Here there bloggers!
I don't know why but I can never seem find the right color

Hope you are using your Gelatos™!

So cute! I really need to check out Gelatos!
I recently changed the color on a whit flower for a layout using powdered chalk, and it got everywhere. Gelatos look like they would be a little less messy!
Love how your flowers turned out!! Very pretty!!
Love using the gelatos so fun to use and so easy!!
Great tutorial!!
Love them. I used to wear pin on flowers all the time........need to do that again!
They turned out awesome!

You are so smart! Fab idea!
Love that effect!!! Beautiful flowers.
So I LOVED this idea for myself and my daughters and have been meaning to check out Gelatos for a while. Ran down to the mall (which I normally avoid!) to Forever 21 only to find they are under construction! grrr... I will be on the lookout for another white flower clip so I can try this! Great holiday gift, too!
