Today, <a href=\"http:\/\/meihsia.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meihsia Liu<\/a> is here to share the design of an art journal cover using Faber-Castell Gelatos and Stamper&#8217;s Big Brush Pens.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been enjoying creating using Faber-Castell products for years and loving the gorgeous effects they achieve. So, here are some fun techniques and steps to make this project using my stamping all-stars.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5457\/9484391543_0941067b2d_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Cut a piece of patterned paper from Graphic 45 A Lady&#8217;s Diary collection and paste it on the chipboard cover using Gel Medium.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7436\/9482758518_68d960b679_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Spread some Light Modeling Paste around the edges using Palette Knife.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3798\/9479967453_4abe62fdcb_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After making some patterns using Light Modeling Paste, Heidi Swapp stencil and Palette Knife, dry it with a heat tool. Mix the Gelatos and water in a small container. Apply the color mixture on the edges of the cover using a brush pen. I usually use this method to color a big area on a project.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3807\/9482758268_25792f66c4_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You may also mix the Gelatos and water on the craft sheet using a brush pen to paint a small area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5543\/9482758170_9d5b6db6c4_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Gelatos can be also applied directly on the project and use a wet brush pen to achieve the water color effect. Here I use the Gelatos to highlight the edges.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7452\/9479967181_2bc2dc929d_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Apply the Gelatos on the stamp, mist with water using misting bottle, then stamp the images on the cover.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7452\/9479967133_50519e9ebf_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You may also use Stamper&#8217;s Big Brush Pens\/ PITT artist pens as an ink to stamp the image. Here I use a PITT artist pen in black to stamp the sentiment and some small images.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7431\/9482757840_1da3174c1a_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Use Stamper&#8217;s Big Brush Pens in various colors to stamp more images on the background.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3810\/9479966949_221af5b836_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Blending Chisel is perfect to make the distressed look after I applied the Gelatos to highlight the edges.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3697\/9482757994_10119e2c78_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Use Drip Dropper to drip the color mixture on the background and tilt it to let the mixture run.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5451\/9482757630_d091063f36_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After attaching Prima Flowers and 7 Gypsies Industrial Gears using a hot glue gun, add some Gesso randomly on these embellishments and background using a brush pen as a final touch.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.staticflickr.com\/3701\/9482757590_c0d8b356f2_z.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2858\/9482757388_14d404b22a_c.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"896\" \/><br \/>\nI hope you enjoy this tutorial and will create something beautiful using these fun techniques and awesome products.
