Happy Monday!!


In August  we have  a ton of birthdays in our family, in fact there are three of us that I share my birthday with.  Anyway, I have no idea who will be getting this card yet, but for sure I will be using it.

I used the PTI Asian fusion stamp from PTI, one of the first ones I purchased from them and one of my favorite go to for a quick message.

I also used a TH texture fades embossing folder to get the texture on the vase. There you have it that's my card today.

Have a blessed day, Diana

"100 Days of Tombow"

CLICK HERE for the DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY SEPTEMBER LINKY CHALLENGE ends September 30
CLICK HERE for the DL.ART THANKFUL #118 Pens & Scraps  CHALLENGE ends October 8

Good morning friends,

I have some exciting news, I am participating in the "100 Days of Tombow". This is Tombow's centennial year and by my participation they will donate $100 to the Council of Arts Education, a national non profit dedicated to promoting and supporting art education and quality art programs nationwide  Their goal is to raise $10,000 for this cause.

Last week I received these products. TOMBOW Irojiten color pencils in Rainforest Volume 1- pale tone 1

I also received , the Tombow dual brush set "GROOVY" collection - I love the colors - it comes with brown, green, orange, yellow, blue and red


I used every single color out of both packs, for this project

For the first girl I used. Narcissus P-3, for the crown. For the skirt I used coral and P-2) Aqua (P7) for the outline,
for the bodice and shoes  I used lilac P-9. For the hair I used pigeon gray and a little bit of forget-me-not (P-4)
For the skin I used every color in the set. I was trying to get a dark skin tone, it worked! the skin came out tan looking.

For this gal I was going for the mono tone look but at the end, I decided to add the red on the bow, with the dual tip pens and the dots are made with the green dual tip pen

For this gal, I was going for a party girl look that is why I did the fishnet stockings. I love the orange and blue together. I think she came out pretty good. She will probably have a lot of fun at the party. What do you think? party girl?


Now, for more more fun :

 
 The background was so much fun to do. The images are from the Silhouette online store, Hexagon and flower. I gave it dimension using  paste mixed with ink

My girl image is from Julie Nutting, They all like thier outfits.

I used the dual pen brush end to ink up the stamp, for my sentiment. The card stock & stamps (Asian Fusion) are from PTI-Card Stock- plum pudding, simply chartreuse, and lavender moon Asian Fusion and my twine is from The Twinery. I also added a mini jeweled red, green and blued AC elements brad to the top of each tag.

Good Monday Morning,

This past week I spent doing spring cleaning and I still have a bit more to go. How does one accumulate so much stuff?  Anyway we all know don't we? And why?

My older sister called me the other day just to say some real sweet things and I thought it would be nice to follow up our conversation with a note thanking her how much it meant that she felt that way.  If she says she likes the card then I can make her a set for her upcoming B-day-- I might just do it anyway.

I made myself a monogrammed  note card the circles are scraps from the card I made last night, the little flowers are from PTI Asian fusion,The alphabet letter is from Cricut cartridge American Alphabet cut at 2".

Easy peasy.

Have a blessed day, Diana
