A Brand New Start Card with Tombow

 I am sharing my "A Brand New Start" card using the Irojiten Color Pencils.

 To create the background of the card....

Color a piece of white card stock using INROJITEN Color Pencils. 

They are a premium colored pencil crafted with cedar wood and hard, dense lead. 

They are a strong pigment with vibrant pigment with crisp colors when blending colors.

Premium colored pencils crafted with cedar wood and hard, dense lead for precise details and sharp lines. Perfectly centered lead core is adhered throughout the wood casing for break resistant, evenly sharpened lead. Strong pigment for deep color saturation that stays crisp and vibrant when blending and layering. White enamel finish offers a comfortable, fatigue free surface when holding for long periods. Colored pencil eraser cleanly removes colored pencil markings and can be used to create highlights. Set includes 12 colored pencils, sharpener and colored pencil eraser. Available in two pre-sorted color selections – Vivid and Tranquil. - See more at: http://tombowusa.com/craft/pencils/irojiten-adult-coloring-set-tranquil.html#sthash.VF4uqjG0.dpuf

Celebrate with Tombow

 CELEBRATE !!!!

I just became a Tombow Brand Ambassador!!!

 My first package had Tombow Mono Removable Adhesive and Mono Correction Tape in a pretty container.

I created my Celebrate Card using Tombow Mono Removable Tape and Double Sided Adhesive Dots along with Simple Stories Hope Collection. 

I began by first using the Tombow Mono Removable Tape on the backside 

of  pattern paper and doily die cut to determine the placement of my paper pieces. 

BUT OOPS!!!!

I forgot to trim the doily off before I placed in on the front of my card base 

and was glad I had used the Mono Removable Tape. 

That is the fabulous thing about the Tombow Mono Removable Tape 

 it is made for you to be able to place your pieces down and move them around.

Trim the doily....

Apply more Tombow Mono Removable Tape and Double Sided Adhesive Dots 

to the pieces and reset them to the card front.

For the inside of the card...

form a pocket...

Apply Tombow Mono Removable Adhesive Tape to the bottom and two sides

and position inside card to form a gift card pocket. Once decided, 

 remove and add Double Adhesive Dots to pocket and place back inside of card. 

Place gift card inside using Tombow Mono Removable Adhesive Tape.

Die cut flowers from pattern paper. 

Place together using Tombow Double Adhesive Dots to back of flower pieces. 

Stack together. 

Place on card front.

Emboss "Celebrate" to paper. 

Mat together using the Tombow Double Adhesive Dots.

Place "celebrate" to card front using Tombow 3D Foam Tabs.

Die cut leaves, add to front of card using Tombow Double Adhesive Dots.

Add bow to card front using Tombow Double Adhesive Dots.
