Concord and 9th Wildflower Fields

Hi folks!  I ended up taking an unplanned, but much needed crafty break in December.  I hadn't planned to not make anything for weeks, but it just ended up happening.  We were busy with lots of holiday fun, family, and just relaxing.  I definitely missed creating though, and have been happily working with all the new things I picked up during Black Friday.

This Wildflower Fields set was the first one I pulled out to use.  I thought it would be the perfect way to get back into my crafting groove.  This little set of cards really came together in a snap.

I decided to stamp on kraft because it gives you such a pretty rustic look, perfect for these wildflowers.  

All the colored inks are Altenew.  For this first card, I used Rouge and Velvet for the flowers, and then Green Fields and Shadow Creek for the leaves/stems.  Pure Graphite was used for the center of the flowers on all the cards.

The sentiments, all from the set, were stamped with Versafine and then embossed with Ranger Frosted Crystal Antiquities embossing powder.  I use this powder a lot, I love that it gives you a more matte vs. shiny look.

I'm not showing closeups of all the cards, but for the second pink card I used Coral Berry and Grapevine for the flowers and then Green Fields and Mountain Pine for the leaves/stems.

The second two cards I went with more muted colors.  This one uses Amethyst and Plum for the flowers and Forest Glades and Evergreen for the leaves and stems.  To get some more variation in the greens, I used both first and second generation stamping for the green accents.

For the blue card, I used Cloudy Sky and Dark Night along with Forest Glades and Evergreen again.

These were such easy cards to create.  They were mass produced using the MISTI.  I just had all my color choices out and ready and stamped each portion of the image using all four colors before moving onto the next.  

Feels great to get back to crafting again!
