Stampendous/Dreamweaver - Tombow Fun Thursday

9/17/2015

11 Comments

 
We are really excited for the upcoming hop with Tombow on September 18 – 20th!  There's lots of Tombow mojo so plan on being inspired all week!

I absolutely love my Tombow Dual Brush Markers and use them all the time in many ways.  One of my favorite uses of them is for water coloring.  I simply scribble the brush tip onto palette paper, which becomes my paint palette.  I like using palette paper because it's large size allows me to add several colors and it's white so I get a true visual of each color.  You can use acrylic blocks with a piece of white paper underneath as a good option.

Here's my sweet little card today:

Since it's Dreamweaver Thursday, I chose a favorite stencil, Pine Trees (DWLL570).  I simply laid the stencil on water color paper and traced each tree with a pencil.  I added a sixth tree to fill in the width of the card.  The next step was to use the 'wet-on-wet' water color technique, which is to wet one tree at a time with a paint brush, then add color from the scribbled marker on the palette paper.  I love watching the color bloom and feather!  I added two other shades of greens while the tree was still wet.  Honestly, there's no right or wrong here and the trees look hand drawn, don't they?

Once my trees were painted, I added color to the tree trunks.  Before proceeding to the snow base, I made sure the paper was dry using my heat tool.  The snow was added with the same wet-on-wet technique.  That area was also dried before moving to the green hills behind the trees.  Finally, the sky was added last.

The sentiment was stamped with cocoa archival ink.  Spoonful of Pixie Dust was lightly sprinkled over the card front.  I used my handy dandy pointy straw which worked great for adding tiny amounts.  The snow was heat set from underneath.

The tree panel was mounted on craft foam and then mounted onto another section of watercolor paper as I wanted to keep it understated.
