I love these! They glide on like lipstick and can be used both as a wet or dry medium. The colours are vibrant and work on a variety of surfaces like paper, canvas and even wood.

2. Paper Crafter Crayons
These highly-pigmented wax crayons are awesome for creating wax resist effects. Or just to serve as a barrier to prevent colours from bleeding into each other when playing a variety of mixed media products. Melt them with a heat gun and you can get really cool wax drippings.

These lightfast India ink pens are great for stamping and colouring chipboard. I especially lovelovelove the white pen. I use it a lot to cover up my "mistakes". And to stamp on dark backgrounds.

These pencils are easy to colour with and the colours intensify once you add water for awesome watercolour effects. Love that they are waterproof once they are dry, allowing you to add layers and layers of colour to create depth and richness to your projects.

ReplyDeleteThis is awsome and so nice of you to do and your photos of your paper projects here is lovely and colourful. I have never tried any of these product, living in a small village in the middel of England and nearest scrap shop about an hour away, but have seen you using them on your paper projects here on your blog and they all look fab, especially the Gelatos. Thanks for giving one of us the chanse to give these products a try. Happy scrappy weekend :))))
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - what a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI'm Mar and I live in Cape Town, South Africa with my hubby, two young Border Collies and three aging-gracefully lady pet rats. We bought our first house last year and I've been trying my darnest to make this house our home. I play in my craftroom most days and recently decided to record my shenanigans on a blog. I make and sell paper craft goods at local craft markets and the hobby pays for itself this way. We are going from Summer to Autumn on this end and today we have a beautiful sunshine day after a heavy week of rain. Perfect for my brother-in-law's 30th later today :)
This is an awesome giveaway!! I've recently become obsessed with crafting...I have the Faber-castell watercolor pencils and love them as they are awesome for the price they come at!! I live in India and love trying new techniques and ideas!! Thanks so much for the chance to win :) I am totally inspired by your work!

Gelatos,this is the word i have been listening recently and I fell in love after watching wonderful videos and following faber castell's blog, so versatile.thanks for the lovely comments on my blog. I am from India residing in Switzerland and only last may got a chance to learn quilling here from a wonderful lady who changed my life ,yes definitely because i never was in to crafts and only after learning from her i came into this craft world and enjoying every day with all the videos related to it. thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteHi Dear...Hows you? We are good, getting used to Sydney!
ReplyDeleteEver since I saw how wonderfully you used the faber castell gelatos, also saw some videos at the faber castel site.....i so wanna have them..could not find them at the art and craft shops here..what a lovely chance you gave to have a set of my own..so here comes my last minute entry!!!
Hi Yvonne.Your work is so inspiring, to be able to create BG in mixed media is a dream. A crafter from India, thanks for a chance to win these goodies.
ReplyDeleteI definitely "need" more gelatos.. you, my friend, already know that I reside in the fabulous land of California (but my recent trip to NZ reminded me how much I loved living there). I like Faber Castelle on my card FB page.
ReplyDeleteoooh.This giveaway is so yummy.I so want to try gelatos and other products from FaberCastell.We don't get them easily in our neck of the woods which is India.About me,I am a fairly new entrant to the world of paper crafting and I love to try most things,but if I had to choose,I would pick mixed media and altered stuff as my favs.Cards and scapbooking,no so much since I pretty much suck at those.:-).Thanks for the chance to win.
