Brittny Kvilhaug shares her mixed media design using Faber-Castell products
Hi all! Here is my first project for the Faber-Castell Design Memory Works guest design team. I am super in love with making something from nothing, and this has been a puuuurty fun something to make!! I’ve gotta say, when I first started painting, I was so scared that I might mess up, as if there was even such a thing, and now I see that part of the reason I love this so much is that you CAN’T mess up. No matter what, you always end up with something fantastic, because it comes from your heart. So here is my Two Hearts canvas.
Cover your canvas with sewing patterns, using a gloss gel medium such as Decoupage or Mod Podge. Wrinkles will form and that is a good thing! It adds lots of texture later on.
Use a palette knife to spread acrylic paint over stencils to add some great texture to your canvas. Dry with a heat tool to speed up the process.
Mini Fold Book
Grab a warm cup of hot cocoa and some cookies and get cozy... I've got a whopping fun post for you today! I've been working on this project all week... working out all the kinks. :) Almost everything I'm using today is by Papertrey Ink.
I've always been a fan of mini books... little ones specifically. I enjoy carrying them in my purse and being able to pop one out anytime. As I was pondering Christmas presents for friends and teachers I thought about how neat it would be to have a mini book calender, so I tried it out! I created a fun and easy fold book with it's own unique binding to keep everything protected too. It's SO versatile ... I've even started a family photo book for myself to keep with me as I am out and about. Here are the two together. (Click on any photo to view a larger, more detailed photo.)

Misting, Masking, & Stamping techniques by Kinsey
Using tag, die cut, stamp, embellishments and misters...
First, I used a paper punch to create the resist and the mask (a die cut machine would do the trick as well) and then used the punched shape and misted over it...

Pressure embossing resist technique:
This technique combines:

Tuesday Tips and Techniques

| by Linda Lucas |
Linda Lucas share two techniques using Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut material - and then she'll embossusing an M-Bossabilities...I love the outcome!
The second technique is layering - using different Dies Templates to add eclectic layering.
Let's get started:
Apply Elmers Craft Bond Glue Stick to your card then attach the material, then leave it to dry properly. Next, using your Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine cut the Labels Seventeen Nestabilities
as you normally would, after running it through once, turn the whole
'sandwich' over and run it through again - this ensures that the Die has
cut through the card and the material - it is as easy as that!!
Inspired by.. Darlene Design
I love butterfly's and this card done by Darlene Design caught my attention. Follow along as she takes you through the steps so used to create. (includes video and supplies) Enjoy!
This week is pretty much all watercolor. I used a stamp I picked up at the Scrapbook Convention here in Dallas a few months ago. I picked a part of the background to highlight (the butterfly), which you could do with a lot of background stamps out there.
I find that watercolor works best when you heat emboss the outlines. So, the background is embossed in white and the butterfly is embossed in black. I experimented with embossing the background in black but it was just too dark and distracting.
The butterfly’s antennae are glued on with embroidery thread, with a little rhinestone on the tip. I had a little mental trouble with the symmetry – you’ll see in the video, lol!
Heat Embossed Copic Watercolor by Sharon Harnist
August 10, 2012
When contemplating what to make for you
today, I decided I wanted to do one of my all-time favorite coloring
techniques, watercolor. I LOVE the painterly look and just sitting
down to do it is so relaxing! Naturally I wanted to incorporate my Copics, for their well-known vivid array of colors!
