Color Your World! Sweet Style!

Yippee it's another fun day with...


If you didn't stop by the blog 
yesterday .... here's a little recap 
of one of our favorite companies, Tombow~

You might know them from some of these
amazing products.... 


Glue!! I love this liquid glue... 
I literally use it for EVERYTHING! 


Of course, their water-based markers
were some of my first and I still love using 
them to color straight on my stamps... more 
on these fun markers coming this week! 


And of course, their runners are super 
quality too! (even compared to my beloved
ATG... these Tombow runners are so versatile and easy 
to take on the go... my ATG is a little bulky lol) 


They carry lots of other fun stuff... BUT
today I'm showing off the pretty markers!!

I'm using 'Old School Rock' 


An oldie but a goodie!! 

So I broke out some of the markers 
and stamped the tape on some white cardstock

I started by outlining in blue... 


Then I grabbed the lighter blue and 
the blender and created some shadow... 
(excuse the blurry photo!) 


Then I wanted to make the outside green... 
So, I grabbed the green and my watercolor 
brush! I love that these markers are basically 
watercolor markers!! It's such a cool effect...


Then to add some depth I added some 
grey with my watercolor brush! 

(this time I put some color on my clear block 
so I could pick up the color with the watercolor brush... 
it's a much lighter effect... I loved it!!) 


Then I added a couple extra poppies to it 
and called it a day... (with some ribbon of course!) 


Fast, easy, and FUN card!! 

Check out 'Old School Rock' in the shop... 



Of course what would be a 
partnership with a COOL company 
without a little give-a-way... 

Post comments on this blog and
