Play date with Faber Castell and Unity...

Hello my fabulous friends!

Have you been having a blast with the Unity & Faber Castell Hop? I hope so! So much awesomeness!

We've got some ADORABLE new Angiegirl stamps at Unity…along with some great deals! Don't forget to do some shopping this weekend after the hop. :)

I ADORE this cut bird! It's a freebe for those who are members of the KOTM club. How stickin' awesome is that?!?   The sentiment is from Warmth and Winter Wishes.

I used Gelatos and a water brush to color them… by mixing the colors just a few colors, you can get a lot of depth and variations. Super fun!

I stamped an extra bird and fussy cut it… I then attached it to the card using foam tape for some fun dimension.

Another fabulous thing to do with Gelatos is stamping… Simply scribble the Gelatos directly not a stamp, mist with a little water, then stamp. I used Moments in Bloom  Now, of course I needed some matching ribbon, so I tried one of my favorite tricks. Guess what? It worked!

Gelato Crinkle Ribbon

Step 1: Scribble various Gelatos onto 100% rayon seam binding (this can be found with sewing stuff)

Step 2: Spritz with water and scrunch up in a ball

Step 3: Allow to dry, or hit it with a heat tool… 
You end up with a beautifully variegated  crinkle ribbon!


Well, that's it for me! If you haven't stopped by the Faber Castell blog, make sure you do! So much fabulous talent! Seriously! (plus, they have a prize up for grabs too!)

Thanks Faber Castell for teaming up with us! You guys are awesome!

 Don't forget to leave a comment on all the blogs...You have until 9-21 to comment and have a chance at this amazing prize!  Good luck!

Enjoy!

    Look at that ribbon!! I wasn't aware we could color it! This is one technique I will be using for sure!! Using the gelato on the stamp and misting it gives it a nice look and texture!
