How to watercolor with gelatos

This week's tutorial was created by me. The tutorial can be found here. I got my inspiration from a class I took. I love working with Gelatos because there are many different uses/techniques which can be created with them. I created 2 different cards with this technique. I used regular cardstock and watercolor paper. I used "Chrysanthemum" Stamp set from Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.

My supplies are: Burgundy card ( regular cardstock)  Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, Gelatos, Spellbinder's Devine Eloquence dies, ribbon, and E6000 spray adhesive.

Pink card (watercolor paper): Memento Luxe Tuxedo Black ink, Fun Stampers Journey cardstock, watercolor paper, Gelatos, Spellbinder's Romantic Rectangles dies,ribbon, and pop dots.
