Here's my project using both company's products!

 

"Fly" canvas

I knew I wanted to create a mixed media canvas for this project.  The stamps inspired me to create with wings in mind (aren't they always showing up in my work?).  I used a variety of Faber-Castell's products in this project.

 Close up of the Prima canvas page that I colored with Gelatos and stamped with the Big Brush Markers.

 This is a sneak peek of a new product that DMC is releasing at the Summer CHA.  New crayons and watercolors!  I used the crayons as a resist with the watercolors over them.

 Gelato stamped butterflies!  I drew on the stamp with a silver and black Gelato and stamped!  Every other one, I misted with water to create a more intense version.

 Drippage and Jellie Dots create lots of color and texture from the coffee sleeve.

 See the birdie?  I used my template that I drew (from the Prima tote class) over a stamped file folder.  I used the Big Brush Marker and 18th Century Proclamation stamp.  I created a mist with black and silver and used it over the template.  Once dry, I outlined with a PITT artist pen.

 Supplies used:
The Rubber Cafe stamps: 18th Century Proclamation & Vintage Treasures
Jellie Dots- Pearl, Cotton Candy, and Terrifically Teal
Faber-Castell products: Gelatos (blues, yellows, black, and silver), PITT Artist Pen in small Black, Big Brush Artist Pen in black, crayons, watercolors
Canvas refill page: Prima/ Donna Downey
Feather
Ribbon: May Arts
Mini File folders

sheet music
Coffee Sleeve
I totally enjoyed using The Rubber Cafe's products in making this canvas!
