The Ton’s 3rd Anniversary Release - Day 1



Hi everyone and welcome to The Ton's 3rd Anniversary Release. For this anniversary celebration, Effie has released 23 new stamp designs, coordinating dies and 9 new couture mixes!

Today, we are introducing Fresh Cut Daisies (Layered + Outlines), Large Florals: Daisy, Seriously Amazing, Coming Up Daisies, Buildable Woodgrain, Riotous Wildflowers, Winter Cardinal, Bold General Word Greeting Dies and Bold Amazing Word Greeting Dies (all links will go live on 1/19/2018).

And introducing 3 new couture mix.
Mix 1: Pink Blossoms
Mix 2: Lilac Blossoms
Mix 3: Mint Sugar

My 1st card is featuring the Winter Cardinal. Did you know that Cardinal comes in many colors? I learned this while searching for color ideas that there are many variety of Cardinal. I love learning something new from just searching for inspiration. :) For the sentiment I used the thank you from Occasion Confetti set.




For my 2nd card, I played with Riotous Wildflowers set. I have this set of Aladine Izink Pigment inks that just been sitting on my shelves and I decided to give it a try. I used the yellow & the red and the colors are pretty intense. I diluted the red quite a bit. Didn't do that with the yellow. I find them to be a bit harder to blend, but then again this is my 1st time trying them, so I probably just need more practice. For the softer yellow, I used Zig Clean Brush.

lovely cards - love the soft colors on your second card:)

Love, love the Riotous Wildflowers. Your colours are fabulous even if you think that your blending is not perfect. I have never used Izink Inks but they look great. The Winter Cardinal is a good looking card. I also never knew that Cardinals come in different colours.
Well done on showcasing the stamps
