Imagine the Possibilities

Hi everyone!

I’m Christina, from the Crafty Card Gallery Design Team.

This months challenge theme is: Try Something NEW



I’ve been curious to try out the Fabre – Castell Gelatos, (double scoop). They come in a variety of colours and fun to play with.
When I received them in the mail – I was so excited and couldn’t wait to use them! These Gelatos remind me of those flavoured “lip-smackers”, growing up.

I decided to create a mixed media piece using a white panel canvas and Gelatos.

I just LOVE playing around with these “yummy” crayons. You can use them with several mediums to achieve the look you want. My favourite is the Glass bead glitter gel, when it dries it’s sparkly. Notice how the saying is popped out a bit, I used tissue paper, stamp and gel medium over the canvas.

Supplies: 5×7 white canvas panel/gesso/gelatos – Red Cherry, Metallic Melon, Mango, Lemon, Blueberry, Raspberry, Champagne, Black Licorice/stencil – circles/Fabre Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel/gel medium/tools – palette knife, sponge/tissue paper/Ranger Archival ink – Black/a variety of stamps/saying – Stampers Anonymous Classics #11/Fabre Castell Pitt Pens – Sky Blue/Black-medium & fine/paint pens – White-bold & fine/paint brush
