Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell products are fabulous for most any project and work well to create colorful art journals with minimal effort. Cheryl Boglioli here again, excited to share with you a recent page I made just playing with some new stamps and a few stencils. This is sadly my last month as a Guest Designer for Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell. They have been a pleasure to work with. I do have one more post later this month, but for now, make sure to read to the end for an Awesome Giveaway.
I have a homemade art journal I created by cutting 140# watercolor paper and binding with my Bind-it-All. I misted the watercolor paper with a bit of water and scribbled Gelatos™ colors in Cotton Candy and Butter Cream. Using a wet paintbrush, I blended the colors across the pages.
I started playing with Dylusions and Balzer Designs Creative Workshop stencils with various Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell products. I used more Gelatos™ colors in Tangerine, Coconut, Earl Gray, and a touch of Metallic Blueberry. The metallic added a nice touch that really pops on paper. Of course I love using Stamper’s Big Brush Pens in Black, Orange Glaze and Light Cobalt Turquois. I also used PITT Artist Pens in Indanthrene Blue, Cobalt Green, Leaf Green, Cold Grey III, and Orange Glaze. I love that these pens come in different sized nibs; I used the Small and Brush nib for this project.
I stenciled, stamped, doodled and colored with all of these supplies creating layers of color and images. I used my fingers as well as a damp paintbrush to blend colors as I was layering and even flipped my stencils a few times to stamp a reversed image in places. There is something so freeing about playing in my art journals.
I hope you will pull out some paper and Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell products in a few colors and mediums today and just play and see what happens. Make sure you come back and share with us on Facebook.
