All week long Whimsy Stamps and Tombow will be joining forces to bring you some amazing inspiration combining products from these great companies! Be sure to visit both companies’ blogs each day this week to see all of the incredible projects the designers have created AND to enter the giveaways!
I decided to change things up a bit and make an all seasons type of card. I used the Tombow Tropical Dual Brush Pen Art Markers to color these beautiful flowers from the Beaucoup Bouquet Clear Stamps Set. I love the bold and vibrant coverage that these markers provide. I heat embossed my images with Fine Detail Black Embossing Powder onto a sheet of Ranger White Watercolor Paper. I used a watercolor brush to move around my ink to add some subtle shading.
I then cut my images and set them aside to work on my background. For my background, I blended some aqua watercolor with a large paintbrush. I splattered this blend with some diluted Opaque White Paint as well as some diluted green watercolor paint for added interest.
Next, I heat embossed my sentiment from the Bunny Balloons 2 Clear Stamps Set onto a sheet of Black Card Stock. Once set, I then used a paper trimmer to trim this piece down to size. I added my flowers to the front of my card with some liquid adhesive to those that were in the background, and used 3D Foam Adhesive Squares for the ones that I wanted to pop up slightly in the foreground.
