Club Scrap Graffiti Blog Hop: Fun with Gelatos

Here we are with our monthly Club Scrap Blog Hop.

Hope you have arrived here from

Tricia's Blog. If you want to see all the 

participants you can look on the

Club Scrap Create Blog.

This month the kit is called:

Graffiti

So I took my camera and went out to look for some

graffiti in my town and made this page:

Now you may wonder how I did this background,

for this is not paper from the kit. Get out your gelatos!

Start with painting your paper with gesso

and let it dry.

Color with  3 different shades of blue

on the border of your paper. Use your finger

(or a sponge) to rub the color really well on the paper.

Spray with water and let the color run down.

When dry you can stamp on it.

As Valentine is around the corner, I also used this

technique to make a Valentine card.

Now that you have your gelatos out, I also

have another technique for you.

For this you need:

The cards you painted with gesso, stencil and baby wipes.

As graffiti is mostly done on a wall, I used a wall stencil

(this one is not Club Scrap and I forgot by which firm, but

there are many around. Mine is 6"x6").

I chosse a few "wall" colors and added them

on the card.

With my finger I rubbed the gelatos on the card.

Now the card is covered with the wall stencil

and take a baby wipe to rub away some of the gelatos.

When you take the stencilof the card it looks like

a brick wall and this is the background of your card.

Take the stencil from the kit and rub 

the color of your choice on the word of your choice.

As Iam into Valentine cards, I chose to 

write love on the wall.

Here is the finished card

and below are some more samples:

For this one I just used red and orange gelatos

and besides the Graffiti stencil, also

the Fizz stencil for the hearts and the sentiment.

Gelatos are so much fun to use and hopefully

you give it a try too.
