Stampendous and Faber-Castell have enjoyed a week-long collaboration and today we're celebrating with a final blog hop. We're so glad you could join us! I have two projects to share with you today. One is a card and the other is a simple mixed media piece. First up is my card:
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to come back soon for another visit!
Here's what I've used to create this card:

Here's what you need to do to re-create this card:
Stamp image with black ink
Color image with Gelatos and a water brush
Trim image to desired size
Create your card base with a tent fold and trim a mat for your image from the same paper
Trim patterned paper as shown
Cut a piece of ribbon to layer along width of card
Adhere ribbon to middle of patterned paper
Adhere patterned paper to card base
Adhere image to mat and apply foam squares
Mount image to card base
Here's my second project, a simple mixed media piece done with my favorite flower and colors!
Here's what you need to create this project:
Fedrix 8 x 10 Canvas Panel
Faber-Castell® Gelatos® in Pistachio, Grape, Gold Champagne, Chocolate, Lemon and Mango
Liquitex® Matte Gel Medium
Archival Ink™ in Jet Black
Torn Book Pages
Baby wipes
Here's what you do to create your own canvas:
Put down a layer of gel medium
Add torn pieces of book pages covering entire canvas
Top with a layer of gel medium and allow to dry
Stamp image with black ink
Gesso around image leaving a border of torn paper
Color image with Gelatos and a water brush
Using baby wipe, go around edges buffing on gold Gelato
Randomly dot with purple and green Gelatos, wet it with water brush and smudge with a baby wipe
Create a wet paste with the brown Gelato and use stipple brush to flick color randomly over canvas
So that's it for me, I hope you've enjoyed both projects! Here's the complete hop list so be sure to check out everyone's projects and comment for your chance to win!
