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.
