  1. Hi, how easy are the Tombow pens to use? Love the colouring here and that stamp is just so pretty. ☺

    1. Hi Janelle, gotta say that I am extremely impressed with the Tombow markers. I had a cheaper brand set of markers which were okay, but the Tombow’s are so much easier to use and the colour is so vivid. I have already added a few colours to my collection (Eckersleys sell them by the marker) and I will probably get a few more sets… I think I prefer them to the Zigs as they are quite a bit cheaper and more versatile. Hugs Therese

  2. What a beauty, Therese! Your cards are always so pretty and designed so perfectly.

  3. such a lovely card Therese – will have to get my Tombow markers out and give this a try!

  4. Once again, love hearing your voice on these awesome videos. The card is lovely and I was surprised, too, about how much I liked the glass glitter embellishment.

  6. Have been enjoying watching the videos and seeing all the crafty creations on the blog hop. Thanks for the chance for some great prizes.

  18. I love your card and I really like the way you split it and put the glitter paper underneath.

  19. Super pretty card. Love the purple and silver together. The glass glitter looks lovely…just enough bling. I added that and some markers to my growing list on wants.

  20. Ok seriously, that little bit of glitter sparkle takes this card from beautiful to stunning! You are absolutely brilliant.

  21. What a pretty card! I think the strip of glitter paper adds so much to the card – thank you for sharing your project!

  22. Another beautiful card Therese! Your flowers are so pretty and colored perfectly, enjoyed watching your video. You’ve inspired me to try the Tombow brush pens.

  23. Beautiful and creative. I was wondering what kind and size of paint brush do you use?

    1. Hi Harriet,
      The paint brush that I used for this video is a Number 2 round, it’s a good ‘all rounder’ and the one that I have is not expensive as I can’t justify spending dollars on brushes when I can be buying stamps, but this may change lol. Hope you are having a great and maybe crafty day! Hugs Therese

  24. Your card is so beautiful! I really enjoyed watching your video as well, I think the glass glitter really looked fantastic sprinkled all around the flowers.

  25. Such beautiful water coloring… I wish I could get that effect – I’ll just have to keep practicing!

  26. Gorgeous water coloring. I love how you stand this spray of flowers in such a way that it creates beautiful movement.

  27. Very pretty card. Love how you positioned and colored the stamp. Excellent use of the white space and I love the die cut sentiment layering.

  28. Absolutely gorgeous card! I love the flowers, the sentiment and the fabulous coloring! I pinned this one!

  29. Your card is amazing, love the half tone hello die so much I bought it and the stamp set! Love Altenew products.

  31. Beautiful card Therese, just trying to catch up on missed posts. Going to mum and dads puts me so far behind lol. Stunning card and love the whole layout, just stunning. Another stamp set I will need at some stage and that chunky glitter you added at the end, so cool. For some reason captions werent working through ipad today, ahh well got the idea.

  32. Meant to say I like the look of those pens too, so little colour needed for painting and so soft and pretty looking. I have some of these, maybe I should top up.

  33. Therese, I have this lovely stamp (Hello Mom) and it hasn’t seen ink yet! Your card inspires me to rectify that right away – thanks so much!
