Curtain Call: Smitten Reminder

I just wanted to remind you that there are just a few days left on the challenge at Curtain Call: Smitten!


The sponsor, Linnie Blooms, is offering a gift certificate to the winner of the challenge and also kindly provided the Curtain Call design team with sets of Faber-Castell Gelatos.  I showed you a card with Gelatos on my original Curtain Call post.  Today I wanted to move away from the mitten/smitten theme and use the inspiration of the bold colors and just do a wash of color with Gelatos.  I followed this tutorial to get this look, although she clearly had more Gelatos than I do because she created a beautiful ombre tone-on-tone wash.  

Chase Your Dreams

The challenge closes on January 10th - I hope you play along!  Remember...using Gelatos is not a requirement of the challenge - just be inspired in any way by the mittens or colors or knit or "Smitten"!
  • Stamps: My Favorite Things Vertical Greetings
  • Paper: white and a smooth watercolor paper
  • Ink: Memento Black
  • Accessories: Faber-Castell Tropical Gelatos, Hemptique 10-lb. black twine, misc enamel dots
