The Stampendous Team is quite excited to get to play with Faber-Castell products this week!
We will be randomly sharing projects throughout the week that we made with products from Stampendous and Faber-Castell and will end the week with a fun hop on Friday!
My favorite Faber-Castell product is gelatos and I used them on this bright birthday card.
I started by stenciling the Fern with Translucent Embossing Paste on a white cardstock panel.
Then I colored over the fern with a lime gelato. I colored over the remaining paper with cotton candy gelato and then used a wet wipe to lightly spread the colors around.
I stamped the Jumbo Parrot with VersaMark ink and embossed with detail black embossing powder. Then I painted it with the gelatos. To paint with the gelatos I simply scribbled the color on my craft mat and then picked up the color with my watercolor brush.
After the image dried, I fussy cut it out and adhered it to my card.
The finished card has some great shimmer to it!

Wow! I love the vibrancy of Gelatos which work so well for the Parrot image.
So so COOL!!!!!
I've never used Gelatos for such tight areas. I guess you showed it can be done. NICE
The fern is such a neat background image for your bird. This guy reminds me of my neighborhood parrots. I should make this card for neighbors. I like your ideas
Gorgeous and colorful card. I love how you used the gelatos.

Love gelatos and love what you did with this card! So bright and colorful!
You achieved such rich deep color! Love the way you let the parrot's tail hang over the edge!
Lovely card and what a perfect image for watercoloring with your Gelatos! I'm surprised the fern doesn't look whiter using the embossing paste over white cardstock.
