Hi, Friends.....
I am here with a tag I made for the Mark's Finest Papers January Blog Hop Tutorial Challenge. There were two tutorials to choose from: Finger Painting Book Mark and Water Background. I hope to squeak in with another project for the other tutorial, but my first one follows the Finger Painting instructions using Gelatos. I don't really do bookmarks, though, so I made a tag instead.
I was glad to have an excuse to use my poor neglected Gelatos. I loved playing with them! First I scribbled them in place, and then moistened my fingertip with water and blended them. I masked off the sky/sea boundary with washi. My image and sentiment are from Mark's Finest Papers - Silly Shells stamp set. I colored my boat and mast with watercolor pencils so the Gelato background wouldn't show....as much. :)
This is the first time I have tried doing a reflection in the ocean with Gelatos. I am not dissatisfied with my first attempt, but I do see things I could do differently. All in all, though, I like the tag.
I'd like to make special mention of the pretty crinkle ribbon. It's from Diana Larson and is the Pink Hue Tail from The Mermaids Tail - First Edition collection. Yummy. (Thanks, Diana!!!) Little Peach was fascinated that this ribbon was the color of a mermaid's tail!! :)
Okay....I am making this super-short so I can get it posted and linked up. Thank you for stopping by!! See you soon.

Wow is this beautiful! No idea what Gelatos are, besides a dessert that I love to eat, but the reflection and boat image look amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove your gorgeous tag! Arent' gelatos fun? I love mine! The colors on your tag are so pretty and I love the ribbon you used with it! Thanks for playing along with us at DL.ART February Linky Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this beautiful tag I may actually break down and BUY some Gelatos! I think your first attempt at the ocean reflection is absolutely perfect and I can't imagine what you would do differently. The water-colored boat, the coral ribbon, and simple sentiment all combine for a scene that almost makes me smell the sand and ocean. High five to you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag, love the colours you've used.
