Stampendous and Faber-Castell Blog Hop


It's Friday Hop day and I'm happy to be back, boy what a week, to share with you a little album I've started and ready to fill in some of the pages. First let me say, welcome to my blog and the last day of the collaboration with Faber-Castell's Design Memory Craft.


For all the details on the prize package you can go to the Stampendou Blog and get them there!
Janelle Stollfus ,, you are here!


Here are my supplies in a photo and I'll share the links later in my post.


The cover was created with the Bouquet for You Perfectly Clear Stamp Set, PITT Pastels in Red, Green and Neutral, Pop Rectangles Stencil, Dreamweaver White Embossing Paste and palette knife. The black blob is a skein of black crochet thread.


I chalked up the inside cover with Faber-Castell Black Chalkboard Paint, Look Fabulous, White Big Brush Pen (not photographed), and a White PITT Pastell Pencils.


I created the third page with stamps from the same Bouquet For You, a PITT Artist Small Pen and PITT Pastels.


Almost the same as the first chalkboard Paint Panel, except for this panel I embossed with Detail White Embossing Powder.


The last page is fun, but a messy technique. Add the stencil over the album and tape down. Dilute the ink from the green Gelatos® tube with water in a small bowl and paint onto album through the stencil. I pressed down on the stencil close to where I was adding the diluted Gelatos so the watercolor wouldn't run underneath the stencil. After that I went around the edges with the brush to  fill it all in.


Here's the finished piece.

Supplies:

Stampendous and Dreamweaver Stencils
SCC1221 Bouquet For You
V311 Look Fabulous
DWLJ929 Pop Rectangles Stencil
DWLJ825 Jungle leaves
DWDEP White Embossing Paste
DWDPK Palette Knife

Faber-Castell:
Mini Journal Board
PITT Pastel Pencils

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
