Thanks for hopping by! Today the Stampendous and Tombow Design Teams have gotten together for a super fun and colorful Blog Hop featuring some really great products!
The card I'm sharing today is unlike any card I've ever made. It doesn't have any coloring, but thanks to these wonderful Tombow Dual Brush Pens my card has beautiful colors in the background.
First I stamped the Stampendous Rattan Weave stamp on watercolor paper with VersaMark ink and embossed it with Detail White Embossing Powder. Then I scribbled some ink from the purple, blue and green Dual Brush Pens on the Tombow Blending Palette and spritzed it with water using the mister (both the Palette and Mister are included in the Tombow Blending Kit). I dipped the embossed panel into the watered down ink and kept reapplying ink until I got the look I wanted. How fun! The possibilities are endless! The embossed area resists the ink which allows the pattern to show through.
Once the panel was dry, I matted the watercolor panel on black card stock and to the card base using Tombow Xtreme Adhesive. I used the greeting from the Happy Messages stamp set by Stampendous and also heat embossed it with Detail White Embossing Powder.
Adding some Mica Fragments seemed to finish the card. I used Teal Mica Fragments from the Fusion Stack Art Elements Kit and Lavender Mica Fragments from the Sumptuous Stack Art Elements Kit both by Stampendous.
So...are you ready to get hopping? Here's the list of stops - be sure to leave comments along the way to be in the running for some great prizes! If you happen to lose your way, stop by the Stampendous blog for more information.
