Hey there bloggers Rita Barakat here ! Here are some fun techniques on a card! Using these fun chipboard dress forms and Gelatos™!
First I punched out the dress form shapes and used the remnant as a stencil! I used the Lime and Green Tea Gelatos™ and a dry sponge- place your stencil on the page, add color randomly on the inside of the shape with Gelatos™ and rub the color in with a dry sponge.
I did the same technique with one of the chipboard dress form pieces. I stamped the dress form,the card and the flourish on the chipboard with a Stamper’s Big Brush Pen in black. Added some smudges on the edges of the card
with the dry sponge.
Of course I couldn't make it happen without adding a little glitter! and accessories...
Add some doodling and there you have it!

This looks fabulously fresh with the green Gelatos
