Wow! Can I just say how much I love Faber-Castell®!! When you combine it with Stampendous®, it's a match made in Heaven! For my project today I've used Bowl Bouquet and one of the many great sentiments from Friendship Assortment. I've colored my image with Faber-Castell's Art Grip® Aquarelle Pencils. Each watercolor pencil is given a number and the ones I've used are 147, 162, 109, 104, 107, 166, 167, 115, 118, 126, 163, 199 and 132. Aren't the colors pretty!?
Here's what I used to create this project:
Ranger Archival Ink™ in Jet Black
My Mind's Eye® Six By Six Designer Paper Pad in "A Mother's Love"
Bazzill® Cardstock
Canson® Watercolor Paper
Queen & Co.® Pearls
Scor-Tape®
Misc. Foam Mounting Squares
Water brush
Here's how you can create this card:
Stamp image with black ink
Color image with pencils and apply water with water brush
Create card base with a tent fold
Trim patterned paper for background
Stamp sentiment with black ink
Apply color to sentiment
Trim a mat for image and sentiment
Adhere all layers as shown and pop sentiment on
Affix pearls as shown
