Joy Wreath Card
Cut a 5”x6 1/2” white cardstock and place on craft sheet. Scribble the four green Gelato colors on a small area of your craft sheet. Dip your brush in water and pick up a green color from the craft sheet. Cover some random areas on your cardstock with one color using a circular motion. Rinse the brush and color other areas with the other green colors, blending the colors together with a little more water, as needed, until cardstock is covered. Let dry. Place a ruler 1/4” from each edge and tear along ruler edge to get a 4 1/2”x6” cardstock. Set aside.
Using a few pieces of tape, place the wreath stencil on a piece of white cardstock. Use the brush and the above method to apply 4 green colors of gelatos to the open stencil areas, and around the stencil edges. Move the tape when you get to it. Apply gold Gelato to the berries. Remove stencil and let dry. Cut out the outside and inside of wreath, leaving 1/16” border around edges. Cut a 5”x2” white cardstock and use the above method to center the scrollwork stencil, color the entire cardstock around the stencil and set aside.
