Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Pens

Hi Everyone!
I'm excited to share with you Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush Pens. The India ink won't bleed through your projects which is perfect for those of you that love creating journals. I love it especially because I love to use Composition notebooks. The nib is very sturdy and will not fray. I love that its waterproof and archival therefore once the image is completely dry, you can layer other mediums on top. Here I share with you several ways I like to use the Stampers Big Brush Pens.

The Stamper's Big Brush Gift Set comes with 15 beautiful colors and packaged in a wonderful slide-out storage box that's easy to store away.

Here's several pens I used for this tutorial. (Light Green 171, May Green 170, Permanent Green Olive 167, Nougat 178, Scarlet Red 118)

First I apply the Nougat 178 Stamper's Big Brush pen onto the frame clear stamp.

Next, I apply Permanent Green Olive 167 onto the crown and head of the bird. Then, I apply May Green 170 onto the chest and feet. Last, I apply Light Green 171 onto the bird's back. The pens don't cross contaminate, therefore no need to worry if your pen gets onto another color. Just need to rub the nib onto some cardstock and its good to go.

To add some layer to the bird, I stamped a script image using the Scarlet Red 118 Stamper's Big Brush.

I also created a splatter background by taking my pen and applying some ink onto the clear stamp block. I used my waterpen to create a small puddle then tapped the waterpen over my image.



Here's another fun project I created using both the Color Gelatos™ and Stamper's Big Brush Pens. I first applied the Color Gelatos™ onto the Canvas Banner and stamped several images using the Big Brush Pens. Then, I fussy cut several images from Graphic 45 A Ladies Diary collection and loved how it turned out.

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Color Gelatos™




Hi Everyone!

I'm excited to be a part of Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Brand Ambassador Team for 2012. This week I will share two fun projects I created with their products. I thought it would be fun to create a Dress form Mixed Media painting onto a canvas panel. I really loved how easy it was to apply several Color Gelatos™ onto the canvas and simply take my paint brush and brush it on. I place my dress form on the center of the panel and also stamped several images using some of my favorite stamps. I just loved how it turned out and enjoyed working with the Color Gelatos™.

Webster's Pages Warehouse Sale and Projects

Hi Everyone!
I was so happy when I received an email from Webster's Pages about their Warehouse Sale. I can't believe how much you can get for just $25. I couldn't wait to dive into all the goodies and had to create a couple of projects. I created a layout of my sweet niece Bella and incorporated the super fun photo wheel and Tim Holtz Alterations Word Play Alphabet die by Sizzix. There are so many fun projects I can't wait to create. I also create a birthday card for Natalie using the fun Scallop Circle 3D Pop-Up Card die. I just love all the goodies that came in this box. I'm looking forward to the next Warehouse Sale.
