Tombow + Waffle Flower Blog Hop

Hello!  Today I'm part of the fun Tombow + Waffle Flower Blog Hop!  Nina is the best at partnering up with other great companies and I was so excited when she mentioned Tombow- who doesn't love their products? :)  I know I already have quite a few of their awesome adhesives in my stash- they have been my go-to for so long!

What I hadn't played with before were their awesome Dual Brush Pens.  They are water based markers and were really fun to play with!  I paired them with Waffle Flower's Rain Check Stamp Set and Partly Cloudy Die Set:

The pens are bright and cheery colors.  I decided to do a watercolor technique with them and pulled out some watercolor paper.  I diecut a journaling card shape along with the sun and clouds from watercolor paper.  I colored around the edges with the markers and then moved the color into the center with a water brush.  So easy and so pretty!

Once my watercoloring was dry, I stamped the sentiment from the Rain Check Stamp Set. I also used the Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue to line my clouds with some fun glitter.  Once they were dry, I used some Tombow Mono Adhesive and Foam Tape to adhere it all down to my card front.

Sunshine and Rain Card

Hello!  

How's your day going so far?  Mine is good- and it's Thursday!  The weekend is sooo close! :)  Today I'm sharing a card I made with Waffle Flower Craft's Rain Check Stamp Set.  I was inspired by the latest Waffle Flower Challenge- the colors are so pretty and spring like!

I stamped the rays from the Rain Check Stamp Set onto the purple cardstock with Versamark ink.  Then I splattered it with white mist and set it aside to dry.  I diecut a bit of vellum with the largest circle from Flowers Circle Die Set.  I stamped a few clouds with turquoise ink and diecut them out using the Partly Cloudy Die Set.  I also cut a bit of rainbow striped patterned paper to go along with everything else.

Once the mist was dry, I adhered the purple paper onto the gray cardstock base.  I added the strip of rainbow patterned paper and then stamped my sentiment just below it with black ink.  I added my vellum circle next, tucking a bit of gray string underneath it with the adhesive.  I layered the clouds next, using foam adhesive on the top on to make it pop.  I finished it all off with a few epoxy dots to bring in a bit of green.

The colors are not ones I usually reach for but I do love how it turned out!  Here is the Waffle Flower Challenge inspirational photo- there is still plenty of time to play along!!

Thanks for stopping by here today!  I hope you are enjoying your Thursday as much as I am! :)

Rain or Shine Card for Waffle Flowe Crafts

Hi!  I have another fun card to share today featuring the new Rain Check Stamp Set from Waffle Flower Crafts!  This one is all about the weather- so fun!  Be sure to stop by the Waffle Flower Crafts Blog to see what else is new.  Here is my card:

I love the bold images in the Rain Check Stamp Set.  I stamped the clouds with rain onto a diecut journaling card to start off with.  I diecut the sun from the Partly Cloudy Die Set in orange and yellow cardstock next and adhered them to the journaling card.  I stamped the 'or' between the images so it read rain or shine in pictures :)  I also stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card.

I wanted to keep my card pretty simple so that the bold images would really stand out.  I made a card base of aqua cardstock and cut strips of paper in the same colors I used in the images.  I sewed along each strip  and added them to the bottom of the card front.  I adhered the journaling card to the front using foam adhesive dots for dimension.

The Rain Check Stamp Set has so many possibilities!  There are some fun combinations of sentiments and images- really cute!  Pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog to see what everyone else created along with all the other new goodies!  Such fun ideas!!
