Hey there bloggers! Rita Barakat here on the 2nd day of the
Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and Pink Paislee blog hop!
For a chance to win $50.00 in prizes all you have to do is just leave a comment
on each blog post this week! We were given the Pink Paislee Artisan Collection to work with;
If you are not familiar with this line, it looks like it's all white or off white but it
all has a resist or texture perfect to use with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft!
The covers actually have fabric adhered to the board, so it was fun to work with!
I used the same technique on all the pages, drew with Gelatos, sprayed with water and spread the color with a paint brush. I did the same for the Artisan tab dividers, ribbons, titles, chipboard, and elements. I used Grape and Blueberry Gelatos® for the cover and back page of the book. To get more coverage on the Elements and titles I went back over with the matching PITT Stampers big brush.
Here are the pages...
I used Lime and Cotton Candy Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush- 112 Leaf Green & 154 Light Cobalt Blue
I used Banana and Lime Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush- 112 leaf green, 107 Cadmium yellow, 154 Light Cobalt Blue
I used Banana and Tangerine Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush 107 Cadmium yellow, 113 Orange Glaze
I used Tangerine and Red Cherry Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush 113 Orange Glaze & 121 Geranium Lake
I used Peach and Watermelon Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush 132 Light Flesh, 129 Pink Madder Lake
I used Peach and Chocolate Gelatos®.
Stampers Big Brush 132 Light Flesh, 178 Nougat
Here is the back cover.

Wow Rita! Fabulous mini album. I love the way the Pink Paislee Artisan can be coloured with gelatos, giving a co-ordinated look in any color you choose. It is like they were made for each other.

It's so cool how you blend your colors. I usually use my Gelatos dry, but sometimes add water. I like both ways. I need to make something pretty today...
Posted by: Sharon Gullikson | 05/07/2013 at 02:52 PM
I like how you use stencils. They make great backgrounds. Your colors are so nice.

Lovely album! Great use of accents (all the butterflies and arrows and such. I love how the gelatos blend together with water.

I love the look and effect that gellatos have when using them this way. Very exciting for a messy crafter such as myself. I'm going to have to find a place where I can buy these. Can't purchase on line. ;(
