Welcome! I have a couple of cards to share using the new My Favorite Things Stamps Flower in Bloom Card Kit which will be available on Tuesday, June 25. I loved playing with this kit! For today's cards, I've departed from my usual Copic-colored images because this kit comes with three colors of Ken Oliver Color Burst powdered watercolors in exclusive MFT colors. Of course I had to play with those! On the card above, I used the Tropical Teal and Jellybean Green colors on my background. (Actually, I had a couple of spots of Coral Crush as well, but they both ended up covered by the floral images or sentiment.) For the blossoms, I used mostly Coral Crush, but I added a touch of both a dark crimson and a purple that were not part of the kit--Colorburst colors that I had previously purchased. The flowers are heat embossed with Versamark inks and detail black embossing powder.
For my second card, I used gold embossing powder because I've seen so many cards that I have loved lately using gold EP. Honestly, I liked the black EP better, but that's just a matter of personal preference. I didn't die-cut the flowers on this one, but experimented with one layer, masking the flowers with a scrap of die-cut while I played with the background Besides the MFT Tropical Teal Colorburst, I also used a deep blue Colorburst that was not part of the kit. While I was happy with the background in this one, the more I look at it, I think that the flowers should probably have been deeper colored. Between the gold embossing powder and the lighter coral colors of the flowers, my background might overpower the flowers. . . It's all an experiment, right?
