CardMaker Blog Team and Faber-Castell!

Flower-blk
What fun! The CardMaker Blog team was generously given some products from Faber-Castell, products I’ve never had the chance to work with, so this was a super treat!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I also want to take this time to express my condolences to the Faber-Castell family in the loss of Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell, the eight-generation family entrepreneur.

Paper Flowers Kit-90 Pieces
Gelatos! What fun! And a flower kit, even more fun!
I took this from their website
Nothing on the market today compares with Design Memory Craft Gelatos®. Compact acid-free pigment sticks glide on creamy smooth for vibrant color and coverage. All Gelatos® blend easily with or without water. Try this unique medium on paper, canvas, or wood!
  • Gelatos are unlike any other product on the market today. This dynamic medium is a compact, acid-free pigment stick that glides on creamy smooth for vibrant color and coverage. Gelatos blend easily with or without water and work well on virtually any porous surface!
  • Creamy, Vibrant pigment
  • Water-Soluble
  • Permanent
  • Transform opaque Gelatos Colors into translucent tints or mists with water.
  • Great for adding color and sheen to any surface, including paper, canvas, chipboard, wood, fabric, ribbon, journal boards and many others!
So, here is the card I made with some of the contents of the kit!

I used 3 of the Gelato colors to paint my flower, and used the Texture Gems Ice Liner on the flower center.
So shimmery!
