Life Is Good- Inspirational Canvas Video Tutorial for Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft


Hi Everyone,
 I'm so excited to start the new year here on the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft blog.
Today I created an inspirational canvas titled "Life is Good". It uses many different Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products and it especially features Gelatos®. 


Below is a video tutorial on how I created the main flower on this canvas. It was created using canvas fabric and coloured in with Gelatos®. Enjoy the video!!



The Canvas' background was first primed with Gesso. Then I painted it using Gelatos®. I blended 3 different colours to create the dark contrast behind the flower. I used Gold Champagne, Iced Coffee and Iced Chai from the Metallic Gelatos® set. 
I also used watered down gesso to create white splatters on the background.


I used the Whipped Spackle to create the white script stencilled pattern and the title on the background. I also used it to create a border around the canvas. The Glass Bead Glitter gel was used with the circular stencil from the 101 set and mixed with the watermelon Gelato to add more texture to the background. 


I used Stamper's Big Brush Pen in white, black and orange glaze to draw the flower stem, leafs and some doodling. The black one was also used to stamp patterned texture onto the background.

This Way- January's Prima BAP



I was really happy to be able to play this month with the Prima BAP.
I haven't played with it for more than half a year and I'm happy to get to design with the first one of this new year.

I really can't believe its 2016!!
Happy New Year to everyone and I hope this year brings us all health, happiness, peace and love!!



I wanted to create a fun and bright layout for this picture of our puppy running on the grass.  I used the oil pastels to create the water-colour ombre background on the 12x12 water-colour paper pad. I then used embellishments and flowers to mat the photo. 


The background makes it look as if our dog is running on actual grass!!

Reminiscing on 2015!!!



Hi Everyone,


Just thought to reminisce on the past year.

2015 was a difficult year for me personally but I learned to believe that G-d has its best intentions for me.

I'm very grateful for the life I've been given and I'm wishing all of us a healthy and peaceful new year!!

May this world feel some much needed peace and may all of us send some love into this world to make it a better place.

<<>>
I've chosen a project from each month from this past year!!

I tried to choose those projects that were meaningful to me or that brought some meaning into my life!!

Thank you so much for all the support you have given me for the past 4 year!!

Have a happy and healthy new year!!!
