It's Alanna here, and I am super excited to share my projects with you today.  I had so much fun making them and using some awesome products from Tombow along with lots of fun goodies from Whimsy Stamps.

For my first card, I stamped out one of the super cute owls from the Happy Owlidays Too stamp set. I then colored it with the new ABT PRO alcohol markers that were just released last month from Tombow.  I am loving these markers and was able to get some good blends, as you can see from the photo below.


After my image was colored, I fussy cut the little guy out and then got to work on my background.  I took one of the original Dual Brush Pens from Tombow, which are water-based markers and good for all sorts of techniques, and scribbled some onto my glass surface.  I then added just a bit of water and then painted on my background.  I then took more of the marker and this time with less water, I splattered on some larger flecks of color to add more interest and dimension to the background.

I figured out where the placement of my owl was going to be and then stamped my sentiment, which is from the Happy Owlidays set.

After this panel was dry, I die cut it using one of the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle dies, and I also die cut a piece of aqua card stock using the largest die from that collection.  I popped up the white panel with foam tape along with the cute little owl.

 For my second project today, I used more of the Dual Brush Pens from Tombow to create my background like I did above. I used various shades of blues to achieve the look, making sure to dry my watercolor card stock in between so that the colors would layer on top of each other.

I then stamped, colored and die cut the adorable penguins from the brand new Penguin Farts stamp set. The only coloring I did was to add an orange marker from Tombow to their beaks and feet. The coordinating dies can be found here for this set.

I die cut the new Slimline Windows die from some white card stock and then got to work on assembling my card. The sentiments are from the Penguin Holiday Squares set.
