Hi @boxer3086! Thanks for watching! I prefer the cardstock for the palette as I feel like I can get a lot more of the Gelato medium colored onto the paper as opposed to a nonporous surface which requires me coloring onto the palette repeatedly. Also, I can add just a drop of water and keep the color very vibrant when transferring it onto my project. Because I only add a bit of water to small sections of the palette colors, the areas that are not mixed with water remain reactive with water until water is added. Happy coloring!
Why wouldn't you scribble the Gelatos onto a non-porus surface for your pallet? Seems like there's some medium waste using paper for the pallet. Just wondering. Otherwise, terrific tutorial!
Fabulous techniques, need to know if you have to seal the first card with anything , not sure how it would dry , thanks , always love learning new stuff
Thanks for watching! I did not seal the cards with anything. If you find you would like a sealant for your cards, I recommend Krylon Matte Fixative Spray.

these are so beautiful!! I'm heading to the site now
I would love to know how you made the bow around the finished piece. thanks
oh my goodness, I am in love with this craft! I would like to purchase the stencils and gelato pens...not exactly sure what they're called. So pretty!
Hi how did you make your die-cut stencil? Must know!! Thanks. So beautiful
I think if you skipped the gesso it may have not removed the gelatos. The gelatos would therefore adhere to paper much better. Lovely cards Thankyou.
Thank you for sharing this with us as it sure is helpful for me as a newbie. I loved these techniques. What stencil did you use in the video?
So they're called double scoop gelato is because they're larger?
OMGoodness, I love the poppies. I do have a question If you pre make a palette, won't it dry permanent, or does it have to be wet then dry?

Love the "enjoy" die-- who is the maker please?
Beautiful cards. How long does the palette colors stay reactive with water? Why use cardstock instead of a wax paper for the palette?

jillianavery82 THANKS..you've inspired me-just ordered my first gelatos & can't wait to use them!
Are they light fast?
LindieLee They are! They're acid-free and permanent too:)
Thank you1
Do you need to "set" the Gelatos so they don't easily wipe off in the mail!
susan yee Gelatos are permanent when dry- just let it sit out for a while after you're done (the length of time depends on how humid it is).
thank you!
susan yee No problem!
