Hi Helmar Fans!
I hope you have been enjoying all the Faber-Castell projects shared this week by the team! I probably own a little bit of all the products they carry and LOVE them. I wanted to take a look back at some of my favorite projects that I've shared during my term with Helmar!
For this art journal page I used Faber-Castell gelatos to color the background. I just color them directly on the page (after coating with gesso) and spritzed with some water to blend. GORGEOUS and BRIGHT! I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to adhere the chipboard butterflies to my page as well as Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste to adhere & seal the stickers.
For this mixed media tile, I used Helmar Decoupage and Craft Paste to adhere some pattern paper to the tile and then colored right on top with Faber-Castell gelatos. After I stamped my image, I colored the hair with Faber-Castell Stamper's Big Brush pens. I love these as they are permanent once dry but blend a bit when still wet – seriously a must have for mixed media!!! I also used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to adhere my butterfly so it looks as though it is about to fly off the tile. 😉
For this card, I wanted to add some pops of color to my chalk board art so I used Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel pencils – they are SO bright and smooth! (PS. do you want to see how I create these cards?! Please check out my Helmar Live recording at Ustream!)
This is one of my absolutely favorites – this is the cover of my art journal from an old book. I covered it with some pattern paper with Helmar Decoupage & Craft Paste and again used Faber-Castell gelatos to add pops of color. I also used the Faber-Castell Stamper's Big Brush pens for my stamped images. Again, because they dry permanent, it's great for all the layers in mixed media!!
I want to thank Faber-Castell for being so generous with the team – it has been a LOT of fun playing with your products and I'm fan for LIFE! 😀
