Hey there creatives, Rita Barakat here ! I am so excited to share this technique with you today!! I love this because this is SO easy and fun and anyone can do this! 
I love color and this picture of color makes me happy! Grab a bunch of Gelatos®Colors and color!!! Doesn't have to be perfect!
Grab some water and mist away!!! 
Get a paint brush and a paper towel - blend the colors, only one color at a time, wiping the paintbrush off in between colors so they don't get muddy. they will run into each other - that's OK! 
Dry your paper and grab an Art GRIP® Aquarelle - the color is not important, we just need to be able to see and want it to fade into the background when we add the chalk board paint. I drew my letters but you can use stencils if you wish! Fill in the areas with the chalk board paint!!!Grab your Stampers Big White Pen for accents! I used gel medium to adhere it to a piece of chipboard for stability and hanging! See how easy that was? This would be a great activity for the kids too now that school is out!
