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.
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


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


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

I hope you enjoyed my creation and
experiment with Tombo's Mono Adhesives.

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.
Fragment Play by Lynne Forsythe
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!
Fragment Fun by Lynne Forsythe
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??!??!
Fragment Fun by Lynne Forsythe
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.
