Stampendous/Tombow Collaboration - Saturday

9/19/2015

Tombow products are my go-to art medium and I'm thrilled we are collaborating with them!  They generously sent us their Recycled Colored Pencils and I'm over the moon with the creaminess and beautiful color of this product!

For today's card, however, I went back to my favorite Tombow product, Dual Brush Tip Markers because I had an idea stuck in my head for this collaboration and I just had to see it through!

There are yummy prizes involved!  Read all the details on the Stampendous blog HERE.  Leaving a comment on each designer's blog (including the pre-Tombow posts), liking Stampendous and Tombow on Facebook and follow @tombowusa, @stampendous on Instagram and Twitter, gets you into the drawing!  Woo hoo!

Okay, ready for my card?

I'm so excited about this Tombow colored card because it was born of an idea and one of those "I wonder if" creative moments.  It began by laying the Fall Borders stencil onto watercolor paper and 'painting' through the stencil with a paint brush and Tombow markers scribbled onto palette paper.  The paint brush was wet, but not loaded with water, and color was picked up with the brush from the scribbled marker on the palette paper.  Less water is better than too much for this process as you want to avoid seepage underneath the stencil.  I had a wadded up paper towel handy just in case I saw too much water and blotted away the excess.

Lots of layers of color were added as I painted the border, but basically, I chose one color at a time and painted all the leaves with one color.  Then I went back with a second color over all the leaves until I eventually ended up with a lovely variety of fall foliage colors!  Once the painted leaves were thoroughly dry, I pasted Translucent paste over the stencil to add some visual dimension.

This is the stencil laying over the watercolor paper and how it looked while I was painting.

Here's the result with the stencil removed!  There is virtually no seepage or bleeding!  The next step was to lay the stencil back over the colored image, paste it with translucent paste, and then allow it to dry.  I'm making assumptions you already know how to paste emboss with Dreamweaver Stencils!

Now that I the border was colored and pasted, it was ready for the background using a resist coloring method.  Knowing that I had pretty much one shot at getting the background color right, I played a bit with my Tombow markers separately by pressing panels of watercolor paper into various color combinations.  I decided that the lighter brown tones would work the best.  After scribbling 2-3 Tombow markers onto palette paper, I generously spritzed the scribbles with water and then pressed my watercolor panel into the watery puddles!  Voila!  TIP:  Use a paint brush to spread color around any missed nooks and crannies as in between the leaves.

I allowed the paper to air dry and then pasted the Dreamweaver Autumn word stencil with Metallic Gold paste to complete the card front.  I loved the result!  The finished card front was hand torn on the right side and mounted to the card base.  May Arts ribbon was tied in a bow as a finishing touch.
