Flowers, and Flowers!

 Hello, and welcome to 2021!  Oh yah, it's me that's late... ๐Ÿ˜•  Anyway, here's the official start of 2021 for me and the blog, I mean it's only January 18th!  Ugh!  I have some cards to share, and send to a few challenges - the cards were all made with the same stamp set, a new to me set actually a "win" from The Twofer Challenge. 

Card #1 -


And a close-up ~


Heat embossed the flower with silver pearl e/p, water colored with Zigs, dry embossed to create a "frame" (somehow it appears my lines wandered around which I assure you they are straight), then again heat embossed the sentiment.  This one head to The Flower Challenge #52-embossing, .

Card #2 -


Stamped image offset, colored with Copics, placed off-centered with some matching pp to make those leaves pop!

And the two together ~



AND I actually made a Threefer, but I'm saving that one for another day  ๐Ÿ˜‰

ETA:  
  










Supplies:

   Stamplorations Bloomfully:  Kindness (for both cards)

   2nd card - Sentiment by Altenew - Birthday Greetings

Thanks for spending a moment, and sharing in my "makes", you all make my heart happy!

Hugs,

TK

What pretty flowers both ways, TK! Love the watercolors on the dark background! Your scoring looks great! Great use of patterned paper to pick up the green of the leaves on the second card! Thanks for sharing with us at The Twofer Challenge!

These are really pretty, TK, and big congrats on your win! That silver pearl embossing powder looks amazing against the soft colors of those flowers. I just love watercolored flowers! And your very happy birthday card will certainly bring a smile. Love those green stripes, too. Thank you so much for joining us at The Twofer Challenge. Stay safe. Bev

Amazing how the same beautiful stamped image can look so very different x. Both cards are so pretty and what fabulous water colouring too TK. Thinking of you x.

The soft shimmer of the embossing is just lovely with your delicate watercolouring, TK ... those flowers are fabulous against the bold background ... and what a wonderful sentiment! Your offset birthday card is so pretty ... the striped pp really draws the eye to the flowers and to your delicious colouring! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
