All this week we are doing blasts from the past here on the Tombow USA. I got the 1970s so I decided to make a card inspired by a jacket my dad had in the 1970s. I used Tombow Dual Brush Pens to color and stencil a fun 70’s inspired background on this card:
One of the things I remember most about the 1970s is the brown and orange color scheme and the use of gradients or ombre effects. I decided to replicate both of these on this card using only Tombow Dual Brush Pens and stencils. Here’s how:
You can make multiples of these cards by changing the color scheme. I chose to stencil “75” on this card because I plan to give this birthday card to someone born in 1975. So very 1970s! Ha!
Supplies:
- Tombow Dual Brush Pens
- White Cardstock Card Base
- Stencils – ArtistCellar and Stencil1
