Gelato Background.


This page isn't finished but it is as far as I completed before I became stuck as to what to add to it.  I waited a day or two thinking that something might come to me but it hasn't.  So, when inspiration hits me, I will complete it.

I started out by painting the page with Gesso.  Then I stamped the cone flower three times.  I had to extend the stem of the longest one by using a micron pen.  Then I started coloring the bottom flower to the right with H2O paints.  I felt like I lost a lot of the detail of the flower so I used my Copic markers on the other two.  I still lost detail so I went over it with a black Micron pen.  This still didn't make the flowers stand out so I switched to a white Signo pen.  I scribbled blue, turquoise and yellow Gelatos on the background and then rubbed and blended the colors with my fingers.  I took a black Gelato and scribbled around the flowers and again blended with my fingers.  I added the Dylusions leaf stamp to the flowers and then randomly stamped the background with a circle background stamp.  It definitely needs something above the flowers.  A quote or ...something, but like I said nothing has inspired me so this is it until that happens.
