I am so excited to be creating along with my CardMaker team members using amazing Faber-Castell products. My first project was inspired by the Faber-Castell Paper Flower Kit. The kit comes with precut flowers, adhesives and four Gelatos to enhance your finished project... everything you'll need to get started!
You should have arrived here from Linda Beeson's blog. I have the entire blog hop list below, but the fun starts on the CardMaker Blog.
I created my dimensional flower from multiple pieces from the kit. The base layer was a white precut flower that was painted with a wash of the Metallic Melon Gelato. When that was dry, I added some lines of clear Texture Gems (a liquid that dries clear). Layered over this is a precut velum flower with Texture Gem dots to look like water droplets. The center was created from two smaller flowers from the kit that were painted with Lemon Gelato and completed with a few dots of Texture Gems.
The kit comes with circle foam adhesive dots to layer the flowers together or adhere to the final project. I kept my card simple to highlight the pretty flower!
The kit comes with detailed instructions to create a few different designs to give you ideas on how to start. I took my inspiration from the flower from page 8.
Since I had my Gelatos out on my desk, I thought I'd create a quick and simple card.
Aren't you ready for spring? I know I am!
Are you ready to keep hopping?

ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are so pretty! I love the sweet layering on your flower and the colours you used. The wreath with the 'halo' effect is a nice technique. I am never good at colouring within the lines. :)

ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are simple elegance! I like that you chose to do one card with dimension and the other a one layer card. It gives you a good idea of the versatility of this kit tfs.
