Hello there, crafty friends! I'm excited to be participating in the Concord & 9th Birthday Bash Blog Hop! Throughout the month of August, Concord & 9th is celebrating their 9th birthday by having current and past guest designers share a project they've created.
To add to the excitement, Concord & 9th is generously giving away a $20.00 gift card to use in their online store to one randomly chosen person, all you have to do is leave a comment here on this blog post telling me your favorite Concord & 9th stamp set or die. Even if you don't own any Concord & 9th products, just follow thislink to their store and browse around then come back here and leave your comment. You have one week from today to comment, ONE comment per person please.
For my card I used the Concord & 9th stamp sets, Wildflower and You are Enough and had fun doing some Copic marker coloring. I started out by using black Palette ink and stamped three of the main flowers. Then on a scrap piece of paper I stamped the same flowers again and cut them out so that I could use them as a mask before stamping the rest of my flowers. Next I stamped my sentiment from the You are Enough set and heat set the ink using my heat tool. I started coloring my leaves first using two shades of green (YG00/YG25), then next I colored the large pink flower (RV11/RV23/RV14/RV25), then the yellow flowers (Y11/Y15/Y17/Y38). I moved on to the three orange flowers (Y38/YR16/YR18) and then blended in some color around the flowers and stems for a background (BG10/BG32/BG15/BG18). To finish off my card I used some foam tape to adhere it to a white card base and then added some iridescent sequins and some Wink of Stella glitter pen to the centers of the flowers.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card. Two of my favorites from Concord & 9th are Shine Brighter stamp set (so versatile) and By Your Side Birdie Die.
Love your card. I always forget to do a background when I'm doing flowers. You're halo effect is terrific. I, too like the C&9 stamps. Hard to pick a fave, but if I have to, I guess I'll choose Sohpisticated Script. Love doing envelope art with them!
Love your beautiful card! Fabulous coloring and such a pretty stamp set you used for the flowers! My favorite set from Concord & 9th is the Take a Bough bundle!
I like the stripe builder. I've seen cards made with that design and think they are wonderful. There are several Christmas sets that are great. Time to start thinking about those cards. thanks Love your card. So colorful and pretty.
I just purchased Take A Bough Die's and am in love with them. Can't wait to make a tree and also teach a class at the library on constructing a tree. Yummy stamps and dies
My most favorite, although there are lots of their products that I can call favorites, is the hugs die. I am always curious on how to use it and create something from it.
A gorgeous showcase of this set! I often see these lovely flowers water-coloured (which is so beyond my skills!), so your copic-coloured version really has me captivated. I'll be trying them with my pencil crayons soon! Favourite sets? Aside from 'all" are this one, as well as the Floral and Flutter dies. I have a wish list 'this long' *arms outstretched*...and can't wait to see the new releases on the 9th! Thank you for the inspiration! ~carol
Your card is just beautiful! I love the way that aqua background around the flowers gives the whole peace a tropical feel! Concord and 9th - it is impossible to pick my favorite. I definitely have the script stamps on my "need these" list, but then so is the heart die that was used in a fabulous card earlier this wk, and the You are enough stamp set.... Oh - and then there are the Holiday bundles...... I"m addicted, I tell you! :)
Stunning card!! My fvorite stamp and die sets are the HUGS bundle and the JOY bundle!! I just ordered the JOY bundle and cannot wait to get it! :-) Happy Birthday to Concord & 9th!!
Beautiful card. Love your coloring. I would have to say Layers of Love is my favorite right now and the By Your Side bundle is a close runner up..I adore those birds on the branch. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lynn ~ I am totally impressed with your Copic coloring skills (maybe even a wee bit green with envy!!). You have more than shown off this stamp set in all its glory; it's absolutely stunning!! Thanks so much for the inspiration and I look forward to getting my Take a Bough bundle in the mail, which is my favorite. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all things Christmas and can't wait to get my hands on all these goodies. Have an awesome weekend.
Wish I had your coloring skills. I have seen you use Concord & 9th products and your projects are stunning. I would love the Wildflower stamp and die bundle. I already have the sophisticated script set and LOVE it.
Hugs Stamp Set & Hugs Die, I have made so many cards with them. Everyone that has received one of these cards, always say how much they love their card.
Wow, just gorgeous!!! Love the coloring - the shading you added just makes everything stand out. My favorite Concord & 9th set is Pop Art Pineapple. Oh, and Sophisticated Script!
I don't own any concord and 9th stamp YET but My favourite is wild flowers and you're my person set. It's been on my wishlist since I set eyes on it. Super love your card!
Sophisticated script, both upper and lower case, are my favorites. It is fun to be able to personalize cards with a favorite quip or name. Your birthday cards for Concord & 9th really pop with color!
Your card is stunning! My favorite Concord & 9th product: definitive the Floral & Flutter die.
I want it since it was released. Isn't easy to get your hands on it in Europe. Such a gift card would made it possible to order from the US without getting broke.
This is such a bright, happy card, Lynn! It makes me want to color! I love all my Concord and 9th stamps and dies, but the FLoral and Flutter dies. That butterfly is what sent me to C9th to start with!
Lynn, the only reason I have a C&9th favorite is because what I've seen designers do with their products... I'm fairly new to the online paper crafting scene, so there are lots I don't know about or have. But I've seen the Hugs die and love it and see that they have a Thanks as well... That would have to be my absolute favorite. One day I hope to own one. (Of each) 😉. Your card is gorgeous. I'm NOT a copic girl. I use sharpies if I use markers and it's usually on coloring books. 😂 Your coloring is amazing. TFS!
Lynn, this is gorgeous!!! I have to choose a favorite? That's so hard because they are all fabulous...but I do love and always seem to come back to the Blossom Die.
Wow...what a gorgeous card. And I really like your colouring of the flowers and the little bit of blue behind them. "Let's chat" with the coffee-cup is one of my favorites ;o)
My favorites are Wildflower and the Sophisticated Script bundle. And I just made an order for the new Take a Bough bundle. Can't get enough of their beautiful designs.
What a gorgeous card! But, you know, asking to choose just one...not possible! I had to close my eyes and choose, since I love most of them - choosing...Wilflower
Beautiful card, Lynn! Thanks for sharing with us and for being a part of this great hop and giveaway! My favorite product is the locking thanks die. What a cool idea!
This is my favorite I've seen done with this stamp set I'd say. Very cool!! I LOVE the light color around each image. Not sure if this is still going on, but my favorite would be Wildflower. Followed closely by Tree Ring, You Are Enough and I'm dying to get my hands on the Take A Bough bundle.
Gorgeous card! My favorite Concord & 9th Stamp sets are: Flourish, Tree Ring, and Joy.
