Hi! It’s Lisa here and I’m so super thrilled to be up on the blog today. I love finding new things to do with my Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft products.

I started playing around (I know…again!!) with my Gelatos® and I wanted to try to do something new.  Now, a background may not seem like a “new” idea, but it’s really HOW you create it.  I really feel like all the colors in the Gelato® family could be used so beautifully for a background like this.

Here’s my little how-to-guide. Sorry there aren’t more pics. My camera DIED!! I tried my best until I was able to get new batteries. :)
