The Ton 2016 Anniversary Release - Day 3


Hi peeps, how are you enjoying The Ton anniversary release week so far? Anything catch your eyes, yet? This release is a bog one as we're coming out with 17 new stamps and 2 new dies. Today we're featuring: Tribal Chic Borders, Like A Boss, Geometric Lattice cover plate die and bg stamp and "Fabulous" word die.

For my 1st card, I used the Geometric Lattice cover plate die. I used all the positive part. To do this, before removing all the parts from the cover plate, I added a dab of glue on the back of all the parts, then push a cardstock panel to it to transfer all the little parts (a little needle also help to get the stubborn pieces out of the cover plate). Then I colored them with markers.





To make it looks more like mosaic glass, I covered the whole circle with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, so it looks all shiny. Sometime, I could start a card with certain plan and then it went to a surprising  direction. I definitely wasn't planing to make it this bright, but then, it kind of cool, so I just kept it. No restarting. And, the sentiment, it's so very true, isn't it?

Next, I go all soft & pretty. The tribal borders are simply fun! I have several ideas swirling in my head that I plan to put on card soon. I combine the tribal borders with my favorite peonies flowers.




The tea and purple make a pretty sweet, unique combo, don't you think? Here's a look at the new sets (they all go on sale tomorrow!!).
