Get Gilded with Graphic 45 and Faber Castell

I'm lucky enough to get to partner with Faber Castell and Graphic 45 for a Blog Hop they are putting together, and this is the project I created using the two. 

The collection is from Graphic 45, Gilded Lily and it's just plume regal.  I created the flowers using various Faber Castell goodies including some of their Gelatos.  I have to tell you, I'm hooked on the Gelatos now, LOL. 

I created a simple step by step tutorial to show you how you can make some of these beautiful flowers yourself.

Fun with Gelatos

I've had some Gelatos for a while but haven't had a chance to play with them to much, but I did on this card...and boy did I have fun.  I just kept playing with the colors letting them drip and run and then adding more.  I adore the way the background turned out.  Then to really make it sing I added the stamped Hampton Art images that were then heat embossed with black.  It really made a stunning card.
