Unicorns and Gelatos and Circles - Oh My!

Magic was in the air of my craft studio - mostly because I broke out the mythical creatures (namely in the form of a glorious unicorn from the Visible Image Believe in Unicorns stamp set).


Just look at that majesticness!





 To make this shimmering creation, I started with a good base of black and grunged it up a bit using the Fibonacci background stamp. This stamp has quickly become one of my faves because it is so big and covers the whole background of a design perfectly. 


Next, I created my own patterned panel using a sheet of white cardstock and the Universal stamp set, which has all these scribbly circles.


I used three colors of extra bright gelatos to add a pop of color to my creation. 


I love working with Gelatos - there are so many ways to use them. If you haven't tried them, they're a sort of gel-like crayon that is water soluble. So you can use them as crayons, or mix them with water for unique watercolor effects.

 For this technique, I applied a thick layer and let the colors overlap as I was scribbling, then I used my fingers to blend the colors together.



I put everything all together, and created a my unicorn focal circle, then added a sentiment from the Go To Words stamp set.
