Thank you for stopping by,
Here is a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Artwork) rose that was created using the Fudenosuke Pen, Dual Brush Pens, Blending Palette and Foam Tabs.
Look closely at the black lines of the rose. they are varied lines, or lines that go from thin to thick. These are the lines the Fudenosuke Pen creates. With using different pressure, the flexible tip makes these beautiful black, permanent lines that make the drawing that much more interesting.
The shading on the rose was created using the ‘Indirect Blending’ method. The color is placed on the Blending Palette and then picked up with the Colorless Blender, much like picking up paint from a palette using a brush. You then color a section and it magically shades from dark to light. A dark toned Dual Brush Pen is then used to add the tangles, using the fine point.
A square of script is added to a piece of black paper using a silver gel pen. The rose is cut out, then mounted on black paper with Foam Tabs for dimension.
Liking these techniques? Watch in September 2014 for a my NEW BOOK ‘Brush Marker Magic’, from Design Originals Publication! It’s filled with techniques and DoodleDabs using Dual Brush Pens!

The primary focus is to teach craft aficionados how to create works of art that stick by using Tombow’s latest adhesive product, Xtreme. This adhesive is 5 X’s Stronger than our standard tape runner. It works on a variety of hard to glue surfaces such as cardstock, cork, wood, fabric, glass, plastic and rubber. We will also be using #StickyU for all the fun projects!
Our First Sticky U Project was created by Laura Williams!

Welcome to the final day of the Chalk Hop with Fancy Pants Designs and Tombow!
I created some simple packaging using the Burlap & Bouquets Collection and Chalk Tags from Fancy Pants Designs. With Tombow’s adhesives and Irojiten Pencils I added personalized touches and adhered everything together! I thought these would be perfect for summertime hostess gifts filled with packages of spice rubs. (Stay tuned to the entire post and you will find a recipe for my favorite barbeque spice rub!)
I started by removing the backing paper from the Chalk Tags and placing them on cardstock from the collection. Trim the excess paper away. I used the Soft Primary Irojiten Pencils to write on the tags. It’s amazing how the soft colors makes your lettering look great!
The package base was cut from the corrugated paper in the collection and the panels and tags adhered with Xtreme Adhesive for a strong bond. I made the decorative clip by adhering a small piece of cardstock and a decorative button, both from the collection, onto a small clothespin using the Xtreme. I also added a small, strong magnet to the back of the clothespin so the recipient can use it as a photo-holding fridge magnet! One-half of a Fastener Tab holds the package together under the flap and the package of spice rub and instructions adhered to the inside using Xtreme.
As promised, here is the recipe for a Classic Barbecue Rub.
Mix together: 1/4 cup chili pepper flakes, 2 Tablespoons ground Cumin, 1 Tablespoon Oregano, 2 teaspoons Paprika, 2 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper, 2 teaspoons Black Pepper, 2 teaspoons sea salt, 4 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Instructions: This classic all-purpose Barbecue Rub can be used on anything from burgers to fish. Simply rub on the meat 30 minutes before grilling.
Here are the prizes to win! From Fancy Pants Designs: 1 die cut edged Chalk Tape (design may vary from photo), Small Chalk Tags and Large Chalk Tags. From Tombow: Irojiten Soft Primary Pencils, Xtreme Adhesive, Power Tabs, and Foam Tabs.
To be eligible to win these fabulous prizes simply “Like”the Fancy Pants Facebook Page and the Tombow Facebook Page.

Hi and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Fancy Pants Chalk Blog Hop!
Remember to come back tomorrow and check out the posts from this week for the chance to win an awesome prize from both companies.
For this hop I made a Halloween Layout using the Be Different Collection from Fancy Pants Designs. I’ve been looking for a Halloween “light” collection to scrap my photos. My photos are very kid friendly and I didn’t want to use skeletons and spiders so this collection works great!!
To mat the photo and layer it I used Papers, Label Stickers, the Button Set and my favorite the ticket from the Ticket Roll from the Be Different Collection. There is a Small Chalk Tag in the corner that I outlined with Irojiten Color Pencils. To glue all the papers I used the NEW Tombow Xtreme Permanent Adhesive.
I put a Title Piece on top of a Large Chalk Tag that I matted with pattern paper and added some stickers from the Sticker Fundamentals, a star button and some enamel dots. I made the orange enamel dots by putting perler beads on the oven at 325 degrees for 25 minutes and you can’t tell the difference between those and the store bought. To glue them I use the Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue.
I outlined the letters and the photo with the Mono Twin Permanent Marker. The letter stickers are from the What A Wonderful Day Collection.
I wrote the year and my daughter’s name on the button banners using the Sticker Fundamentals. Those alphas are my favorite!
How cool is that ticket from the Ticket Roll. The twine is from The Twinery.

Welcome to the Chalk Hop with Fancy Pants Designs and Tombow! We are showcasing the great chalkboard tags and trims from Fancy Pants and the Soft Primary Irojiten Colored pencils from Tombow!
I covered a sketchbook with cardstock and embellishments from Fancy Pants Me-ology Collection. The collection went great with the chalkboard tags! I used Xtreme for attaching the panels, as this journal will have heavy usage! I used Foam Tabs and Power Tabs to attach the embellishments.
For the small buttons, trim each Power Tab into quarters while still on the backing paper, you only need small piece of these super-sticky tabs to hold heavier embellishments on securely!
For the chalkboard tags and panels I removed the backing paper and placed them on matching cardstock from the collection. Trim around the pieces to remove the excess paper. I used the Soft Primary Irojiten Colored Pencils to add the lettering. For a cool effect, I then shadowed the lettering using a white gel pen. Fancy Pants makes accenting and embellishing so easy by using the matching pieces from the Collection!
I love how the final piece turned out and will have fun filling up the pages with the remaining Meology papers and embellishments and drawing with the Irojiten pencils!
Here’s what you can win from Fancy Pants: Die Cut edged Chalk Tape (tape design may vary from Photo!) , small Chalk Tags, Large Chalk tags AND from Tombow: Irojiten Soft Primary Pencils, Xtreme Adhesive, Power Tabs and Foam Tabs.

Welcome to the Tombow & Fancy Pants Designs Chalk Hop. I rec’d a lovely package from Fancy Pants Designs and the hardest part was deciding what to make with all the lovely goodies they sent!
For my project, I created this Tea Bag Dispenser using this tutorial here. I am a big tea drinker and have been thinking I should make one of these to hold my tea bags.

I used designer papers & burlap bow from FPD’s Burlap & Bouquets Line. The “tea” sticker was created using their Large Chalk Tag and cutting it with one of my Nestibilities Dies and then handwriting “tea” with Tombow’s P14 Straw Yellow Irojiten Colored Pencil from their Soft Primary Pencil Set.
Xtreme Adhesive was used to put the box together and adhere the bow to the top of the box lid.
