I will have to try this technique!
So pretty with the Gelatos. I never thought of using them with layering stamps. Thanks for the tip about using gesso too.
Very cool look with the gelatos! I’ve never tried them!
So pretty! Love the gelatos!
Your cards are GORGEOUS.
Fun, have never used gelatos or gesso. (Love your giggle!) these looks like so much fun, thanks for showing us some great ideas and how to use them with stamps. Hugs!
Pretty design and amazing coloring ..
Thanks for pulling out the Gelatos. I am always looking for a way to use them better. I will try Gesso as I never thought I could successfully use a layering stamp with Gelatos but your lovely cards show that it can be done.
Thanks for sharing these lovely cards.
That is a cool effect – they rather look rain drenched to me, I always forget about my Gelatos – thanks for the inspiration to pull them out!
You are the gelato queen, Laurel!
These are pretty! 🙂 Love the backgrounds.
OMG these cards have a magical quality to them – thanks for sharing:)
Altenew’s floral stamps are out of this world – and this new BAF set is stunning! Oh dear! My wish list just got longer. Love the wayercolour wash look of your cards.
Very pretty! I love how the gelatos highlight the beautiful stamps
Lovely! Thinks for the tips and the reminder to use gelatos once in a while! 🙂
Your colors are beautiful on your card. Thank you for sharing.
Gelatos must make a comeback !
I think i need to get me some gelatos. Fun card.

Pretty cards! I haven’t used my Gelatos in a long time, thanks for the inspiration.

I love how pretty your color palette is! Your cards have a wonderful, artsy feel to them and are amazing!

Oooow Laurel, really liking these, just had two sets of gelestos as a present, now i need to try this technique.
Great cards. So pretty.
These are Beautiful!! Awesome technique!!
Really unique, pretty cards!
Gelatos?!?! Who knew? What a beautiful rendition of that super-awesome stamp!!! I love what you shared with us Laurel, as well as that infectious laugh of yours! Very pretty: I’m inspired, time to dust off those Gelatos 🙂
Great idea to use the Gelatos. They create such a lovely effect with your coloring. tfs
Just beautiful.I saw your card on the Altenew site & here it is, the last on the blog hop and my favourite. TFS
Lovely cards! Thank you for showing this technique- I’ve never used gelatos.
Unique cards. I like the metallic in the black best. Very artsy.
I love gelatos too!! They make such great cards. Love yours, enjoyed your technique!!
I love the way you use this new flower set!

This is a very pretty interesting look. I haven’t used gelatos in a long time. I like the looks of the metallics on the black and I like the blue background.
I really love seeing another way I can use my gelatos. I never thought of doing this. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your tutorial on gelatos. I have seen them at Michaels but never purchased them. It was interesting to watch you create your poppy cards using this product. I would have never imagined that you could stamp with them. Your cards are very pretty. Thanks for sharing your time and talent with us.
Wonderful creations! I’ve not used gelatos, but they look amazing!!! Thanks for the explanation and tips!!!
Must try this. Beautiful carsd.
Hi Laurel. Great tips – great ideas – great design – gorgeous cards. I’ve had Gelatos for years and have never had fun like you had with them. Had never thought of using them like you. Soooo thankful I clicked onto your site – I have much to learn. Thanks so much for sharing with us. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE poppies.
Beautiful cards!! I definitely want to try Gelatos.
Thank you SO much for sharing this technique. I haven’t pulled out my Gelatos in a long time — don’t know why. I love them but I guess it’s a case of “out of sight, out of mind.” I’ll be rectifying that soon because I can’t wait to try this. I don’t have the BAF Poppy set, but I have several Altenew layering stamps that I thing would word perfectly. Your cards, by the way, are gorgeous!
Thank you for showcasing the Gelatos. I’ve seen them in the store, but wasn’t really sure what they were all about. Your cards are beautiful!
Thank you for the video. An exciting new technique … for me at least!
Beautiful cards!
Beautiful cards. I have never used gelatos before, after watching your video, I going to buy some.
Thanks for sharing…
Beautiful cards, thanks for sharing this awesome technique!
Great cards. And thanks for the video. I would never have tried Gelatos, but you make it look so beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
I am definitely going to watch the video ,bcoz I have gelatos which have not been touched since ages !! Plus I loved both the cards very much 🙂 Thank you for sharing the video .
Gorgeous cards. Love the artsy feel of the cards.
Lovely new technique to learn! The colours look lovely
wonderful technique with lovely results! Love this new poppy release!
I love that technique you used for this card. I will have to give this a try some time. Love your card!
I’ve never used gelatos. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m eager to try!
Very pretty cards! I have some gelatos but I never think to use them! Guess I’m going to have to break them out!
Super pretty cards!! 🙂
BEAUTIFUL cards!
What beautiful watercolors! These cards are so soft and lovely!!
Amazing! What gorgeous cards and fabulous technique. So out of the box creative.
I’ve seen gelatos floating around, but I haven’t really seen much done with them other than backgrounds, so this is new and exciting! I love how these turned out; the texture makes for a really interesting look. Thanks for sharing with us. (PS, I could practically feel your relief at doing some non-Christmas florals. Congrats on getting through your holiday series!)
Well this is a unique take on that already cool stamp set! So artsy, beautiful and soft. I haven’t been using my Gelatos but now I have to take them out!
Fabulous technique. I’ve not used my Gealto’s in a while…. Great inspiration to break them out again.
Love gelatos! Great cards!
Oh I love your color palettes! These cards are beautiful and you used such a fun technique! Thanks for sharing.
These are all so pretty! Beautiful new set!
WOW
WONDERFUL cards and FABULOUS video!
Thank you for sharing and INSPIRING, it was EXCITING to watch magic happen as you built the layers with the stamps and worked the gelatos! … I keep forgetting that I have some in my stash … I NEED to play right NOW 🙂
Wow! Just beautiful. You did a fantastic job. I would like to try your technique.
