Color Gelatos!!

Hi everyone!  I did have some time last night to play with the Design Memory Crafts Color Gelatos and Clear Stamp Set and it was super fun!!  I love these!

I took all 4 colors from the set and rubbed them in a rainbow-like pattern.  Then I used the brush it comes with and blended the colors.  I don't think you can see it very well, but they have a beautiful sparkle to them!  Then I played around with the stamp that came with them to try to use the Gelatos to stamp with.  I rubbed the darker pink right on the stamp and tried, but that didn't work very well.  Then I added some water to it and still no go.  While it was still wet I added more color but it was not working either.  So I cleaned the stamp and tried again by just added the color and it stamped pretty good!  I think it was just a little damp, but I'm not sure.  It's just something to play around with to see what works for you :)  Here's a close up of the stamp.  I also used the Gelato on the edge around the stamp paper.

Don't forget to leave a comment on THIS POST for your chance to win a set of your own!!  The chances look very good right now since 2 winners will be drawn :)  And visit http://www.designmemorycraft.com/  to see some projects by their design team and where you buy them for yourself! 

This is such a fun set and I think I need all the other colors too :)

  1. I love that you can make your own paper. I tried that with watercolors, It worked ok, but the paper warped. This looks like it is easy to blend

  2. I do have to say that the paper did start to curl up, but I put some heavy coasters on it while it dried :) Then I used my ATG and put a lot of tape, especially on the edges to stick it down. But it was super easy to blend and I might have used too much water :)
