Start by transferring your favorite feather images from the Mixed Media Transfers - Feathers to watercolor paper using the craft stick included with the transfers. Cut the images out with scissors.

Handletter 'Tread Gently" with the SB Tip PITT pen from the Modern Lettering Set following the curve of the feather. Make marks with the SB PITT pen, Stamper's Big White pen and pencil around the page.

Add some more marks with watercolor pencils. Along the right edge, add the quote - Tread softly. All the earth is holy ground. - Christina Rossetti with watercolor pencil to finish.

Hi everyone, Mou here with a Bible Journaling tutorial using the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Bible Journaling Kit. 

SUPPLIES:

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Bible Journaling Kit

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Textural Accents & Tools - Gel Medium, Glaze, Gesso, Whipped Spackle, Gelatos Tool Kit

Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Collapsible Water Cup

Silicone Spatula (from Honey Medium Starter kit - you can use a brush instead)

Scissors

Watercolor paper (I used 140 lb cold press by Canson, cut to 9x9 inches)

The Bible I have does not have a wide margin, so I make color copies of the verses, trim around with scissors and attach to a wider piece of watercolor paper with Gel Medium. You may not need to do this step if your Bible is designed for journaling.

Apply Gesso around the verse and even layer on parts of the verse that you don't plan to focus on. Let dry.

Add some color to the page using the highlighter Gelatos from the kit. Blend with water.

Lay the stencil Trust His Path on the page and apply Whipped Spackle with a palette knife.

Doodle a frame around your chosen verse with a PITT pen.

Cut out a phrase from the kit with scissors to attach to the page. Add a diecut or sticker to decorate.

Rub some more Gelatos colors on and blend it with a coat of glaze over the whole page. Let dry completely.

Doodle some feathers around the verse with PITT pen.

Handletter the verse near the framed verse and doodle a frame around it with the Metallic Gold PITT pen. Make marks and add more touches of gold all around the page to finish.

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and will find the Bible Journaling Kit very useful in your own art practice!

Hi everyone, Mou here with a tutorial to create your own bullet journal pages using the Journaling Art PITT Artist Pen set from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. The set comes with three fine and brush nib Pitt Artist Pens® in Black, Blue and Green and a Textliner for highlighting along with super cute designer stencils. If you have this set, the only other thing you need is a plain journal or even make one yourself by folding some cardstock. Let me show you how I created my bullet journal page.

Use the XS tip Black PITT pen to trace the stencil shapes to lay the foundation of your page.

Use the S tip blue pen to add the icons.

Write the dates with the B tip green PITT pen.

Fill in your journal entries with the blue pen.

Highlight with the textliner and doodle all around.

The doodling, of course, is totally optional. You may not have the time to do it on every page or you can add only a few doodles to each page. I love to doodle with the black pen to visually represent my journal entries. For example, I'm reading a book called The Unicorn in the Barn which inspired the unicorn on the top right of the page. We have a milestone birthday coming up, so I drew presents, cake, the birthday boy and his dog, the flowers are all that I am seeing whenever I am outside (I live in the Garden State) and so on and so forth.

Whether you have a little time or a lot, or you like it simple or detailed, this Journaling Art set is sure to become a staple in your bullet journaling!

Hi everyone, Mou here with some on-the-go inspiration using the Intro to Watercolor with Gelatos kit!

This nifty kit comes with eight Gelatos colors, a Deluxe waterbrush and a silicone trey palette - everything you need to create on the go. Plus, there's an information booklet to guide you if this is your first time trying out Gelatos for watercoloring. All you need to use this kit are some watercolor papers, pencil and eraser.

Recently, I visited Puerto Rico with my family. I fell in love with the island and filled my sketch book with a lot of drawings and paintings. My favorite site was the Castillo San Cristobal in Old San Juan. Below is a step-by-step of one of my paintings of the fort.

I started my painting with a light pencil sketch on watercolor paper. I use 140 lb cold press paper.

I rubbed Gelatos color Snow Cone generously on the Silicone tray, diluted the pigment with the waterbrush and painted the sky first.

I repeated the same dilution process with the Gelatos colors - Mango, Red Cherry, Black Licorice and Lime to add the first color layer to the fort and ground.

I mixed Lime and Snow Cone with water on the silicone tray to paint the sea.

After determining the light source, I added shadows with another wash of colors.

I used the darker colors to add details to my painting to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this little inspiration/tutorial and are encouraged to take the Intro to Watercolor with Gelatos kit along in your travels!
