Top Technique/Product in 2014
Top Technique/Product in 2014. In 2014, we played around with lots of different products and techniques here at Add a Little Dazzle, but there was one that really stood out among readers. Our readers LOVED this so much and got busy creating their own versions with our Craft Metal Sheets. This technique has become a favorite on Pinterest and You Tube. Add a Little Dazzle is actually the only place you can learn this fun technique that incorporates craft metal sheets and gelatos to create the Ombre Effect on metal. Join me today and lets revisit this fun card and technique and learn how to create it.
Gelatos
During 2014, I saw lots of cards and DIY projects using Gelatos. I love the look they created and wanted to find a way to incorporate them using Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets. My goal was to take this product and use it in a way that crafters had never seen before by using them on craft metal sheets to create a stunning effect.
The challenge was on and I ordered some Gelatos and patiently waited for them to arrive so I could start experimenting with them. Honestly, at first I didn’t think it was going to work, but I was determined and so I kept playing around with them until BAM!!
Ombre Effect
The first technique I decided to try with the Gelatos on Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets was the Ombre Effect. This effect creates a graduation of color going from darkest to lightest. As you can see from the picture above I was able to create that look.
When I released this card in 2014, the feedback was AMAZING. Readers loved using the Ombre Effect Technique with Gelatos and Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets. Crafters everywhere were busy trying out this fun technique on our craft metal sheets and they fell in love. To this day, this project along with other Gelato Technique Projects that use Add a Little Dazzle Craft Metal Sheets are pinned on Pinterest on a daily basis.
Yesterday, I shared another fun technique using Gelatos. What a beautiful masculine card using Gelatos to create a Faux Patina Effect! Check it Out!
