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.)
