The Ton’s Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop

Hi friends!

Today I’m honored to join The Ton Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop.

The Ton has 14 new stamps, coordinating dies and 5 standalone dies for their new Spring 2018 Release which includes up to two free gifts with purchases (GWP). For more information on The Ton’s incentive gifts, head over to The Ton’s blog. New release products can be purchased now and all new release orders will begin to ship on Monday, April 9.

You probably came from Brenda Noelke. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at The Ton’s blog.

LARGE DAHLIA

For my first card I used beautiful Large Dahlia 1 Stamp Set. This set has several beautiful outlined floral images, perfect for coloring. That’s actually what I did here – colored the biggest dahlia using waterbased markers.

The Ton Large Dahlia colored with Arteza markers. Card by @craftwalks.#theton #thetonstamps #card #cardmaking #artezamarkers #dahlia #handmadecards

The flower was stamped using Deep Sapphire Dye ink, for leaves I used Everglade Moss Dye ink.

I colored with Arteza markers, which I bought recently and now am testing (and loving them so far).

After coloring the flower and leaves I decided to add small blue shades which turned out with almost completely covered blue background lol. Well.. I wanted more clean and white card and it turned out more dramatic. But it’s ok with me. I love blue and I love dramatic cards.

I tied a blue hemp twine around the panel and foam mounted the sentiment (white embossed on a black stripe) onto it.  Lastly I added several white crystals and foam mounted the panel onto a rustic cream card base.

BEAUTIFUL BETTAS

It’s not a surprise that I’m a sucker for realistic layering stamps! New The Ton Beautiful Bettas Steamp Set is definitely one of those. I made a card with dual red and blue design using this amazing set.

The red betta was stamped using Soft Garnet Dye, Red Sangria Hybrid and Lipstick Red Dye inks from The Ton. For the red part of the background I blended  Soft Garnet Dye and added splatters of Lipstick Red Dye ink. The same ink was used to stamp the sentiment in the right top corner.

For the blue betta were used The Ton Cali Blue Dye, Azurite Dye, Deep Sapphire Dye inks. Cali Blue Dye ink was blended onto the background in the right bottom corner. And splatters of Deep Sapphire Dye ink were added in that area too. For the blue sentiment I used Deep Sapphire Dye ink as well.

I foam mounted the panel onto a white card base and added several clear droplets to finish off the card.

I like how dual this card looks (if it’s the correct way to say). I was hesitating where would I put a sentiment and decided to make two mirror ones, since everything else is mirrored too. And I’m glad I decided to make this experiment. I really like how it turned out.

    My favorites of the 2018 Spring Release Hop are the golden fish and diamonds pattern…the line contouring the fish and the pattern of the diamonds make the fish and the diamond move into life

    Hi, OMG, Your first card is just STUNNING, that Dahlia is a beautiful stamp, and the colors you picked are so pretty. You are such a talented colorist, this flower looks so real, I would frame this and hang it on your wall it is just so gorgeous. The 2nd card is also beautiful, I have to tell you I have never heard of Betta fish until this blog hop, but they are beautiful fish, so much better than goldfish right, lol. Again, the colors and the coloring, just amazing. Thanks for an awesome post today.
