Gelato Watercolor Background
After dry blending my new Gelatos to create a background, I decided to try for a watercolor-look by blending them wet.
Did you notice the other new-to-me technique on this layout? Yep, machine stitching all the way around to create my very own unique background for this layout with lots of little bits & pieces added from my red and brown color bins.
Have you created your own background lately? What mediums did you use?

I do stitch round my pages, but I have never tried the gelato look - it's beautiful
ReplyDeleteSplitting the colours like this and using photos and elements diagonally is such a cool look! Well done on the stitching too ...
ReplyDeleteNever heard of gelatos, the effect is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of gelatos either. But they sure do look nice!
ReplyDeleteyay for stitching! I'll turn you into a sewer yet! Cute layout...
ReplyDeleteMy goodness you are on a creative roll and are rocking it! It must have all gotten bottled up during the spring semester and is now unleashed :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I've been seeing the Gelatos being used quite often lately! Looks fun! Beautiful layout Melissa!
ReplyDeleteSo are gelatos the new washi tape?? Love the background you created!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing Gelatos being used on YouTube recently, looks great
ReplyDeleteReally like the diagonal design and the stitched frame. Enjoying seeing you try out the new techniques too.
ReplyDeleteLove that background and your stitching!
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I picked up some gelato colors too but haven't used them yet. So little time for experimenting but maybe I need to get them on a tag at least. Soon! :)
