The Ton Stamps 2017 Anniversary Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my stop on The Ton Stamps 2017 Anniversary blog hop! I am the last stop on the hop and you should have came here from Taheerah's blog. ;)

The Ton has 26 new stamps for their 2017 Anniversary Release which include three free gift with purchases. For more information on The Ton’s inventive products, head over to The Ton’s blog here. All new release products are available now!  


For my card I used the new City Girls Park Life stamp set (my favourite from this release) and created a fun watercolour scene on my card. I love all of the images in this set and couldn't wait to get them on a card! ;)
I stamped the two girl images onto Neenah Solar White cardstock, coloured them in with Copic markers and then fussy cut them with my scissors. To create my background scene, I stamped the bench onto watercolor cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and then I heat embossed over it with clear embossing powder.

I then used Distress Inks and added the background colours to look like the ground and the sky. I love the outline of the watercolour area and think it looks so great with the stamped images.

Once the watercolour was dry, I adhered the girls to the bench with liquid adhesive and I created the sentiment banner. I used a sentiment from the new Brushed Hugs stamps set and white heat embossed it onto black cardstock. I trimmed the left edge into a banner and adhered it to the top area of my card so it didn't cover any of the watercolour scene.

To see how I created this card, you can watch the video below:
