Metallic Gelatos: Creamy smooth metallic colors • Water soluble • Excellent on dark papers • Acid-free • These luscious acid-free pigment sticks glide on creamy vibrant color and blend beautifully with or without water. Add brilliant shimmering effect in one color or add to other colors. They work great on dark papers and on smooth and textured surfaces, even flocked papers and canvas. Try a variety of stamping techniques from the traditional method of applying color directly to the stamp, to reverse stamping. This is a subtle technique created by laying down a field of Gelato color on paper and using a stamp to remove some of the color.
