Time for Tombow!

And a Toadal Makeover!  This week has been all about Stampendous® Stamps and TombowUSA and lots of wonderful creations designed to inspire you!  I love it when the Stampendous Design Team does a blog collaboration with a fantastic company like TombowUSA; it's just so much fun!  Of course, as you can see, there are prizes to win, too!  However, if you want to win a prize, you have to comment on our blogs, the more blogs you leave comments on, the better your chance of winning!  Pretty darn simple, right!?  So, without further ado, here's my project for today:

  

These were the colors I received, the Jewel set of 6!  I also received one of their new Blending Kits, which includes the Blending Palette I've shown you here, a Blender Pen and a Compact Spray Mister.    I wanted to show you my blending palette with colors still mixed on it so you could get an idea of how easy it is to get the color you need even from the Jewel set of 6 markers.  There's a super cute coloring chart for all the House-Mouse mice that can be found here, however, since I wasn't sent any of those colors, I had to mix my own! By combining purple and golden yellow, I was able to get my brown for the mouse fur, combining the golden yellow and red gave me the peachy tones I needed for his skin.  As you can see here, I mixed a few other colors, too, I wouldn't want you to think you are limited to just these six colors.  I used the Indirect Blending technique for this card.

Here's what I used to create this project:

Stampendous® HMM04 Toadal Makeover
Tombow Dual Brush Pens - Jewel
Tombow Blender Kit
Archival Ink™ - Jet Black
Bazzill® - Ruby Slipper
Canson® Watercolor Paper
Bo Bunny® Mistletoe 6x6 Paper Pad (Wonky Squares)
Crate Paper® Party Day 6x6 Paper Pad (Stars)
May Arts Ribbon®
Mono Adhesive Power Bond
Foam Mounting Squares

Here's how I created this project:

Stamp image and color; trim to desired size
Create card base and image mat from Bazzill
Trim patterned papers as shown
Adhere patterned papers and attach ribbon as shown
Adhere patterned papers with ribbon to card base as shown
Adhere image to mat and attach to card base with foam mounting squares

This was a very easy card to create and I have to tell you, I really enjoyed mixing my colors and applying them with the Blender.  I know my colors are a little Christmas-y but when you have a green toad and red lipstick, you just have to go with what looks good, no matter what the season may be!

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to comment if you wish to be entered to win a prize.  Don't forget that tomorrow is the BIG HOP!!  You don't want to miss it and I'll have two projects to share tomorrow!  Have a blessed day and I'll see you again soon!

Hugs,
