GIU (Growing in Unity) Gal week
stamps used: Unity stamp co.
Welcome to my blog where I'm the GIU gal of the week. This week we will be exploring old and/or improved backgrounds using Unity stamps. At the end of the week I will be drawing two names for a $20 gift certificate each from Unity so please comment (with an email to be contacted) to be included in the drawing. I hope you will enjoy my cards I will be showing you, and maybe a technique you see here will encourage you to create something.
Now on with the show!
The first background I will be showing you this week is using Faber Castell gelatos. I have had these creamy crayon sticks in my stash for ages so thought it was time to bring them back to life.
basic instructions:
***If you continue to the end of this post there will be a video***
1. stamp image on dark cardstock with any embossing ink and heat emboss.
2. rub generously with gelato all over embossed image then buff with paper towel. (see video for more details)
3. spray with Fixative in well ventilated area or outside. allow to dry then create your card.

Thank you for stopping by. come back tomorrow for more Unity ideas and don't forget to comment (with an email to be contacted) to be in the drawing.

Great backgrounds and I love that stamp you used for the technique.
I loved your cards, I have gelato's but have not used them yet. Thank you for the video.
Beautiful! Great idea!
Beautiful cards! I don't have any gelato's but they look easy to use and I like the shimmer. mkndigger@gmail.com
Lovely cards! Its been a while since I've used my gelatos. I'm going to get them out and do this... thanks for the inspiration! I'm looking forward to your GIU week.
Very pretty! Can’t wait to see more this week!!
Loved the use of gelatos! I have not used mine in years so will be digging them out! Thanks for your share!
I guess I am going to need to break out my gelatos. You have inspired me with this beautiful card. Can't wait to see all of your projects this week.

Absolutely gorgeous cards! Now I am going to have to get me some supplies to try too!
Thank you all that have commented so far. I appreciate it!
Nice technique. I did not know about Gelato's.
Thanks for sharing. I have some gelatos which I have not used yet so thanks for giving me the ideas. jellychick@yahoo.com
How fun! I don't own any gelatos, but I sure have a ton of background stamps, and would love to check out gelatos now! I loved them all, especially the dark blue one! How rich and elegant! ~Trudi Adams-Shaffer
