We're Hopping with Faber-Castell!

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:

Here's what I've used to create this card:

Here's what you need to do to re-create this card:

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® Gesso

Faber-Castell® Stipple Brush

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!
