The sentiments in this collection are the perfect companion to the floral images.
Using Gelatos with these stamps will create an added watercolor art look.
1. Mist rubber stamp with water.
2. Starting with the darkest color first, apply Gelato directly to the rubber stamp.
3. Stamp onto card a panel and allow the panel to dry. Mist the same stamp with water without adding more color and stamp once again. You can get many panels from just one coloring!
These stamps work well with many techniques. Below, Karen first stamped with India Black Ink and then filled in with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush.
The card below has an Autumn look after Karen stamped the image with Earth Ink, then masked the outside of the rectangle before applying ink with a sponge applicator.

Love this set! I would buy it if I didn't already have it. What a nice way to ring in Spring!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. What kind of paper do you recommend with this technique? Watercolor, matte or glossy cardstock?
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, any matte finish paper will work well . . . definitely avoid coated or glossy papers when using Gelatos.
DeleteThanks Karen.
