Stampendous and Tombow are Hopping!



Yay!  It's the first official day of the Stampendous and Tombow Blog Hop!!  Have you caught all the hints we've been sharing this week leading up to today?!  We're showcasing the awesome Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils each of the DT members received free!  I've always loved colored pencils and these are no exception.  They blend beautifully; if there's a color you need and don't have, just blend it yourself!  Here's my card for today:


Here's what I used to create this card:

Tombow® Recycled Colored Pencils - I used Brown (31), Gray (34), Deep Green (10), Pink  (22), Orange (26), Vermilion Red (25), Light Blue (13), Green (07), Silver (35), Gold (36)
My Mind's Eye™ Christmas Wish 6x6 Paper Pad
Core'dinations® Cardstock
May Arts Ribbon® - Light Blue Silk
Glue Dots® Adhesives - Craft Dots
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives

Here's what I did to create this card:

Stamp kitten image with black ink and color with colored pencils, trim image
Stamp sentiment with black ink onto colored image
Create A2 card base with a tent fold and lightly distress edges
Trim patterned paper 1/4" smaller than card base size for background 
Create a mat from scrap base cardstock, lightly distress edges and adhere image to mat
Tie bow and adhere to patterned paper as shown, use glue dot to secure center of bow to paper
Adhere all layers

Here's a list of my teammates that are hopping today:
