Adding Silver Embossing Powder. + The Ton’s Spring 2018 Release Blog Hop
07:00
Cardmaking can always be stepped up in some way and today I'm going to show you how to do just that with adding silver! I'm celebrating with The Ton's Release with Beautiful Bettas and Dahlia Bouquet. 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.
Three new release stamps will be given away to random commenters from the hop participant blogs. To qualify, you must leave a comment on The Ton Blog Hop post. The comment period will close on Friday, April 6 at 5pm. Winners will be announced thereafter on The Ton’s blog.
Layering stamps are a ton of fun and add a lot of detail and realness to a card. I tried embossing the third layer for some extra glam! Don't forget your first two layers must be completely dry before adding the third layer and powder!
This 6x6 bouquet is HUGE! It's a 6x6 stamp and can be used partially on an A2 card or you can use it on a square card.
Blog Hop List:
Justine Hovey - you are here!

I coloured this image with Prismacolor Pencils and I used a Google Search of Dahlias to choose my colours. This is a pretty simple technique.
Prismacolor Colours Used:

Pomegrenate
Hot Pink

card with the fish is awesome
ReplyDeleteI LOVE both of your cards, Justine.....but that Dahlia bouquet is GORGEOUS! I love how your coloring pops on the black cardstock and how you chose to color only a few of the flowers. Such a great idea to make a statement!!!
ReplyDeleteJust loved both of your card offerings today. Silver really makes both the fish and dahlias pop.
ReplyDeleteCheers

ReplyDeleteMy 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
ReplyDeleteLove the silver embossing and that you did not color all the images on the first card. Very modern.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are wonderful using the silver embossing powder!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Justine! Love the vibrant colors and splash of silver.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are gorgeous (always), and I adore the white embossing on black with only some of the flowers colored.

ReplyDeleteJust so gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL WORK, Justine! I LOVE the floral! Who doesn't???? LOL I just swoon over florals! I am new to The Ton as of this week.... so I am IN HEAVEN! LOL Your Betta Card is STUNNING with the layers of color, & your embossing!I LOVE how you can see each layer of color with these! SERIOUSLY, a GORGEOUS STAMP!!! ;)

ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty creation!
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful work - love it:)
ReplyDeleteThe silver embossing really makes your cards sing! Love the bouquet on the black cardstick -- really stunning!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards; I love the Ton stamps so much!!! Using embossing to add a layer to the fish is genius and I also love how you didn't color all of the flowers on the black card. I am excruciatingly horrible at colored pencils but this looks like something I might actually try. TFS
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Justine

ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards. Love the embossing on the flowers and fish. Thanks so much for sharing...
ReplyDeleteLove this technique! Gorgeous cards Justine.the silver really makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure which is my favorite card of the two. I have a tendency to lean towards the flower but I think beta fish are so cool that it wins. I was a fish sitter for a co workers beta for a week. It was so neat at feeding time. I would swear I could hear him crunching his food. Love the cards, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe red fish with their silver highlights really pop - and the "Keep Swimming" is such a great sentiment. I hadn't thought of doing white or yellow pencil coloring at the tips of the flower petals. Great idea.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great but the beta fish card is my fav! So pretty! And I agree that the time you took to cut the whole in the mask for the fins was worth it :-) Guessing you are not a science teacher, eh? ;-)
