Tombow Hops with Taylored Expressions

This week Tombow is hopping with Taylored Expressions. If you came from Taylored Expressions, you are in the right spot on the hop. If not, be sure to start there so as not to miss out on any of the hopping fun!

For my project, I used 2 stamp sets from Taylored Expressions: A Bushel & A Peck (pumpkins) and Spooky Wreath (spider/web & sentiment).

I am loving how this banner turned out. I used dies for the banner and rosettes and Cutting Cafe's "B" from Boo Word Shaped Card Set.

I used Tombow's Mono Multi Liquid Glue, Power Tabs, Mono Adhesive Dots, and Mono Glue Stick, as well as Irojiten Color Pencils and Dual Brush Pens for my banner. To get a bolder color for the pumpkins, I colored them first with Dual Brush Pen #933 for the pumpkin and #027 for the stem and then colored over that with Irojiten Pencils Tangerine-Orange and Cherry Red for the pumpkins and Chestnut Brown for the stem.

Here is a close-up of the "B" where I stamped the spider wreath on the orange designer paper.

Thank you Taylored Expressions for hopping with us! Now it's time to head to Shannon White's blog to see the lovely she created for this hop.
