Tombow Collaboration--Fun with Pencils and Markers!

Today, we have a blog hop using Tombow products, including a couple of wonderful prizes, so read on for your chance to win.
My project using these products is a Halloween card.

It was very easy to make. All I had to do was stamp my Pumpkin Carving Rubber Stamp with Memento Ink on Mixed Media Paper. These are products that were given to me by Stampendous for being on their design team. Then, I tried out the Tombow Recycled Color Pencils, that I received as a gift from Tombow for participating in the hop this week. I used a light, medium and dark color for each area. This was a very relaxing experience, and the colors blended well. I used a couple of layers to build up thick color. Then, I moved to my Dual Brush Markers. These markers are water based, and I love them so much that I purchased them in most of the available colors. Today, I scribbled the colors 606, 665 and 679 on my Blending Palette. Then, I used my water brush to pick up the colors and paint them onto the background. The build up of colored pencils helped to resist the water in the spots where I accidentally painted over the lines. To create even more texture, I colored over parts of the background with the pencils. Then, I mounted the image on some card stock, and I was done. Here is what those colored pencils look like:

Remember what I said about prizes? There are two packages, which include:

Tombow Recycled Color Pencils 24 pack tin
A roll of Tombow Foam Tape

Create Christmas with Dreamweaver

This week, the Stampendous theme involves a particular stamp set that also has a coordinating die. That stamp is Create Christmas CRS 5080. The die set is DCS 5080. We are taking this week to show you some of the great ways that you can create with this versatile stamp. Of course, I had to use Dreamweaver Stencils!
I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Tombow Recycled Colored Pencils. The background was created by spraying the back of the Snowflakes Stencil DWLJ819 with Memory Mists in Blueberry. While the stencil was still very wet, I ran it through my Cuttlebug with white card stock and my Stamping Details Rubber Embossing Mat. With this technique, you can never get the exact same result twice. This just adds to the beauty, as far as I am concerned. The sentiment is a simple stamping of the Keep Christmas rubber stamp. The snow bank is simply card stock cut by me.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed the project. Please leave a comment, if you have a moment, and stop by to see what everyone else has done with this versatile stamp:
