Clearsnap-Tombow Blog Hop!

Hello and Welcome to the Tombow USA and Clearsnap Blog Hop! For this hop we swapped products that were made for each other: Tombow Adhesives and Clearsnap Foils! On this hop we will share easy, affordable and fun ways to use Clearsnap's Designer Foils with Tombow adhesive as well as other fun ways Tombow and Clearsnap products work together.

You probably got here from Jennifer's blog but if you stumbled across my blog, go to the Clearsnap Blog to start! 

Today I will be sharing with you a layout that has been given subtle pizzazz using these three gems-adding just enough bling to a simply designed layout!  The best part-I was able to add the foil without worrying about making a mess of an already assembled layout! 

I began by creating a soft watercolor background using water-diluted Aladine Izink Inks.  Once the background was completely dry, I decided on a design and adhered the layout together with Tombow Mono Liquid Glue (absolute favorite glue), but the page still needed something.  

So, I whipped out the Tombow Glue Pen and simply drew a line around the border of the paper.  I let the glue dry for a few ticks-then shiny side up-applied Clearsnap Gold Foil atop the now tacky lines.  There isn't an exact science for this technique-if spots were missing, I went back in with my pen and repeated the above steps; I'm not a neat scrapper, so I wasn't worried about getting straight lines or perfect coverage from the foil.  For me,  it just adds more interest and texture!  Easy peasy right?!
