This is the first time I have used Faber Castell gelatos. I scribbled the three colors on an acrylic block and then spritzed with water to make them blend and run a bit. Then I placed white cardstock onto the block (rather than pressing the block onto the paper) and punched the butterfly from the paper.
After embossing the cuttlebug folder, I swiped Brilliance ink pads across the raised areas and got this soft and pretty background.
This card is somewhat CAS, even though I have used more color/layers than most of the CAS designers do. Pretty simplistic, but I love how this card turned out! I purposely did not use a sentiment on the front and will put one inside the card when I'm in need of a quick card to send out.
