Hoppin' into Spring with Tombow.....

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Die-Namites Blog Hop! 

You probably got here from Latrice Murphy’s blog
but if you stumbled across my blog go the Tombow USA Blog to start! 

Here is my creation....

I am going to tell you....
this was my first time playing with Tombow's Liquid Adhesive!

AND I LIKED THEM!!

I began by painting a 5 x 7 Art Canvas with Perfect Paints.

I then applied Tombow's MONO Multi Liquid Glue

through the Crafter's Workshop's ~ Tattting Stencil

with a sponge, applied some Vintage Glitter Glass

OH THE LOVE!!!

HOW PRETTY!!

With my background complete, I let the DIE~CUTTING begin!!

Using Die~Namites Dies and CCB Kraft Paper, I cut several

Knobby Branch

and Die~Namites Dies ~ Small Ivy and CCB Tweed ~ White,

I cut (3)...

Lastly, I die~cut (1) Die~Namites Dies ~ Summer Branch

from CCB Linen ~ White

Do you see the super cute white flowers??

They were created by cutting many layers of CCB TissueStock

with Die~Namites Dies ~ Daisy Branch

and applying a dab of Tombow's Mono ~ Multi Liquid Glue

to hold the layers together. Using a fan brush, I applied more

Mono ~ Multi Liquid Glue to the edges of my newly made flowers

and sprinkled on a bit of Vintage Glitter Glass.

I loved the look SOOO much I repeated the process

on the Petaloo Botanica Bloom.

I adhered all my pieces parts to the background

using MONO Aqua Liquid Glue.

I hope you enjoyed my creation and

experiment with Tombo's Mono Adhesives.

The Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive, NEW Tombow Foam Tape,

Watering Can Creations!

Hi PEEPS!!
I wanted to share with you two pieces I created
for the Canvas Corp Brands CHA booth
using the "Watering Can" Collection.....soooo ME!

I began by folding over, approx 2.5", the top of
(5) Canvas Corp Brands ~ Diamond Burlap Shape
and using a Tiny Attacher, stapled it near the point.

Using Spellbinders ~ Spiral Blossom One, I die cut (5) flowers from
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Bikes and Baskets on Ivory paper.

I then applied Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Cranberry Zing
to the edges of my flower,
followed by spraying the entire flower with
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Cadillac Pink.

I die cut DieNamites Dies ~ Large Ivy and Summer Branch
from Canvas Corp Brands ~ Green on Ivory and Yellow on Ivory paper.

I compiled my banner shape and accented with
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Garden Sayings on Ivory.
I then threaded Canvas Corp Brands ~ Fringe through the banner shapes
to complete my banner.

Here are a few close up of my project.

My second project!

I began my project with an 8 x 8 Shadow Box.
I cut a piece of Canvas Corp Brands ~ Bikes and Baskets on Ivory
to fit in the Shadow Box.
I then applied an image from Garden Sayings on Ivory
onto a 4"x4" Stretched Canvas.

I then pulled out some of my BRIGHT AND CHEERY
Canvas Corp Brands papers to create my floral array!

I then diecut various floral shapes to create my flowers
along with a bit of ivy!

I hope you've enjoyed my Creations!!
Hope you have a CREATIVE DAY!!!

When you KNOW.....

HAPPY Monday Petaloo Fans....
I am honored to lead off the
Petaloo/Marion Smith Blog Hop.

I have to tell you....my hat goes off
to Cheryl Cohen for putting together
such an AMAZING DT box for me
BEAUTIFUL PETALOO Botanica Blooms...
and Marion Smith's ~ Timekeeper Collection.

Do you agree with me?
For my project I went BIG!
An 11 x 14 Canvas!

I just love this color combo of....
Peach, Brown, Teal and Yellow Botanica Blooms
with a bit of Velvet Hydrangeas mixed in!!

The background of my canvas is
Marion Smiths ~ Antique Emporium.
JUST GORGEOUS paper. I then stenciled
over the paper with Perfect Paints Texture Mediums
through The Crafter's Workshop Stencils.

Check out How to Create With Marion Smith and Perfect Paints

The Botanica Floral Ephemera is the PERFECT
addition to my super sized floral cluster.

 

Hope you've enjoyed my canvas!!

Fragment Fun!!

I LOVE trying new things!!
I'm not very familiar with Fragments,
so I thought I would pull out a few
and try various techniques.......

I began by taping down the
3 Fragments I had chosen
TCW2069 Bokeh Fragment
TCW2072 Easter Egg Fragment
TCW2056 Scribbled Rose
to my work surface overtop my tag.

For my first tag I applied a layer of
Perfect Paints ~ Polishing Plaster Texture Medium ~ Organic Sugar
through my Fragments.
I then smeared Gelatos all over the dried tag
and blended the color with water.
I liked how this tag came out!

I couldn't wait to move onto my next tag.
I once again taped down my fragments.
This time I placed puddles of
Perfect Paints ~ Shimmering Matte Acrylic
on my craft mat and applied it over
the fragments with a stencil sponge.
I lifted up the fragments to reveal
this FABULOUS tag!!!

For my last tag, I chose to color the tag first
with various Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist.
I then taped down my fragments and applied
Perfect Paints ~ Shimmering Matt Acrylic ~ Shadow
over my fragments with a stencil sponge.
Now how COOL is that??!??!

I hope you enjoyed my creative journey....
now what will I try next???

In case you are wondering....
this is what I did with 2 of the tags.
