Welcome to the "My Favorite" release blog hop! The new release has a set of watercolor cards, stamps and dies.
One of my favorite stamp set from the new release is the Sketch Ranunculus. The gorgeous florals makes the prettiest cards!I colored in these amazing flowers with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers with a simple black and white diagonal stripe border for a striking card with bright, colorful flowers.
I stamped the flower images from the Sketch Ranunculus Stamp Set on Bristol Smooth Cardstock using Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink and colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. The color combinations are listed below:
PINK FLOWERS: Sugared Almond Pink 200, Peach Pink 202, Pink 025
RED FLOWERS: Carmine Red 022, Light Carmine 021
AQUA FLOWERS: Turquoise Green 042, Green Shadow 049
PURPLE FLOWERS: Purple 082, Light Violet 081
ORANGE FLOWERS: Orange 070, Yellow 050, Carmine Red 022
LEAVES: May Green 047, Yellow Green 053
I stamped a greeting from the Sketch Ranunculus Stamp Set on Black Cardstock using Versamark Ink and heat embossed the image with white embossing powder. I trimmed the embossed greeting into a thin strip and attached it over one of the groupings of flowers.
I stamped the Diagonal Stripe Background Stamp on smooth white cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink. I adhered the flower strip over the stripe and adhered the whole thing to a side fold card base. I finished the greeting strip with some clear gemstones on either side of the embossed greeting.
