The project I like to share with you today is my Spring is in the Air! card. As I love colors, Spring and all the wonderful die sets of Elizabeth Craft Designs, I knew that working with Tombow’s Landscape Palette Dual Brush Pens would bring my imagination to life!

  4. I just love your coloring technique!!! It looks as though you spent a LOT more time than that, such a cool card! Thank you.

  5. I love that you made your own colored paper to use with the dies. It gives them so much more dimension and interest than plain card stock. A really beautiful card with some wonderful details. TFS!
