Welcome! I am so honored to be designing alongside all the Design Team and huge list of Special Guests for The Ton's 4th Anniversary! Some amazing and unique new stamps are being released for the anniversary release!
The Ton has AMAZING floral stamps. I was excited to see the Today's Cosmos flowers in the new release. Some of my favorite flowers! Coloring these using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers was effortless. I white heat embossed, colored the out lines of the petals, and filled in color with a water brush. I just love the effect! All the flowers and leaves were fussy cut with scissors.
For my background I masked off an area and ink blended Mustard Seed Distress Ink with my ink blending brushes. I stamped my sentiment with bold black ink, added my flowers, and some gems.

Next up, I have a CAS card using Hustle and Grind which is a huge sentiment set. I went rainbow colors with the triangle grouping of stamps included in this set. So easy and for dimension, I added my stamped sentiment with foam adhesive.
