Hello Friends! alexandra here with a tutorial on how to make Ombré Cards with Gelatos. Here are some examples I've made...
TUTO:
To make them, you'll need some watercolor paper, masking tape, a few Gelatos, a paint brush and some water.
I applied a small amount of gesso directly onto the stamp.
Thank You! Merci!

Thank you for the clear instructions, Alexandra! I would frame these cards if they were at my house--so gorgeous! Now I also have to try stamping with Gesso--what a great effect you achieved!

I love the gradation of colour behind the gold & with the final one the effect of the gesso stamping to accent the arrow.
