It's Friday, you know what that means!!! It's HOP Day! Yay!! The Stampendous Design Team is hopping along with the TombowUSA Design Team and I'm sure there will be plenty of eye candy to soothe your sweet tooth! Remember, we have prizes to give out but you must comment to win a prize! So, you may or may not recall that I received the set of 6 Jewel Dual Brush Pens and a Blending Kit from Tombow. My first project uses five of the colors, 847/Crimson, 636/Imperial Purple, 245/Sap Green, 476/Cyan and 946/Gold Ochre. I didn't use N25/Lamp Black for obvious reasons! Here's my card using the Splash Technique:
Here's what I used to create this project:
Canson® Watercolor Paper
Black Cardstock
Archival Ink™ - Jet Black
Hug Snug® Seam Binding - White
Here's how I created this project:
Trim watercolor paper to fit blending palette
Color blending palette with markers in wide stripes (as shown above)
Spritz blending palette with water
Apply watercolor paper to blending palette and rub paper to make sure it picks up ink evenly
Set wet paper aside to dry (dry paper shown above)
Trim seam binding to desired length
Re-color blending palette and mist
Lay ribbon across palette and rub ribbon to help apply ink
Continue doing sections of ribbon while moving down palette
Set ribbon aside to dry (you can use your heat gun to speed this process up)
Stamp image on dry inked watercolor paper
Trim away excess paper at bottom
Stamp sentiment
Create card base to fit image
Adhere image to to card base
Tie dried ribbon around top of card with a simple knot in front
For my next project, I went back to mixing colors on the blending palette and applying the color using the Indirect Blending Technique to color my image with the blender pen. I really like this technique!
Here's what I used to create this project:
Bazzill® Cardstock in Parakeet and Lava
Making Memories Kids™ Collection - Emma
Canson® Watercolor Paper
Archival Ink™ - Jet Black
Here's what I did to create this project:
Stamp image and color, trim to desired size, set aside to completely dry
Create card base from green cardstock
Trim red-orange cardstock pieces as shown
Trim patterned paper as shown
Stamp sentiment on dry image
Adhere all layers as shown
So that's both of my projects, I hope at least one of them may have inspired you to give this a go yourself. Easy and fun, what more can a girl/guy ask for!? Here's the complete link list, I wouldn't want anyone wandering lost around the Internet, it could be light years before you're found!
