The Ton’s Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop




Hello! I am thrilled to be joining the Ton's Summer 2017 Release Blog Hop! They have some absolutely gorgeous new products!


My first card uses the gorgeous set called Fresh Cut Anemones and Wave. I have to tell you that Wave is SO cool! It has three layers of stamping and just looks amazing when it's all done! 


I stamped the wave first and the sentiment. Then I stamped the flowers and leaves, and fussy cut those out. I adhered them with foam tape, then cut them off flush with the edge of the card.


***


My next card uses a beautiful new set called Watercolor Wreath. It has the flowers already arranged in a wreath you can just stamp, or single flowers to create your own wreath or arrangement. I used the single flowers and leaves here.


I used Master's Touch watercolor paper and Distress inks. I stamped all of the flowers and leaves, and then took a wet brush and a little more of the inks, and went around each flower to create a watercolor look. I let each color dry before starting the next one to keep some of the colors from mixing together. 


I stamped the sentiment from the Wave stamp set and adhered that to the center of the card with foam tape, then added a few sequins to finish it up!


The Ton has 24 new stamps for their new Summer 2017 Release which includes up to four free gifts with purchases. For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog HERE. All new release products are available now!

  49. I keep bypassing "The Wave" stamp. But, the way you used the stamp on your first card really is calling to me! With the flowers in front of the wave makes it really pop out. The water coloring on your second card is fabulous! The way you explained the technique you used is very helpful, thank you.

  51. Hi Kay! I've had so much trouble leaving a comment until I realized using my husband's Kindle, didn't recognize my information. (My Kindle finally took a powder). When I first saw your cards, I thought outloud, oh my gosh. I shared them with my husband and he echoes my sentiments. "Has she ever considered going commercial"? Every card is my favorite! :) I hope you have a relaxing and fun summer ahead ( you deserve it!) and may God bless you Kay.
