May Arts + Faber Castell


I had a crazy good time playing with the Faber Castell goodies I was working with!
May Arts + Faber Castell = BIG FUN!
Here's what I have to share:


I used 3 colors of gelatos from the red mix & match set & mixed it with the whipped spackle.
Gelatos Colors-Red
Whipped Spackle
Ombre fun? Yes, please!
I spread that over 2" webbed weave ribbon.
I tied a big 1.25" white silk bow & 1/4" pink silk tails


Another mix of gelato & spackle, this time spread over 7/8" adhesive fleur-de-lis scroll design.
I love having cards like this in my stash!


I can hardly contain my excitement for this project!!!
I've painted a bottle with a multi-surface paint on top & the bottom is Faber Castell's chalkboard paint!
LOVE!
Chalkboard Paint
I've tied 1/8" burlap cord in ivory at the color break- with a nautical knot in front.
Burlap string in ivory around the neck, with the tails holding navy satin cut-out anchors!


I used the Stamper's Big White pen to create my 'chalk' ahoy!

Have I mentioned that I'm excited about this?

    Love these! The first card is great with the ombre and bow dipped in pink, genius! The second card is simplicity at its awesomeness. And the bottle, just put me over the top!

    I kind of wish you would've shown us how to mix the Gelatos with the Spackle. It's not all that intuitive for some of us who are newer to craft projects than some. But ohhh, your projects are awesome. :)
