Hello Blogosphere! Happy Monday!

Sorry about all the posts today, but I have SO much awesomeness to share with you today!

Today, the Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® Design Team has teamed up with the folks from Composi Mold! This was my first time creating a mold of ANY kind!

I used my last flower embellishment from Prima (below, green) to create my mold & then used Whipped Spackle in the mold to create my own replicas! Here are some steps to create your own Mini Banner using the NEW Mixed Media with Gelatos® Kit!

Photo Tutorial:

1. Mix Glaze with Gelatos®, paint over Whipped Spackle flowers, allow to dry. Adhere flower to finished project with Gel Medium. The green flower was used to create the mold!

2. Use remaining Glaze/Gelatos® mixture to cover the Acetate. Allow to Dry & then add Glass Bead Gel through a stencil. Allow to dry (my pictures show the product partially dry-the glass bead gel dries clear).

3. Prime the grey board with Gesso, dry, and then color with Gelatos blended with a wet brush. Stamp background with Stamper’s Big Brush Pens & then adhere torn tissue paper with Gel Medium. Allow to dry.

4. The wood board is SO much fun! Simply add remaining Whipped Spackle through a stencil & allow to dry!

So what do you think?! Does that look like something you’d like to try!!!? Once I figured out how to make my embellishments with the Composi Mold, it was FUN! I won’t mention how many times I messed up……I lost count!

Happy Monday,

Today, we’re highlighting the Lawn Cuts dies for older stamp sets! I used Plus One & the Plus One Lawn Cuts Dies for my layout I had a ton of fun paper-piecing the images & using pops of gold!

The layout features a photo the night before I went into the hospital to give birth to my youngest! The other two photos were instagrammed right after I gave birth <3

Hope you’ll check out the rest of the Design Team!
