More with Gelatos

Here are several more cards made while playing with Gelatos backgrounds like the one I used on the "bamboo" card here (blending with baby wipes technique).  

This first card is the other half of the gelatos piece I colored for my bamboo card.  This time I used a fall leaf embossing folder & hit it with green ink (lightly with a circular motion to bring out the embossing).  The cat was one of my Stampendous Kitties, that I made some time ago & had in my stash.  I added her head with a bobble spring.  I decided to run a piece of ribbon across at an angle and put my die-cut sentiment above that.  I felt it needed a little more, so made the tag & added it like it was hanging from the ribbon.

Next is a piece that I did using orange/brown gelatos.  It really didn't look all that great when I was done with it, but by the time I embossed it & added the green ink on top, it looked pretty good!  The tag and die cut were from my stash.  I know the tag was from HOTP - not sure about the die cut.  I found a piece of peach colored paper that blended well & matted it on green for a border.  The background paper is a fern paper from HOTP.  The jewel dazzles were silver but I colored them with a light green Sharpie to get them the right color for the card.

The final card in this set is the other half of that orange/brown gelato background.  I used the same embossing folder, but this time I hit it with tan and brown inks.  The background plaid is old HOTP paper.  The die cut was one from my stash that I hit with some ink to get it a color that blended better.  The ribbon border gives it something to sit on.  The sentiment is a piece of printed vellum from my stash - backed with paper & framed with a Dazzles sticker (HOTP).
