VAMP STAMP NEWS PUBLICATIONS

Hi there,

Just got a note from Nancie Waterman letting me know that I'm in the latest edition of the on-line Vamp Stamp News Magazine.

This month we were challenged to use Gelatos or gel sticks.  Have to confess I enjoyed playing around with these little guys for much longer than I should have!!

Here is the first one I came up with using the Gelatos to color in an image:




For the second one, I used the Gelatos as a wash for the background:


.. and for the third I tried a little experimenting!  


So much sparkle on this third card.  I had just received the new marbled embossing powders from Sparkle N Sprinkle, so wanted to try them too! I learnt that if I colored on glossy cardstock with Gelatos, it would just rub off when touched, but I loved the vibrant colors it produced, so after coloring, I covered the entire colored card with Versamark and added a little "Sparkle", so that all the color would stay put!  A pretty Gelato Butterfly and we were done!

Click here if you need the instructions to any of the three cards:

That's all the Gelato for now!

  3. Shona, I do want to try those now. Funny, one day I was helping a friend at the Marco's Booth by demonstrating Gelatos. They are so creamy, but I've never purchased any! Now I want to. Where did you purchase yours? I need to find the least expensive place LOL Your cards are gorgeous! Love that sparkle EP on top of them! I "need" that grass die, too. Congratulations on these 3 gorgeous cards being published in VSN! Wonderful and well-deserved.
