Water Colored Tag With Gelatos

Good morning and thank you for stopping by today. 
Today I am showcasing products from 7 Kids College Fund

I have been searching for other ideas using Gelatos and one I have found is water coloring with them.  In the process I also found a very talented blogger who uses them alot and she inspired me to do this tag, her name is Meihsia.
Please go visit her blog and be inspired.  Her directions are the most clear I have seen.

So here is the tag I made

I cut it out with my Tim Holtz Alterations tag die and used water color paper.
What you do is uncap the Gelato color you want and smear it on plastic, wet it with water and then use a water color brush to paint the color onto the paper.  You can see the pink, blue/green and yellow.


I embossed Tim Holtz stamp images in black and then went over them with more wet gelatos. On the sides of the tag I stamped a Prima image and then Frantaged it.


Here is the metal charm that I also Frantaged and a closer look at the tag.


This was very simple to do and quick.  If you need more detailed instruction please go see Meihsia's blog as she has alot of other great ideas using gelatos.  Everything I used today can be found at 7 Kids College Fund Store and I will link you to each product below.

Thank you for visiting with me today, I hope I have inspired you into making something with gelatos.
Have a great day,
Kelly

  2. Well wow! Two of my favorite crafty people have found each other and I love the outcome! Your tag is outstanding Kelly. What you've done with the Gelatos is perfection and the fact that you drew inspiration from Meihsia, awesome! The vibrant pink is an incredible attraction and that image couldn't be more fitting. :)

  11. Your tag is fabulous! Love the shades of color and your special details. I went over to check out the gelato tutorial and it's very interesting. I have only a few colors and never used them yet. Now that will have to change. Keep up the beautiful work dear friend!
