Woo Hoo, it's Friday! I have been looking forward to this weekend as I am heading to the coast with some of my girlfriends for a fun stamping weekend by the sea. Okay, we will probably do a little shopping, eating and laughing too! Never a dull moment with this group!
This week the my Tombow teammates and I are sharing projects with the "Luck of the Irish" theme in honor of St. Paddy's Day tomorrow. You also have the opportunity to win some yummy May Arts ribbon. The details are below.
I created this card using stamps from the Our Craft Lounge Shamrock Blessings set. One of my favorite ways to use Tombow Dual Brush Pens is to color directly on my stamps. For this card I used the following colors: 098 Avocado, 177 Dark Jade, 665 Purple and 676 Royal Purple. I started by coloring the lighter color of marker onto the stamp and then just tapping on a bit of the darker colors. Give the stamp a little "huff" to re-moisten the ink and then stamp onto some cardstock. I then stamped the sentiment right over the top of the image.
Would you like to WIN some amazing May Arts ribbon?
