Cheryl Boglioli here for my last post as a Guest Designer for Design Memory Craft. I have truly enjoyed the opportunity to work with Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell products and then share my projects here with you.
For my last Guest Designer post, I wanted to play with as many-colored markers as I could and I wanted to create a quote to put on my desk. This is what I came up with and it reads, “Life is not a straight line. Make your mark in color. Embrace the ink splatters. Leave the Eraser behind”. It’s my own original quote with a little input from my dear hubby.
I started with a 5×7 frame with a mat for a 3.5 x 5.5 opening. I cut a piece of watercolor paper to 5×7 and sketched the inside frame marks and my quote in pencil.
I pulled out all of my Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell Stamper’s Big Brush Pens and PITT Artist Pens in a variety of colors to color in and doodle the quote. A white vinyl eraser did erase all the pencil lines. And yes, I used an eraser, even though my quote says to leave it behind. I hope you enjoyed my projects. Thank you all for your comments and a huge THANK YOU to Design Memory Craft. I look forward to working with you again in the future and I will continue to work with your products in my studio.
Love the COLORS!!!! Somehow your blog had dropped off my google reader….hmmm? But I’m adding you back in so I can keep track of all the wonderful things you have going on!
Thank you, Martha. And thank you for adding me back to your Google Reader!
Cheryl, I love the quote! You’ve also given me a look into the Faber Castell line that I!ve just been walking by — up until now! Think I’ll give them a try. Thanks for the inspiration.
I’m so glad you liked it, Donna! I’m also glad I sparked your interest in the Faber-Castell products. They are so versatile and fun to play with- and they would work great to color on a Craft-Dee Bowz tool!
Love the frame. Your word art is so colorful and love the composition of it. TFS
Hey Pam! Thank you so much for the sweet comments. How have you been? OT, but I am looking forward to participating in the tag swap now.
Greate quote and I love the use of color! Obviously I will continue to follow your work here on your personal blog, but I will miss you creating for Faber-Castell and hope you will be back at some point. You always create beautiful things and I gain so much inspiration from you.
Thank you for such a sweet comment and for continuing to follow my work, Maureen. I will continue creating with Design Memory Craft Faber-Castell products, and I too hope I’m back there again some day.
nice tin:):)
I thought so too! Thank you for sharing your found treasure tin with me.
I love It!!! What a great reminder to have around. I know I doubt myself sometimes.
Love the Faber Castell colors, aren’t they great?
Thanks for sharing
It was fun to just play with the different colors all on one project. I think we all doubt ourselves more than we let on, Dawn, but we should STOP doubting our work and our potential, while maintaining humility. You are an amazing artist and an amazing person, Dawn.
