Here's my Pinterest-inspiring photo for this month (it is linked to the source):
One of these days, I'm going to make one of these crayon-melted canvases, but for now, the picture inspired me to pull out my gelatos and make a couple cards! I loved the rainbow order of the crayons, so I kept that pattern and colored my gelatos on an acrylic block, misted it, then used a flower stamp to pick up some color and stamped onto a gesso covered piece of watercolor paper.
Here are my examples for you!
I'm loving how they turned out, and hope to use my gelatos again really soon!
Good luck, cherries! Can't wait to see how this or other Pinterest prompts inspire you this month!

Oh and wow I love your cards and what you did with the gelatos! I have so much practicing I want to do with mine! I love the technique you used!
Here is my LO. I was inspired by the many colors. I also used this LO in the Let's Get Sketchy Challenge.
