[@barbaraleventhal8571]

I love that you use your fingers to paint or blend!

[@debbie1016]

Very pretty background. I just love the colors you used. And yes there gold did look slightly a (charautse) green color.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you so much!

[@anniethompson9207]

Love the colors..adding the dots just added to the entire piece..👍👍💕🌷🌷

[@bonnerdebbie]

Yes, the gold looked green. Thanks for inspiring me to get my gelatos out again.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks for watching, Debbie!

[@yesabenson]

I love this! I need to get some gelatos! Can you please do a video on a background using stability woody sticks? I bought them but I don’t know what to do with them!!

[@scrappylass5159]

I'm going to try this with my 11 year old daughter who's just got into art journalling, she'll love all the blending with her fingers!

[@AmberKCreative]

YAY, have fun!!! 😊

[@traceybartlam5940]

Love the colours used on the background and that white modelling paste with the stencil 👍

[@Portia620]

I love the color!!!

[@BarbaraRademacher]

Thank you so much for your inspiration. I am working on an art project, and you have motivated me to pull out my long unused Gelatos.

[@AmberKCreative]

That's awesome! Thank you for watching!

[@kathrynanderson7914]

Hello. I love gelato. They are smooth and easy to blend. I like the way you process your art work.

[@kathrynanderson7914]

Hello again. I am learning alot from watching kim and you. Please can you tell me what you used on the stencil / the white stuff I am refering to by the way.

[@karenbrown5174]

This is a very soothing background and I love how the colors blend so nicely. Thank you

[@mitchypoo-j1g]

I love your use of color. very pretty.

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Michele! 💚

[@lisawarner7991]

I’m going to buy gelatos! You have inspired me!

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Thanks for sharing. I agree with you, the gold gelato looks green! I have trouble getting my gelatos to look pretty and blended like yours. I have used water, I have used baby wipes and have used my fingers. I will give wetting my fingers with the baby wipe before blending a go. Thanks for the tip!

[@AmberKCreative]

Jackie, do you gesso your surface??

[@jackiekeegan1678]

Bella Rose Creative Yes, I gesso first, but I was watching you gesso and maybe I don't put enough gesso down.

[@louiseadams5437]

Love this thank you

[@homeschmomof4]

Wonderful Background! I say gold looks green too. I have a container of Gelatos...need to play with again! TFS!~ Jeanne

[@AmberKCreative]

[@aprilcarter749]

Beautiful page for a journal page. I’m still learning how to use gelato crayons. This helped a lot. Before you use the modeling paste I saw a Sun ☀️ Rise. Still beautiful. TFS

[@brendastallings7920]

Very pretty background. You have reminded me to dig out mu gelatos and use them. hmmmm I wonder where they are?

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you! ♥

[@luisafuentefria4264]

Es precioso Amber y ese stencil me encanta. Lo buscaré por aquí en España, haber si lo encuentro 😘😘🇪🇸

[@karenatkinson4053]

It's not just you. The gold looks like green to me also, but it's a pretty green and it goes with the rest of the piece.

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

so pretty - thank you for doing this - i have gelatos and have not used them yet. now i will try them : )

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks, Janet! Go play with your Gelatos!

[@arteybibliabybecky3633]

I loooove this!!!

[@JanineNaquin]

Awesome!

[@Abbie7301]

Are gelatos permanent once dry? I love your color choices these made such a tranquil soothing beautiful background

[@applefulify]

I'm pretty sure they're not permanent but you can try using gel medium/modge podge or something like that. There's also Distress Micro Glaze by Tim Holtz. Try not to spread the medium/glaze in a back and forth motion to avoid smudging the colours. I hope it helps :)

[@donnal.hanrahan2824]

Simple gorgeous beauty

[@ashleymonceaux4601]

How about making your own book & bind them together?? I mean your so talented😁❤ im sure you could come up with some idea!!! Or even a binder type deal & if you do create small arts you can always do an altered hardback book & ripe some pages out of & glue the smaller pages inside of the hardback book. If tha makes sense any

[@AmberKCreative]

I do have a mini binder with page protectors that I put some of them in. Your hardback book idea sounds cool!

[@dakrela]

I like the background 😊

[@beatekoether132]

Oh, so beautiful colors! And I love that you used your junk mail. There's so much of it these days. I have a question regarding the gelatos. Are gelatos the same as oil pastel crayons?

[@SavedByMyKing]

Beate Koether--no they are very different!

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you, Beate! 💚 I don't think I've used Oil Pastel Crayons before. 😮

[@ArtbyMona]

I like it.. simple!

[@AmberKCreative]

Thanks so much! 💙

[@ashleymonceaux4601]

When you do art on the junk mail, scrapbook paper or just any kind of other paper, do you add them into your art journal?? If so how? Glue, tape or do you do something else with it??

[@AmberKCreative]

Right now I just toss them in a bin, but hope to eventually bind them somehow....

[@conniepadilla3055]

What exactly are gelatos are they like oil pastels

[@TheKazadoodle]

I was thinking that the gold looked a little green but then I noticed that your gold nail varnish also had a faint green tinge so maybe it's the camera. Also, your gold gelato tube looks completely different to mine. Mine looks gold while yours looks sort of tan/beige.

[@AmberKCreative]

That's interesting!

[@craftyscissors2609]

Beautiful proyect! :)

[@AmberKCreative]

Thank you! 💜

[@chances26forever]

[@dralbertpakin8895]

Aren't Gelatos just like oil pastels?

[@annekekielstra428]

❤️🇳🇱

[@matissecindy]

Your nails are nice but the colors of manicure is so destructive against the gelatos 😱

[@doggydoc4uinnc]

Is there a difference in texture paste and modeling paste? Thnx
