Blog Hop with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft and Just Right Stamps

Justrite

Welcome to our blog hop with JustRite® Stampers!  We’re so excited to show you what we’ve been working on over the past couple of weeks! 
We’ll also be giving away a prize every day (3/18 ~3/19)!

Before I show you the prize pack, let me share my project I did with the stamps and Design Memory Craft's products.  I created a wall hanging with the adorable Grandma's Attic Background stamp and Ooh La La French Frills Stamps.





 Using Faber-Castell's Textural Accents gel medium, I adhered sewing pattern tissue paper to the chipboard piece.  I stamped with Stamper's Big Brush Markers in black and they came out so crisp and gorgeous!
Gelatos from the 50's Diner set added color to the dress form and hexagons.

I hope you liked my wall-hanging and will continue the hop!   Here are the prizes you could win!
Leave me a comment and make sure you visit the other designers and main sites!

Two winners will win the following prize pack from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft:

Jen Matott here to share a project made with Faber Castell Design Memory Craft and Cornish Heritage Farms Rubber Stamps.  I created a cover to my new journal.CornishHeritage05For this canvas journal cover, I used the following:
Cornish Heritage Farms rubber stamp  Antiques
Cornish Heritage Farms Backgrounders rubber stamp in French Script
Cornish Heritage Farms Backgrounders rubber stamp in WoodGrain
Cornish Heritage Farms rubber stamps in A Time to Stamp
Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos®:  Banana, Squid Ink, Acqua Dolce, Snow Cone, Blood Orange
Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Stamper's Big Brush pen: Black
Faber- Castell Design Memory Craft Textural Accents Gesso
CornishHeritage01
First I coated the cover with Faber- Castell Design Memory Craft's Textural Accents Gesso and allowed it to dry.  I then stamped this image in black.
CornishHeritage03I added Banana Gelato to the center and added water with a spray bottle.  Tip the journal to create the drippage. 
CornishHeritage02I used the Gesson on a tag by applying a thick coat and allowing it to mostly dry before stamping the Woodgrain stamp into the gesso.  It made a raised image and then I added Gelatos to accent the image.
CornishHeritage06You can see the detail here and I also stamped a key and lock with the Stamper's Big Brush Pen in Black.
CornishHeritage07
CornishHeritage08Here is a close up of the stamps on vellum.  It was attached with staples to the canvas an you can see the clock from underneath.
