Marie Browning taught everyone at CHA how to make these adorable cards at one of our Make and Take booths. She used My Mind’e Eye (Pretty Paper Line) patterned paper and embellishments. Then stamped and colored everything with Tombow Dual Brush Pens one white cardstock.
Last week at CHA Marie Browning taught a great Tombow Specialist Degree Course and the response has been great. Everyone is raving about it which definately makes me wish more people could have experienced this great class! So today We’ll share our handout because there are a few *MUST HAVE TECHNIQUES* in there!! So CLICK on the tombow instructions below and DOWNLAOD it, PRINT it, USE it, and PLAY!

At CHA this week Tombow released a new line of Dual Brush Pens! In the past, our Dual Brush Pens have always set the gold standard for professional art markers. And now they’re even better; they have a new look for the craft market. We have created SIX new and exciting color assortments both in our 6 and 10 pack sets. Not only that, but we’ve also lowered the price on them! That’s a combination that can’t be beat.

The trick to making the colors blend like watercolors is The Blender Pen! First to use the brush side of any coloron any piece of plastic (an old cd, or other non-porous surface) Then using your blender pen you can pick up your chosen ink color to pull the colors into your stamped image. Start shading where you want the color to be the most intense then gradually work in tiny circle to lighter shades. Work in small area at a time and don’t over blend. It’s super easy and the effect is BEAUTIFUL! The Blender Pen comes with any of our 10 piece sets and our 96 color set. Try this technique on your next card or layout. We’d love to see what you come up with! Because it’s CHA, and because we’re excited about this awesome technique, post your project using this technique here or on our Facebook profile before Thursday at midnight and on Friday we’ll choose 1 lucky artist to win a set of 10 dual brush markers from our new line!
