Coloring time with Tombow


Happy Monday everyone! This coming weekend there will be a color splash weekend as my Stampendous teamies and I hop along with TombowUSA's design team. We can't wait to play along so we are having a little fun until it arrives!

Today my card is super quick.


 I've wanting to watercolor this Snowflake Sky Rubber Stamp and Christmastide Rubber Stamp stamp together because they are just meant to go together in my book. There are some other fantastic sentiment that would do just as nicely though. Check them out here on the Stampendous website.

 I said this was going to easy and it is, let's see just how I made it. After that you can hop on over to the Stampendous blog to get started from the beginning (if you are just now joining us) or hop on to teammie Alison Heikkila for some inspiration.

Supplies:

Stampendous:
R234 Snowflake Sky Rubber Stamp
M327 Christmastide Rubber Stamp

  1. Stamp Snowflake Sky Rubber Stamp in black onto watercolor. Let dry.
  2. Stamp Christmastide sentiment in black onto mixed media paper. Let dry.
  3. Randomly color a non stick craft mat or plastic sheet protector (anything nonporous) with Tombow brush pens.
  4. Spray lightly with water bottle and then press Snowflake Sky onto watercolor paper. Let dry.
  5. Randomly draw with VersaMarker pen in dots on and around small snowflakes.
  6. Sprinkle Sparkle Puff over dots and tap off excess before heat embossing.

    Love the beautiful simplicity of this card. Would be a great design for mass producing. The fluid water colored background is subtle and works perfectly with the snowflakes!

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
