May Arts:: Faber Castell

 **Please scroll down to see my post regarding the first
Lil' Inker Designs Monthly Meet Up Challenge!!**

 

May Arts Ribbon has teamed up with Faber Castell for a week long inspirational blog hop! I have a few projects to show you, as products from these two companies work so well together! My first card features a textured panel. I created this panel by blending a few of the Faber Castell Tropical Gelatos together with Faber Castell's Whipped Spackle. I then laid some May Arts Burlap Ribbon in 2.5" width (398 series) over the panel and pressed the spackle into the grooves, and after a bit of drying time, carefully lifted the ribbon off the paper-leaving a lovely, weaved texture. Before attaching the panel to the card, I die cut a greeting from Spellbinders Die-D-Lites. I finished the card with a luscious bow of 1.25' May Arts Silk Ribbon in Robin's Egg Blue (SK98) and 1/4" Silk Ribbon in Yellow (SK27).

My second card features a die-cut butterfly made from May Arts  2.5" White Elastic Lace (490-25-01) colored with Tropical Gelatos. The Whipped Spackle made the lace taught enough to run through a die cutting machine! I made an antennae with May Arts 1/8" Black Silk Ribbon (SK10) and adhered it to the card that had been embellished with the same lace and another die-cut greeting. from Spellbinders.

My final project features a textured pattern tag made from May Arts  2.5" White Elastic Lace (490-25-01) and the Whipped Spackle that has been tinted with Tropical Gelatos and die-cut with a Lil' Inkers Design tag. I added a die-cut heart from Lil' Inker Designs before finishing the tag with a Spellbinders die-cut sentiment and a bow from May Arts 1.25" Silk Ribbon in Fushia (SK22) and Grape Burlap String (SM-36).
 
Of course, there is a giveaway as well! A $50 prize pack consisting of Faber Castell goodies and 3 rolls of May Arts Ribbon!  More details are on the May Arts Blog.
