Materials:

• 4ct Metallic Gelatos
• Gold & Silver Gelatos
• White Gelato
• Mister
• Stencil
• Black velvet paper

Instructions:

1. Use a black velvet paper and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft's Gelatos and Metallic Gelatos to create this journal page.
    
2. This bird shape is cut out of a printable shipping label that has adhesive on the back. It allows you to stick it on the velvet and color over and around it without holding it or worrying about it shifting.
   
   
    
3. Use Metallic Gelatos and the White Gelato to create a very vibrant and rich look. The Metallics vibrate on the surface and are so soft and brilliant.  Once you finish random marks, add a circle stencil (sequin waste) and rub the Gelatos through it with your finger.
   
   
    
4. Here's a close up of the dots once you remove the mask sticker. You can see the contrast between the black velvet and the metallic colors.
