Happy Tuesday, Bloggers! Tricia here from Club Scrap!
My craft room at home is a place I love to be, and I don't get in there as much as I'd like. But last week was Spring Break, and my schedule was a little topsy turvy.
My craft room at home is a place I love to be, and I don't get in there as much as I'd like. But last week was Spring Break, and my schedule was a little topsy turvy.
I carved out a few hours here and there to hang out in my little crafting space and had the chance to play work with the Faber-Castell PITT Big Brush pens. They're nifty because of the ink properties, coordinating colors, and big, fat nibs. Love big fat nibs. Just sayin'.
Here, I use those fabulous markers to create a background and midground, and then paint on a masking stencil included in the Spring Chorus Club Scrap kit for the foreground. This is fun and easy stuff, folks.
Sometimes it's just easier to duck into the studio with my dear pal Kay Williamson and film the process rather than write instructions. I need a break from writing instructions, thank you.
Oh, before I go . . . don't make just one of these at a time. Make a ton. Then, you'll have wonderful art orphans to use on your cards.
So, here 'ya go!

Absolutely FABULOUS! Those colors are gorgeous Tricia. Great collection of cards.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if those pens are or will ever be available in GHM?
Never mind Tricia, just realized that you had linked to them and lo and behold there they are! WOOOHOO!
DeleteCan't wait to get home from work tonight to give this a go round with the masks I already have from CS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I don't have any Pitt pens, but I'm thinking I could do this technique with other markers. Or maybe gelatos. Oh, but what if I scribble the paper with watercolor pencils or crayons?
ReplyDeleteWhere is that UPS man with my kit?
Just wonderful - love this technique. Thank you Tricia
ReplyDeleteAnnetteD

ReplyDeleteSuper fun and easy to do technique, Tricia! Thanks for the video tutorial!

ReplyDeleteSorry about that, Karen. But it is my pleasure to assist you. :)
DeleteFabulous! Haha, just read what Karen said above. I can't wait to play with that fern stencil!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of Marvy Brush Markers which are meant to use on stamps!!! I'm gonna try this technique with those!! Of course, I'm going to have to wait till tomorrow when my kit finally gets here :-(
ReplyDeleteOOOOh, gotta go try this. I pinned the heck outta this one!
ReplyDeletewow pretty
ReplyDeleteLovely!! Thanks Tricia for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTake care and STAY POSITIVE!
Tricia...I love this technique and can't wait to give it a try. I have a question though. I have a box of 24 big brush pens. Can you tell me the color names of the 3 pens you used? Thanks a bunch.
ReplyDeleteHi, Arlene...thanks for reading! I asked Tricia, and she used Cobalt Blue #143, May Green #170, Cobalt Green #156. HTH!
