Water Color HeARTs and More!

Happy Saturday everyone! As many of you know, I'm obsessed with Gelatos lately! They work well on many materials, however since they are water-based they work best on Water Color Paper! So today, just in time for Valentine's day and my Gelatos obsession, we have Water Color Paper and Masonite Heart Sets, New Cameos, not surprisingly a new Gelatos Set (smaller than the gift set), and more!

CHECK IT OUT HERE

These sweet hearts were born not only for my desire to try all of the colors in my Gelatos Gift Set (as you can see I didn't stick with common Valentine's Day colors), but also as gifts for the Sweetheart Fairy Swappers! I generally make handmade gifts for the participants, however these will all be one of a kind! Time consuming, but I'm excited. Maybe a few per day? A little bit of daily art time is good for the soul! Wish me luck! These backgrounds are nothing but Gelatos and a water brush at this point. The supply list is for the next photo :). 

Supplies: Medium Water Color and Masonite Classic and Folk Hearts, Gelatos Gift Set, Washi Tape, Metallic Eyelets, White Valentine Word Paper Cuts, Mod Podge, Sharpie Paint Marker White and Black, Vintage Sheet Music Collage Sheet, Flower Background Collage Sheet, Retro Grunge Pattern Collage Sheet

I also played with the new Large Masonite Heart Ornament. Very simple, but very fun. Sometimes there's nothing like good ol' paper and glue collage!

Supplies: Large Classic Heart Ornament, Gelatos Gift Set, Washi Tape, Metallic Eyelets, Colored Valentine Word Paper Cuts, Mod Podge, Sharpie Paint Marker White  and Black, Vintage Sheet Music Collage Sheet, Flower Background Collage Sheet, Valentine Circle Labels Collage Sheet DP259

On New Years day, I had the pleasure of getting together with several of my good friends for a day of food, fun, and ART! Yes, we had tiaras too! I worked on my heart backgrounds which was great since they required very little concentration. I was free to gab. Doesn't get much better than that!

(The lovely lady in the Tiara is my talented friend Joanie. I'm of course behind my Gelatos.) 

A messy art desk in numbers is way more fun!

You still have lots of time to join in the Sweet Heart Fairy Shrine Swap! Fairies are due February 24th!
