There’s a dozen new colors of Gelatos that Faber-Castell released at Creativation 2019 – the colors are iridescent, named after gem stones and beautiful as ever.

I have loved the first set of Iridescents which were more intense colors and were named after celestial elements. I have only just started using the new set and looking forward to creating projects with them to share with y’all!

Hi everyone, WELCOME to the blog hop! If you are coming from Mae Nazareth’s blog, you are in the right place. I am sharing a tag I created for Tim with his Sizzix dies for Creativation 2019.

Everything I did on this tag can be summed up in the following 4 steps – die-cutting the shapes, painting them and the tag, gluing everything down and doodling to finish.

What I think might be helpful though is the exact list of supplies I used, so here it is with all the details –

Finding a true white pen has been quite the journey for me. I have tried many pens that promised ‘white’ output, but was disappointed to see that they only turned the base color of my paper into a dull pastel. I even tried the Wite-out pen once out of desperation. I have tried Sharpie, Posca and other paint pens with better results. I liked the Signo Uniball and Sakura White Gelly Roll except for when the ink flow wasn’t steady and it was halt and go. I’m hoping that the new set of White Lettering pens that come in a big bold, 1.5 bullet, chisel and brush tips from Faber-Castell will be the answer to my prayers. I have loved them so far. They didn’t dull down. Definitely my favorite from Creativation 2019!

I am teaching a mixed media workshop on 1/19/19 from 3-5 pm at Creativation 2019 in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

I’ll also be doing demonstrations at the Faber-Castell booth from 1/19 – 1/21.

If you are attending, please stop by to say hi! I really love seeing my long time friends as well as meeting in real life those whom I know only from social media or workshop platforms.

I’ll also be sharing photos from the show/event in my newsletter Studio Scoop. If you are not a subscriber yet, sign up here.
