18 x 24 stretched canvas
Scrapbook paper - one that has red, turquoise and yellow or close enough colors!
The scrapbook paper I'm using came from a Scrapbook pack called Flower Garden by Park Lane Paperie. It is not sold on Amazon I'm sorry! No link, I purchased my at JoAnn Fabrics here in the U.S. Any Scrapbook paper will do though!!!
NOTE: FOR THE GELATOS LAYER, I USED KING GEL ART CRAYONS AS A SUBSTITUTE AND THEY WERE....WELL...YUCKY.
I WOULD SKIP THIS STEP IN THIS PROJECT ALTOGETHER.
INSTEAD, CONTINUE ON EXACTLY AS I DO ON ALL PARTS OF THIS PROJECT AND COMPLETE THE SHADING USING ON THE CINNAMON COLOR PITT PEN. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED AND ALL I ENDED UP USING ANYWAYS AS ALL OF MY GEL CRAYON WIPED AWAY WHEN I SEALED IT. SKIPPING THIS STEP WILL PREVENT YOU FROM MAKING THE SAME MESS AS I DID.
