I am so
excited to share a project that grew while I was demoing Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products in the Rubber Cafe booth at the Somerset,
NJ Scrapbook Expo. I met Melissa there and it was a pleasure! Wish we
had more time to chat but they were busy and I had to head home right
afterwards. In the two days I was there, I created individual banner
pieces using the Steampunk and Vintage Treasures stamps. I loved using these images on my projects!
Here is my finished banner all put together and ready to hang in my art
room! I used canvas, cardboard, matboard, and mixed media paper for
the base.
I just want to highlight a few of the pieces using the stamps from the
two sets. This one is on a piece of mixed media paper (thicker and more
rigid than watercolor paper) using Faber-Castell Big Brush Markers in
Black and Nougat to stamp with. I then used Faber-Castell Design Memory
Craft Gelatos in Yellow and Blue sets with water and foam brush from the Lil' Inkerz set. I also used a stencil to create the hexagons and dots. The gears are from the Steampunk stamp set and the clocks from the Vintage Treasures set.
Here are a few more close ups of the banner pieces. Another using Gelatos to stamp with. I just colored the stamps with a combination of colors and stamped them with a light mist of color on the stamp.
Peeling away the top layer of the cardboard in a few places gives texture and drama to a piece. I then colored with Gelatos and stamped too.
Another piece with stamping and Gelatos using the foam tool for a bold dramatic look. The colors are bright and I also used a text stamp that comes with the Steampunk set.
Stamping with Big Brush Markers, washes of watered down Gelato, and colored modeling paste. I used gold and silver Gelatos to color on a mat and then added modeling paste to mix with them to customize the look. I used that stencil again!
I love the different techniques that I can use with the stamps and hope to have some short videos detailing some of them in the near future! Stay tuned!
