Scribbly Bird Card - Xyron and Faber-Castell

Hello blogging friends!

I spent my weekend playing with my Xyron adhesives and some Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell Gelatos at a crop with some friends. Oh my, what fun these are to play with! Take a look at a card I created using a Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds stamp set.

It's a simple card, but I really wanted the bird to take center stage so I left the background white. If you have never tried Gelatos before, don't be intimidated. They are super easy to use. Let me show you ...

Supplies:
Xyron 3" Sticker Maker
Xyron 3/16 Adhesive Dots
Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell Gelatos
Bazzill Smooth White Cardstock
Gesso
Black Embossing Powder
Versamark Ink
StazOn Ink
Heat Tool
Twine
Dina Wakley Scribbly Birds stamp set

Step 1. Prep your paper by applying a layer of Gesso. When it is dry, stamp your image and or sentiment with Versamark ink. Emboss using a black embossing powder.

 Step 2. Choose your Gelato colors and apply to paper. Blend with a piece of foam or a sponge. I blended mine dry, but you could use a little water if you like.

I fussy cut this guy out, but you could also color the entire background. Like this...

Step 3.  Since I was at a crop, I brought along this handy Xyron 3" Sticker Maker. I love that I can still take my Xyron adhesives with me and pack light. I just popped my bird through.

Step 4. I stamped a sentiment on a plain white cardbase with StazOn Ink and adhered my bird next to it.

 Step 5. Tie some twine around the top of the card. You can make sure the bow stays put with a little Xyron adhesive dot.

I just love how this card turned out. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Be sure to watch for more Xyron and Design Memory Craft projects all week long.
