Good morning.  I hope you've been following along this wee as the designers at Cornish Heritage Farms are blog hopping with the  Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft design team. 

Today, I decided to do something different.

Finding some unfinished wood letters, I decided to use  Faber Castell Gelatos as my coloring agent.  I first colored the letter with Cotton Candy.  Using the included paint brush and some water, I painted the color into the letter.  To make the letter darker, I added more Cotton Candy as needed. 

I then added some Guava to the edges of the letter and gently worked the color into the letter with my fingers.  I wanted to create a halo effect around the letter.  Then, using a little water and my fingers, I rubbed Red Cherry along the side edges of the letter.

Using CHF Large Dots Backgrounder, I inked it with Gold Metallic and spritzed it lightly with water.  Since I wanted a distressed effect, I randomly stamped the image all over the letter, adding more Gold Metallic and water to the stamp as needed.

Using watercolor paper, I scribbled Cotton Candy, Guava, Gold Metallic and Lavendar randomly on the paper.  Then, using a paintbrush and water, I colored the entire piece of paper.  I heat set the paper to help the drying process, then I repainted the paper again to get a layered effect.

I created the flower doily by stamping the large floral image from Ornamental Beauty twice onto the paper I just created using black ink.  I then embossed the images with Pearl embossing powder to get a subtle gray color.  I also stamped the interior circular image from the same set using black ink and then embossed it with Pearl embossing powder.  I then added some Gold Metallic and Guava around the edges of the 3 stamped images.

Using the stamp in the  Red Gelatos set, I colored it with the Faber Castell black marker, fussy cut the flower, then added some Cotton Candy and Guava to the cut out image.  I then placed all layers together and added a brad through the center before adhering them to the wood letter with Scraperfect's the Best Glue Ever.

To finish my letter, I die cut LOVE from black and pink cardstock using my Cricut Expression.  I adhered them to the left side, then added some Want2Scrap Rhinestone Swirls on the right side.
