Faber-Castell {Design Memory Craft} Come in to Win!

A few weeks ago, I saw an ad in a magazine for the new Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products (Gelatos, PITT Artist Pens, watercolor pencils, metallic pens, etc.). Well, I thought to myself, "I really want to try these. They look SO fun!" Well, not 4 hours later, I got an e-mail from Chelsy asking me if I would be interested in trying these products and sharing them on my blog and having a give-away! Wow, I get to try them AND my subscribers have a chance to win? Well, I couldn't turn that down! I was SO, SO excited. The products came, and I have been playing! Oh are they fun! Let's look at what I used, what I created, and how you can win some of this fun stuff.

The Layout
I decided to create an 8x8 layout using the Gelatos and PITT Artist Pens. To begin, I started with the white Gelatos, my pink Bazzill cardstock, and my water bottle. I spritzed the Memory Box Vintage Record Sheet {G1712} stamp with water, and then I colored it with the white Gelatos and stamped it onto the cardstock:

Next, I splashed the orange Gelatos on the cardstock by rubbing some Gelatos onto my acrylic block, spritzing it with water, then getting it all on my paintbrush to "flick" onto the paper.  There are subtle drops of orange on the layout. A darker color of course would give a bolder affect.

Then I used the PITT big brush pen to ink up the Memory Box Gorgeous Mini Bloom {B1761} stamp. Because the color would have been too bold, I stamped on a scrap piece of paper first then stamped again onto my cardstock. I wanted the brown color just not so bold. :) Oh, and these markers color fabulously onto stamps! WOW!

I also used that same stamp and the larger Memory Box Gorgeous Bloom {E1760} stamp to create the flower in the bottom left-hand corner of the layout. I used the full color from the brush pen for the flower then I added some doodle lines to the pink cardstock to "define the space." And here is how my 8x8 layout turned out. The photo is of the “Valentine Bunch” my husband brought home to me and our identical triplets for Valentine’s Day this year. The colors represent each of our favorite colors. Gotta love that man!

Color Gelatos are creamy sticks infused with brilliant color. The color slides easily onto papers and can then be dissolved with water to create watercolor effects, or left to dry for vibrant bursts of color. Try stamping with the Color Gelatos, or apply a field of color and use a stamp to remove the color. Color Gelatos work wonderfully on flocked papers and embellishments too! Color Gelatos are acid-free and odorless.
