Stamp TV Sketch With Fun New Gelatos!!!!

Smiley from millan.netSmiley from millan.netSmiley from millan.net

Spring is here!  Along with 6 inches of new snow!!!!  ROFL!!!!  Yes, that is what Spring is like in the mountains!!  And I love it!!!  BUT....I was in quite a flowery mood when I was stamping, and yellow has been one of my favorite colors since I was little!!!  It's just so cheery and happy!!!

This week's Stamp TV Sketch Challenge is a beautiful one!  Be sure to come on over and play along!!!



  •  Stamps: Stenciled Spring
  • Ink: Faber-Castell Gelatos; Memento Tuxedo Black
  • Paper: Pure Luxury White, Bubblegum Pink, Wild Dandelion, Grass Green; Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
  • Accessories: Ribbon, Pearls

The newest Free With Three set, Stenciled Spring is so fun, and well, Springy!!!!  LOL  Now....instead of ink, I used my brand new Faber-Castell Gelatos!!!!  Now don't they sound delicious??!!!  Heehee!!  My wonderfully talented and very sweet friend and fellow DT member, Jennie, completely enabled me so that I just had to buy them!!!  LOL  The description says, "like lipstick for your paper"!  And yes, that is a perfect description!!!  This is the first time I used them and I just applied them directly to the stamps and then stamped the image onto the paper.  I hope to learn a lot of fun techniques with these!!!  I used Pure Luxury Cardstock and just a little swatch of some of my fave Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses dp!!!  Since I'm apparently challenged in attempting to figure out how to use my Stamp-a-majig, I just stamp the sentiment onto practice paper and then hope I get it right when I stamp onto the cardstock! LOL  Gotta add at least a touch of bling too you know!!!!  ;)

Now be sure to come play at Stamp TV and also stay tuned for new videos from Gina this week as she's back safe and sound from her vacation!!!

Love your card! However, I was totally expecting a recipe or dessert review of some sort. I'm leaving hungry. ;)

How darling! I have *one* gelato. I can't even remember where I got it, but they're really neat! I definitely need more, especially after seeing what you've done! Need this stamp set, too...
