This week for FWF, I played with my Faber Castell Gelatos and created this rainbow background!
If you have not tried Gelatos, you have to! It's acid-free pigment sticks that glides on smoothly. Crayon-like but if you add water, it's like paint! What I did was just to draw it on - add water - and use my fingers to blend it in.
The butterfly and the sentiment are from the October 2011 KOTM by Unity Stamp. I added some dimensional pearls and twine to it.
This card is also inspired by the Pinspired Challenge #2
Have a happy weekend ahead!
Supplies used: Stamps (Unity stamp) / Gelatos (Faber Castell) / Twine (Divine Twine) / Dimensional Pearls (Ranger)
