Love this technique Melissa! Your tag is gorgeous and I can’t wait give this a try! Thanks for sharing!
Great video, beautiful tags! I have Gelatos, but never liked how I used them….I bet your technique will make me love them! Thanks so much!
OMG OMG OMG!! LOVING your SWEET Tag and the FUN Technique!! Such a BEAUTIFUL EFFECT using the textured Linen Cardstock!! EXCITED to try this! =) THANKS for sharing and have a Fabulous Week!! =)
‘Glow’ is the perfect word for this technique, Melissa! Your sweet tag got me so excited to try this! Lovely way to start the week! Thank You!
Oh good, now I may learn how to use the four gelatos I own. Great job, Melissa! Looks like next MIM video won’t be until May 18 (not May 11 as that is next Monday). It will be worth the wait I’m sure!
Melissa, you always amaze me with such beautiful projects. You really inspire me to add the extra bit that I would have never thought to add to a card or tag.
and your “junk bows” as you call them are fab
What a dreamy, glowing tag you’ve created!
The tag definitely came to life using the Gelatos. I can’t wait to try this technique. BTW: I’m amazed at how you can stamp upside down!
Would have loved a list of your supplies – what stamp set and tag die did you use?
Love this idea, Melissa! So pretty!
Melissa, the tag you created was so pretty! I just could watch you create all day – you rock! Thanks for showing me one technique you can use with gelatos.
So gorgeous..in love with your tags!
Wow! I love it!! I’ve never seen Gelatos used that way but what an impact! Thanks so much – your video was terrific!
This is so beautiful!
Hi, Cindy. Melissa named everything as she used it in the video. The stamp set for the flowers and sentiment is Petite Pots, the two background stamps are text style and super gingham, and the tag is Monthly Moments: Journal Card 6.
This is a really pretty effect that I can’t wait to try. I’m another one who has gelatos and doesn’t quite know what to do with them. Thanks for the video and the inspiration!
Oh, Melissa, thank you! I’ve been very interested in trying Gelatos, but none of the techniques I’ve seen have inspired me. Until I watched this! Now all I have to do is decide which colors I ‘need.’ Terrific video!
This is so delicate and pretty!
Lovely technique Melissa, and such a pretty tag 🙂
Thank you!
Thank you Melissa! Love the technique! TFS
Oh Melissa, this is such a gorgeous tag and what a fun technique to try! I love the dreamy look the gelatos give to the stamped images. Thanks so much for sharing your creative genius with us!
Love this technique and the tag is beautiful.
I don’t have any gelatos..is there another medium I can use to participate in this challenge?
It still amazes me to see the beautiful effects that can be achieved with the smallest addition of an unlikely medium. Melissa hit the ball out of the park with this one. I love the little flowers on the tag and the auras created around them with gelatos. Wonderful technique and video!
Shelly, what about trying this technique with colored chalks?
Try the technique on a practice flower first to see how it works.
this tag is just so adorable – it puts a smile on my face 🙂
This is soooooo beautiful and love the technique you used! Amazing job done!
Really enjoyed this technique. Don’t have lots of Gelatos, but used some SU pastels and some chalks for my blues and greens. Thanks for the technique!
I need to watch the video on my lunch hour. I have no clue what Gelatos is? Thanks Christine
