Hi everyone and welcome to day five of the blog hop with Canvas Corp! To win Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®'s $50 prize, comment below each day this week. One random winner will be selected on April 20th.
Hi everyone! Jen here to share with you a project that creates with Canvas Corp bag and Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products. I started with a hexagon stencil from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Mixed Media Stencil 101 Collection and used Gelatos® Colors Brights set to create areas of shape and color.
Color inside the stencil and then blend with finger. I rub in a circlular direction to create a mixed effect.
I used the same stencil to dab Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Chalkboard Paint over to create some black areas. Once dry, I added Art GRIP® Color Pencil in white over the chalkboard painted shapes as well as PITT® Artist Pen in Black around some of the Gelatos® shapes.
Here's a view of the back of the bag... I just added some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Chalkboard Paint through the hexagon stencil and drew with the ArtGrip colored pencil in white.
On the front of the bag, I colored with the Gelatos® Colors in Snow Cone from the Brights set. I tipped the bag up ( I suggest putting a piece of cardboard inside the bag to create a flat, solid surface to paint on) and sprayed water to create drips down the surface. Some text was stamped using a Stamper’s Big Brush Pen in black over some areas.
Next, I added Texture Luxe™ in Gold to some chipboard shapes from UmWowStudio using a foam dabber in the Gelatos Tool Set.
Using that same hexagon stencil, I added some of the Texture Luxe™ in Gold through using a palette knife. Allow to dry completely.
Draw a shape (I created a bee shape) with a PITT® Artist Pen and use as a guide to backstitch using colored floss.
Be sure to hop along with our lovely Design Team all of this week to see what we've made with the Canvas Corp. products and check out THEIR blog to see what they've done with the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft® products this week, too! I hope you enjoyed my project!

thanks for the idea of using something besides canvas or paper for stamping and painting. I'll be off to Michael's to see what kind of bags I can find for some embellishing.
The bag is beautiful - so bright and colorful. It will be a conversation piece wherever you go.

The canvas bag design is EXACTLY the kind of design I was looking to add to my canvas bag. I'm loving the Gelato colors used - they would make a great addition to my supplies.
Thanks Design Memory Craft for the great blog!

I'm a subscriber, but received mail re this hop in my inbox at the end of the hop. In the past too I received after a couple of posts. I wonder if it happens to everyone or does it need some setting? Lovely project though.
