Creating Background Papers for your Projects

Hi! Elena is here to share one more project using Faber-Castell Design Memore Craft Gelatos® and Paper Crafter Crayons™

To start I made some drawing with paper Crafter Crayons™, they are waterproof, so you can easely add water or any wet mediums on them.

  I used some bright colors to create the background on the corrugated cardboard and watercolor paper. To achieve different dimmension on the surfaces I used The Gelatos® Tool Set . I made some drawing with paper Crafter Crayons™.

I made drips and splashes using Dot Dabber.

  To Stamp the Sentiment I used Stamper's Big Brush Pen and JustRite Stamps.

 Also I made some stamping on the background and applied Gelatos® using my fingertips as well as Palette Knife.

and here is the result after cutting the papers and adding some embellishments:

  You can watch the process of creating the background in this video

 

  I hope you will enjoy it too.

  Supplies:

The Gelatos® Tool Set

Paper Carfter Crayons™: Blue/Green and Neutral packs

I am Elena Olinevich from Belarus, Eastern Europe. I was a sales and marketing manager at the top brand cosmetic company before my last kid was born.Now I am a SAHM, but during last year my life has changed completely. I started scrapping my kid's photos but at the present moment I design for several manufacturers worldwide and teach classes.

when I came to the scrappy world I created mostly the cards, but now I am addicted to LOs with mixed media techniques and altered art. And many of my creations are published in magazines all over the world.

Besides creating beautiful papers and backgrounds, it just looks like a whole lot of fun to do! Thanks for sharing the different techniques for the various products, I really want some of the crayons and the gel medium to play with. Guess I will just have to save my pennies. . .
