Full Bloom Chalkboard for Faber Castell Design Memory Craft

0

Hi everyone,  I'm super excited to bring  you today's project. I've created this Chalkboard Art that would make an awesome gift for someone.   This project is one of those that started out being one thing and ended up being something totally different.  I started out wanting to make watercolor card gift sets to share with friends. But when I finished the Art Panel it was just too beautiful to turn into a card. It needed to be displayed on a wall!

I have created a process video that is included in the post on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Website.

Dragonfly Frenzy Card

0

Welcome to summer!  It is so hot here in the Sunshine State, and flowers are blooming EVERYWHERE!  My yard is covered with little dragonflies dancing from blossom to blossom.  I was so excited to see the  Dragonfly Frenzy die in this last release.  I couldn't wait to use it! It worked beautifully with the new Jack & Jill Flower die!  

Dragonfly Frenzy

Jack & Jill Flowers

I followed this month's sketch and dare challenge, for my card designs.

This month's dare is to use Vellum.

Please visit this post here!

 To get details on how the sketch challenge and dare works, and to link up your blog post!

  You could win a $25 gift certificate to Die-Namites.

I used the Jack & Jill Flowers die as my base for my colorful dragonflies.   

 I cut both of my dies with vellum and colored them with my Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®  Stamper's Big Brush Artist Pens, 

I used the May Green #170,  to color in the leaves on the Jack & Jill Flowers die.

Then I used the Pink Madder Lake #129, to color in the center of the shadowed areas of the flowers. Since the Stamper's Big Brush Artist Pens stay moist on the slick surface of the vellum for a few minutes, I used my finger to shade in the rest of the flower which left me with this nice variegated look. 

I used the Light Cobalt Turquoise #154 to color in the wings of the dragonflies on the Dragonfly Frenzy die. 

Then the Cool Grey VI 235 to color their bodies.   I also used the May Green for the leaves, and the Pink Madder Lake for the tiny flowers on this die.  Once my Dragonfly Frenzy die was colored, I cut it into three pieces, and placed them around the floral spray. I only placed glue on the leaves and the body of the dragonflies.  This elevated their wings and made them look like they were in flight.   

Have you submitted your
  Sketch Challenge and Dare project?  

Why not?  What are you waiting for?  Don't Miss out on that $25 Gift Certificate.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Boy Birthday Card by Tonya Gibbs

1

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a great week.  My favorite part of Marion's designs are all the little tiny elements that you can fussy cut and cluster together.  Today's project was inspired by the layout I made for yesterday's post.  

 

I used a  few of the same techniques, but this time, I took elements from Marion's Nirvana collection, and the Texture stamps from Marion's latest release to create the mixed media background boy card. 

 

 

 

Here is how I did the background for this card. 

I started with a piece of cardstock, and spread modeling paste or gesso using your favorite stencil. Allow it to dry completely.

 

Using a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Pitt Artist Pen - carefully rub some of the ink onto the stenciled area. Try to avoid direct contact with the cardstock.  Do a small section then go to next step.

 

 

Using your finger rub the Pitt Pen Ink to blend, allow some of the ink to spill over the cardstock.

 

 

 

Archival ink was used around the edges to further distress the background.

 

I used a green Pitt Artist Pen directly on my stamps then stamped it onto my background paper.   These pens are temporary blendable ink on a prepped surface as seen on the hexagons.  However, when used on a non-prepped surface they offer a permanent ink solution. 

 

 

Pick a brown watercolor shimmer mist (I used Gossamer Gold by Lindy's Stamp Gang), and spray onto a non-porous surface. I used recycled packaging for my pallet.

 

 

 Use a circular item and stamp the bottom into the ink, then apply it to your project. 

 

 

 

 

The grungy effects give this background and instant masculine feel.   All I have to do now is build out my layers.  In addition to Marion's ephemera, I've also included a chipboard #2, sentiment, twine, and puzzle pieces.

 

 

Thanks for stopping in today,
