Time For A Play

I bought some new stash yesterday and wanted to try it out.  I have made more of an abstract card (for me) this time.  I bought some Gelatos Colors from Faber Castell yesterday and wanted to have a play with them.  I have never used anything like this before but they were in my two favourite colours so couldn't resist!  I can see I need a lot more practice but it was fun playing with them.  I also bought some new washi tape so decided to add that too!

I am entering the following challenges:
Sparkle and Glitter - Anything Goes

Love To Create - Button It Up

I have used some background paper from Teresa Collins.  The image is from Rick St Dennis and coloured with my copic markers.  I have used the Gelatos to create a background around the image on the Spellbinder die-cut.  I added a couple of different washi tapes across the card - couldn't resist adding the one with the word "Denis" on it!

    Kudos to you for trying a new technique and using a new product! I've never tried Gelatos, but I hear many love using them. Lovely card. I especially like the addition of the washi tape as it adds just enough interest without taking over the whole card. Great job!

    Thanks for playing along with Sparkle and Glitter's January Anything Goes Challenge!

    A very pretty project. I haven't tried Gelatos before but will be looking for them now. Love how you've coloured Baby Baccus.
