Tutorial : Gelatos

By Jcchris
Hello there! I'm so honored to be able to guest for Lindsey's blog today! 
Today I would like to share with you a very simple tutorial on how to create "watercolor" effect by using gelatos. And of course, you can try this same technique with watercolors too. This technique creates a very subtle look to your project. Adds interest without "screaming" for attention. 
Supplies:1 piece of craft sheet1 bottle of water spray1 die cut piece Faber Castell Gelatos colors
