« Thanks card using Art GRIP® Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils | Main | Best Wishes »

Good morning, Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft fans! Stacey here with a fun watercolored background using Gelatos!

The Faber-Castell Gelatos are so easy to use and create a fabulous artistic effect to cards and other paper-crafting projects! I colored a few coordinating gelatos on my craft mat, spritzed with water, rubbed my finger through the color a bit to blend, and placed the watercolor paper over the color for a few seconds to allow the color to be absorbed somewhat. Creating beautiful backgrounds is easy with Faber-Castell Gelatos!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Blog today!
