The Ton’s 3rd Anniversary Release Blog Hop



Hi everyone! Welcome to The Ton's 3rd Anniversary week long celebration! For this release, Effie has released 23 new stamp designs, coordinating dies and 9 new couture mixes! And, I for one think this is pretty amazing release. I can't pick just 1 favorite! I have several. Hah!

This time, we are doing the hop a bit different. Instead of just a day of hop, we have several days of blog hop with many amazing guest designer line up. Starting today all the way to January 26, join us for a fun blog hop filled with fun projects.

I made 3 cards for today. Let's start with the pretty Coming Up Daisies set. This was my first time playing with Ken Oliver's Color Burst. On this card, you can see the intensity of the color compare to the card that I made yesterday (which I diluted a lot). As someone that used to neat line, I have to learn to just let it go, let the color spread and go where they want.




I start by stamping and heat embossing the flowers. Then I wet the cardstock and carefully sprinkle the various color powder and move the carstock around to let the color move. For embellishment I added some mix size dew drop.

Next is my favorite card that I made for this release using The Peony Notes Bundles combined with Seriously Amazing Sentiments and the previously release Basic Labels.




This is such a neat  bundle! And, I love, love the large bold sentiment. Last but not least, is a pretty clean and simple card using Large Floral Daisy set. I will be playing more with this set. I got the matching dies this week & haven't got a chance to play with it, but I am excited to create more cards with this pretty set.

I would struggle with the colour outside the lines, but it looks really effective. Well done for pushing your boundaries and trying something new. The daisies on the 3rd card are just gorgeous. I love the pastel look you have created without the card looking dull. Xxx

Sue D said...

Very pretty floral cards. I like the use of Color Burst on the first one--I have never used this product.

Betty said...

wonderful daisy cards - lovely spring colors!

Beverly Chester said...

Just wondering and lovely cards! Beautiful choices of colors to brighten our day!

Michelle two Ls said...

Ahhh! While all three cards are lovely, that daisy card is so eye-catching😍 I love the colors you used on it!

Sue Wareham said...

All three cards are stunners.

cm said...

A trio of inspiring, gorgeous cards, Vera! Your pretty peonies, in particular, remind me of those my grandmother used to grow in her flower garden. They were huge and incredibly stunning, nurtured by the love and attention she gave them. Thank you for showcasing sets that are timeless and versatile...

Becca Yahrling said...

I love the artsy feel of the first card (much like yesterday's!). And I really think it takes skill for a card to look that way - so kudos to you! I love the bold sentiments, too, and can't wait to get the die set. All of your cards are just lovely.

Arianna Barbara said...

Dina C. said...

Beautiful cards, Vera! Love the last one, especially.

Tracy Jollymore said...

Lovely! Your colour choices are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your creativity.

Teri S. said...

Love what you did with the colour bursts on the first card. I tend to stay in the lines, yet I adore the loose look of watercolour. I think my favourite of the three cards is the third one. Those daisies look 3D!

Unknown said...

Pretty, love the daisies.

Berina RGA said...

I love your cards Vera! I love those daisies. Such pretty colors.

Love the daisy layering sets in this release. Your cards using them are so pretty and convince me to put the sets on my wish list. TFS your talent and inspiration!

Tammy said...

Love the daisies. And those color bursts seem interesting. I don't use watercolor often, not sure what kind of paper people use for cards when watercoloring.

Lagene said...

Great cards! I love the multi colored daisys card!

Christine said...

I especially love the daisy card, I keep telling myself I don't need any more flower stamps but am more than tempted by this one.

Wow!! All 3 of your cards are beautiful but that third one with the Large Floral Daisy Set is gorgeous and just so stunning!!! I'd love to know how you made this card and the colours used to stamp the different layers. I may need to splurge on this set.

Hi

3 beautiful floral designs all with different elements, skills and techniques used. If I had to pick an overall favourite it would have to be the large Daisies which are absolutely beautiful and I love the sentiment too. :o)

I could never pick just one favorite from the Ton... they all work their magic in their own way!

Those flowers are so cute. I love how effortless watercoloring can look on your cards.

Quillish said...

Such pretty colors you used! Loved the cards :)

bev p said...

Racing to beat the deadline! Such beautiful stamps and you have done them beautifully! My favorite is the first, just because I love the style of the loose watercolor look. I suppose the more precisely colored should be my favorites, because it is really hard for me to achieve (although I am still working at it!). Thank you for the lovely examples and the inspiration to keep trying.
