occasionally i get an assignment that stumps me….
you’ve seen them before, but this one has got my head going in so many different directions and no where really at all.
How do you Tombow? with TEXTURE!
what is texture? i actually looked it up on dictionary.com

even more daunting than before. well in my effort to make this a no-brainer and just go with the flow i realized that i have worked with more textures than i had realized, but still didn’t have a project idea to go with.
one thing i do love about my favorite tombow adhesive – the dots adhesive runner – is that it gets into the little grooves on textured cardstocks. i use cardstock alot. my main staple for crafting. and i love the textures that are available, especially the ones from bazzill. when i use my dots adhesive runner on these textures i feel like i am getting a good strong bond, as the dots fit into the grooves of the textures on the paper.
here is one of my favorite scrapbook pages – texture cardstock and dots adhesive runner used!
tombow adhesives are great for adding texture to a page. there are different kinds of adhesives for different textures. the glue pen is wonderul for adding glitter, crushed velvet flock, and heat embossing with. mono aqua is wonderful with heavier embellishments, the mono metal is great for – you guessed it, metal. and mono multi is great for layering papers and chipboards.
so, now that i understand it better i think i need to go through my stash of extra stuff and come up with a game plan for adding more texture to my scrapbooking.
what kind of texture projects have you done? send me some inspiration!
I’m a big fan of embossing personal words and designs. Raised stickers, bits of wire, and more are fun too!
