Gelato background and TMS

Good Morning, again!

I wanted to try making another background with my Gelato's and no embossing this time.  I also thought that there may be people like me, who either haven't yet tried Gelato's or are just starting to play around with them, so I'm posting today on how I made my background.  I'm also playing along with Tuesday Morning Sketches again today.  Did I mention that I loved this sketch?!  lol

The sketch, again...

I started out with a 4.75 X 6.75 piece of watercolor paper.  (Plain cardstart doesn't work as well, unless you use Gesso on it first.)  I used 4 different colors and scattered them all over the paper.

I took a baby wipes and blended in everything.  I used short fast strokes, instead of just wiping over the whole thing.  I personally like the results that way, but that's just my opinion.

Last week I made several corner's and butterflies.  I colored them with Gelato's and used Ultra Thick Embossing Powder, 3 or 4 coats.  Since I'm not a fan of working with dry glitter, I added Stickles once they cooled down.

I forgot to take a picture of the Spellbinders lables twenty die cut, that I heat embossed and colored with the Gelato's last week.  (I made up a lot of different things last week, just learning new ways to use the Gelato's.)  I used one of the butterflies from above and pop dots to attach it.

I used liquid pearls to make the butterfly trail.  I also used cotton candy Gelato's to go over my embossing piece and added liquid pearls to that also.  I used the corner piece from the photo above.

All put together, finally ....
