Mood Board at The Ton Challenge

SCRUMPTIOUS colors to work with in this MOOD BOARD for THE TON JULY CHALLENGE!

Deciding WHICH stamps to work with from The TON was the most challenging part. There are so many florals to choose from:))

I finally narrowed it down to:

• Large Peony 5 and Coordinating dies 
• Fresh Cut Anemones and Coordinating dies 
• Fresh Cut Sunflowers Outlines and Coordinating dies 

I heat embossed the selected Blooms from the sets above onto watercolor CS using 

Clear Embossing Powder. Then colored them with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolor - 36 Colors. After the blooms were dry, I cut them out using the Coordinating Dies. Just a hint of markers was used to add a bit of shadowing details:)

I had a panel of CS stamped with the Polka Dots Background Cling in Crystal Pewter (Pewter Minis would be a GREAT collection to have on hand too:) Trimmed with the Double Stitched Rectangle die Small and layer my pretty blooms onto that.

For the sentiment I used the LOVE from Bokeh Burst Heart and Coordinating die. Heat embossed with Silver Embossing powder. Colored a tiny banner to coordinate with the largest bloom and stamped much with Noir Dye ink. This  Liquid Glue is my FAVORITE to stick things down...it is Permanent and Repositionable...just let it dry a bit on your paper pieces first and then it becomes tacky...repositionable:)) Popped teh whole bundle onto a white card base and called it done!

 The Anemone center was Re-Embossed with Black EP after the watercoloring was dry.
