spritz with water and blended.  Adding the gesso to the CS gives it some added texture when you add your gelatos.   I then placed the new Simon Says Stamp Swirls and Dots Stencil over it and used a baby wipe to remove some of the Gelatos to create my background.  Cool, right?!   So easy, too!   

I die cut my tag using the MFT Die-namics Traditional Tag STAX and stamped the flowers from the MFT Forget Me Not stamp set in MFT grape jelly and sour apple premium dye ink.   I stamped the sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Summer Garden stamp set in MFT black licorice hybrid ink.   I added some Pretty Pink Posh silver sequins and some Queen & Company purple twine to embellish.
