Hi and Welcome!
It's a new month and the new challenge over at
CAS Mix Up is up and running.
I always find myself itching to try their
Monthly Mix and really excited to once more
play with my neglected gelatos.
Here is my first card
PS I was so eager to play with them
I even have anther one in the making
First of all my Mix is
Gelatos (of course) Stamping, Magicals and Die Cutting.
I wanted to do something out of the ordinary with
my Gelatos so starting with a washed background
with Magicals adding shaved bits of different
Gelato colours heating to melt
allowing them to bubble up for depth.
Here is a close up.
I added the smallest bits
of Stampendous Aged Copper Embossing Enamel
heating from underneath to also melt.
Added a little more interest by adding
some lines in the background.
I then cut out my MFT peek a boo die
and popped it in front.
Added the lovely Gina Maine floral flourish
smooched with the same gelatos and the
middle piece to match the background.
To finish I added my sentiment from
Happy Little Stampers.
Hope you liked my take on the Gelatos/Crayon Challenge.
I sure had fun.
Thanks for dropping in.
Great card Ina, love the texturey background you've achieved with the gelatos and frantage, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a tonne of fun with this one Ina. Great colours!
ReplyDeleteSo much beautiful mixed media texture peeking thru your die cut window. Love the bright colors and your added die cut image on the outside or your window. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix Up, Ina. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteVery cool!! I LOVE your gelato background Ina. I had no idea about adding bits and melting it ... looks amazing over top of your magicals background. Very artsy design, which I LOVE! :) Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
ReplyDeleteLove all that texture!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background. I love all that texture with the bubbling. Great colors too, and your design is perfect for the challenge. Adding that pretty die cut is the perfect final touch too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome look, great colors and wonderful texture. I don't have any of the gelatos so I had no idea what they would even look like before and after being used.
ReplyDeleteGreat way to use the gelato's and one which I will be trying. Your mix of colours and mixed media elements have made a fabulous artsy and wonderful card which I absolutely love. Thanks for joining in at The CAS Mix Up Challenge with this amazing card Ina x
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of enamel work, Ina. I did that a long, long time ago and don't remember much except for dropping the pieces on and firing them to melt them. It makes a wonderful textural background.
ReplyDeleteHow creative Ina! Such great dimension you have managed to create. Love the little die cut with the same background - very clever!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to use Gelatos, Ina! I'd never thought of intentionally putting bits on the background and heat embossing! A true mixed media creation! Wow! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!
