Drawing Inspiration From Stampendous and Faber-Castell - Blog Hop Day 2

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the arrival of warm weather! :)

This week our fabulous Stampendous team is playing with the talented peeps over at the Faber-Castell! We're showcasing the Art Grip Aquarelles Watercolor Pencils, the PITT Pastel Pencils, and our very special guest Nathalie Kalbach will be featuring the Gelatos! There will be guest-starring roles by the PITT Artist Pens for doodling and drawing! Wait until you see all the colorful inspiration we have for you this week. We’ll be Blogging in Color!

Three Lucky Winners this week will get three sets of the PITT Pastel Pencils (red/yellow, blue/green, neutrals), a jar of Faber-Castell Chalkboard Paint, and $20 http://www.stampendous.com reward card to choose their favorite images to color! WOW… these winners must have a U.S. mailing address (official rules here!)… BUT WAIT - Aussie Fans – The Stencil Specialist has you covered again this time! One Australian Hopper will win a Stampendous Stamp, a Dreamweaver Stencil (LJ size customer choice), and one Dreamweaver Stencils Regular Embossing Paste. Amazing or what? :)
