For today's project, I chose to use Faber-Castell's Gelatos again ... I love their beautiful watercolor quality and wonderful color range!
Here's my 8" x 8" altered frame, using JustRite's Grand Damask cling rubber background and clear Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels 2 stamp sets:
(Click on any photo for a larger view)
Directions:
1. Cut a piece of heavy weight cream cardstock the size of the wood frame (8" x 8").
2. Spritz the rubber background stamp with water; this helps the Gelatos glide on smoothly.
3. Then color directly on the cling-mounted red rubber stamp with the Gelatos:
I used these Gelato colors:
Green Tea & Spearmint
Cotton Candy & Blueberry
4. Spritz the stamp/Gelatos again with water.
5. Stamp onto ivory heavy weight cream cardstock. Repeat steps 2-4 until cardstock is covered with pattern.
6. Cut square center out of stamped cardstock; layer onto a blue cardstock mat.
7. Glue cardstock to wood frame.
8. Paint wood frame sides with teal acrylic paint.
9. Stamp the center framed sentiment onto ivory cardstock in the same manner as above, using JustRite's Grateful Hearts Vintage Labels 2 stamp set and Blueberry & Black Gelatos. The Gelatos work just as well on clear acrylic stamps:
Die cut the frame using JustRite's coordinating Vintage Labels 2 dies.
10. Using Green/Mint Metallic Gelato, paint/fill in the center of the stamped frame -- just scribble onto the cardstock and then use a wet paint brush to spread around the color:
I used T6 Copic marker to color the edge of the die cut.
11. Stamp sentiment onto ivory cardstock using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and die cut. Pop up on foam tape over stamped frame.
12. Add blue seam binding bow to frame, stuck with green leaf stick pins. Add flower gems between the stamped flourish patterns.
