Blog Hop with Pink Paislee- Day 3

Hi!  It's day 3 of our Blog Hop with Pink Paislee.  Jen Matott here to share a little project that I made with the Artisan line and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products.  I loved the wooden covers from their album because it's covered in fabric that you can color yourself!  I took one of them and made it into a cute hanging sign.

Here's some of the process I used with parts of this sign.  I started with creating a spray with the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft 50's Diner Gelatos® set in Banana using the Gelatos^® Mist Maker Set.

This kit makes it very easy to make your own sprays from the Gelatos® and some water.  I used the Banana color and shaved a bit off with the tool into a dish. I filled the spray bottle up with water and dumped it into the dish.  After swirling and mushing up the Gelatos®, I used the eyedropper to put the color in the spray bottle. Viola!  Done! I used a Pink Paislee stencil to create the background.  Once it was dry, I added some of the other colors in the corners.

I placed the stencil back over the design and drew with the PITT Artist Pen in black to create sketchy look.

I created some more spray and used it to color the ribbon. I attached the ribbon with adhesive to the back of the wooden plaque so that they were layered.

I love those Artisan shapes and words!  They are white and perfect for adding colors to customize your page or project. I used the PITT Artist Pen in Black Small tip to outline the groove in the word.

Here is one of the Artisan papers that has a resist design already on the paper so all you have to do is add color!  I used Gelaots to add color and wiped off the color that collected on the resist with a towel.  I also colored the butterflies (one was a chipboard resist one and the other is paper) with the Aqua Dolce and Banana.

Before I assembled it all, I added some dots with sequin waste and the Squid Ink Gelato and dabber.  I colored some on the craft mat and picked it up with the dabber.  I swirled it over the stencil and it created soft dots.   Here's a look at the finished project all done again.

Don't forget to visit the Pink Paislee blog for more inspiration from their DT!

Stampers Big Brush Pen Doodled Shoes

Hi everyone! It’s Katie with my last post for Design Memory Craft as part of their guest design team. Soon you will get to see projects from the new guest design team who I’m sure will have some amazing projects to inspire you with!

This project is a fun one. If you love doodling + shoes, you’re going to love it. I doodle on everything and I have recently started drawing on canvas shoes. For this pair I used Stamper Big Brush Pens to draw and color my designs. Here’s how:

My New Kicks!

Jen Matott here with some new kicks to share!  I found these shoes at Target (my favorite place to shop)... I knew on first glace that they were perfect for altering!  Too plain on their own but with some Gelatos, Stamper's Big Brush Pens, and Gesso, they were transformed into a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes!  I can't wait for spring so I can wear them! 

Inspirational Canvas using Gelatos®

Hi everyone! I love to create with blank canvas - it is such a great way to start a project. The possibilities are endless. To paint or not to paint. Paper or no paper? What mediums do I want to play with?For this canvas I wanted to create something a little less constrained that I normally do. Something pretty free flowing. So I broke out my whole pile of Gelatos® and went to work.

Spring Mixed Media Canvas Tutorial

Hello everyone, Katie here! The sun is shining where I live (in Texas) and the birds are singing, so I wanted to make a fun Spring inspired mixed media canvas! Is it starting to warm up where you live? If it still feels a bit like winter, hopefully this bright and cheerful canvas will make it more like Spring!

Mini Album for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone, Anita here and today I want to share with you a super cute mini album I made for Valentine's Day. I love to make mini albums - I have a bookcase full of them and they are all over the house.

For this project I used a Maya Road Square Canvas Binder Album. I started by taking the canvas off the album so I could work with it. I really wanted a hippie feel for this, and I knew I wanted some negative space on it.
