Get Your Gelatos Out!

Hello Everyone!!! It is Saturday which means it is SWEET STOP SKETCH day! This week, I decided to pull out my Gelatos and get CRAFTY! I used my water spray bottle and misted the image and colored the image from the Natural Beauty Collection from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design with the white Gelato then stamped it on the black card stock. I cleaned the stamp and misted it with water, then colored the Gathering Love image with the Black Gelatos and stamped it on the white card stock I cut out with the Large Spellbinder Circles.

Have you seen the silicone molds Susana carries? I decided to play with those this week too! I pulled out my CLAY to play awhile. Susana has several types and colors of clay, the Martha Stewart White Clay and there are many colors of the Air Dry Clay too. You can scroll down to see the MANY fabulous accessories and tools to use with your clay!! 

 To create the butterfly embellishment, I used the Martha Stewart Silicone Mold- Garden with the Martha Stewart White Clay. Once the clay was hard, I painted it with the Inspirations Paint in Blush and Antique Silver.

For the strips on the side panel, I used the GORGEOUS C'est La Vie Melissa Frances 6x6 Paper Pad. Susana has GREAT prices and she has papers ON SALE HERE. I added some Silver Viva Pearl Pen to further embellish the project.

I hope you enjoyed my project today! When you are done looking here, please take some time to be inspired by the Sugar Babies creations: Cathy McCauley, Monika Davis, Janice Melton, Shannon White and Shelby Goolsby

Thank you for stopping by today! Have a WONDERFUL weekend!!!

SEASHELL PEEKER!

On my project today, I started with white cardstock and laid the Glimmer Screen called Seaside On the Beach over and sprayed the Dylusions Pure Sunshine Ink Spray.

I then stamped the Unity Stamp - Painted Punchinella in Teal Ink onto some Bermuda Bay cardstock. I laid the Seaside On the Beach Glimmer Screen over it and using the Faber- Castell Gelato in White, I rubbed in around with my finger in the grooves over the Glimmer Screen to frame the tree stencil. I recently found out about these Gelatos and have been playing with them all week! I love the versatility of these. You can rub them in with your finger or a sponge, or use a water color brush or even just a spray bottle! Susana has a variety of colors for your crafting needs HERE!

I then got to play with these cool Martha Stewart Silicone Molds - Garden. I created the butterfly shown above and this fern... this is my first time playing with the Viva Crystal Gel - Holograms and the silicone Molds. WIth the GREAT HOW TO VIDEO that Marti Wills did HERE, playing with these was fun and so easy! I wanted to play a bit more, so I decided to add some color with the Inspiration Paints - I lightly dabbed the Green Olive and Tanzanite over both the butterfly and plant to add a bit of color and show the cool design and details in these molds! Once I adhered the Silicone Butterfly, I used the Gold Viva Pearl Pen to create a "trail" of flutters....

I stamped the adorable Seashell Peeker in Black Staz On ink and used the following Inspiration Paints - Sunshine, Autumn Wheat lightly brushed over Blush water based Ink for the skin ton, Garnet for the lips, Raw Sienna and Carmel for the hair. For the blue, I mixed the Tanzanite, Sky Blue and Olive Green to create the shade of blue to match the card stock. I used Tutu Pink and Blush for the flowers. The shell was painted by dabbing Raw Sienna, Blush and the remaining blue mixture. The sand was painted with Autumn Wheat and Raw Sienna. Once I had this cutie all painted up, I fussy cut her out with my paper snips.


To create a little texture in the sand, I added a small amount of  Gold Viva Pearl Pen. To finish off the card, I added a small border with Lacey trim.

Susana has added LOTS of new product to her store. You can see the NEW line called  The Eyes of Beauty and Dreams- HERE!!!
