Lawnscaping Challenge #106 - Try a new technqiue

Hello there!  It's Monday, and time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!  It's a fun one this week... Try a new technique!

Challenge #106 is sponsored by the super fabulous Lawn Fawn!!

For my card today, I wanted to use Gelatos!  Well, they are generic Gelatos.  Target brand has their own version of gel crayons.  I found them in the stationary department for less than $4, and although I have never used the real deal, I imagine the Target version are very similar to Gelatos.  So my friend Melissa Phillips made this tag using Gelatos to add subtle color around stamped images, and I couldn't wait to try it!

I pulled out my Small Stitched Rectangles dies and my Stuck on You stamp set and went to town! I stamped the images on a Stitched Rectangle diecut, shaded the images a bit with Copic markers, and then rubbed the gel crayons onto a paper towel, and rubbed the paper towel over the images that I wanted to add a color halo to.  I used gel crayon colors that were similar to the ink colors I used.  For example, I used red to stamp the heart images, and used a red gel crayon around it.  Such a fun and easy technique and it adds so much to the little scene!

I hope you like it!  Be sure to check out the blog for lots more inspiration from the design team, and for all of the challenge details.  I hope you'll play along!!

Have a great day!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!
