Flower Fest Colored Embossing With Burnishing

I had a great time with my Stamp Club on Friday night!  I always do!  We tried out the new Flower Fest stamp set, along with the new colored embossing powders, all featured in the Summer Mini Catalog.

I CASEd this card from the sample card on page 8 of the Summer Mini.  I love that Stampin' Up! features lots of project ideas to provide excellent creative inspiration! 

Card Details & Tips

• I used VersaMark Ink and the Melon Mambo and Tangerine Tango Embossing Powders to create the randomly stamped flower images.
• I wanted the leaves to be more subtle, so I stamped those with Wild Wasabi instead of embossing. 
• I embossed the Sincere Salutations greeting with Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder to match.
• I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Punch to create the Wild Wasabi border.

Color Burnishing The Flowers

I colored in the flowers by using Sponge Daubers with the coordinating colors of ink.  Be sure to use a light touch with this technique.  Using a circular motion, start sponging the ink on the center of the flower and circle outward with a lighter touch for soft, blended color.  I used the edge of my Dauber to apply ink to the leaves since they were narrower.  I love how this simple technique makes the flowers really stand out!  This set is perfect for color burnishing!
