Technique Tuesday and MISTI blog hop + Giveaway

Hi everyone and happy Saturday!
I am back, with yet another flower card! But this time I am using Technique Tuesday! For my card I used the Cherry Blossom set along with the coordinating dies. I stamped the image onto dark gray Mi Tientes Canson paper using MFT Extreme black ink and colored with my Chameleon Pencils. I had my paper still in the MISTI while coloring and made sure it didn't move. Once done, I inked my stamp using VersaFine Clair Nacturne ink and stamped over it ,then embossed with Ultra Fine embossing powder. I added some details with white gel pen.

Next I die cut Beautiful twice from white card stock and adhered them together. Before I die cut the sentiment I sprayed the card stock with Sparkle shimmer spray.
On another piece of the Mi Tientes paper I stamped LIFE IS and embossed in white. I assembled my card and added some Nuvo drops in white and glitter washi to add extra interest.
VIDEO IS COMING LATER TODAY

I love how those blooms just pop right off the card base. White on that dark brown with a splash of pink is stunning!

Your flower is awesome. I love coloring flowers and I am working hard on shading. I love how you colored this card and will try to make one like this. I do not have this stamp or die but will work on coloring another flower to look as awesome as yours does

We were blessed to go to Japan for our anniversary, a big one coming up. Everything "cheery blossom" or even flowers on a branch, are in my heart right now. This one is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

Oh I love this card. I love the flowers (I do the animal house stamps and dies I may need to change to the flowers) I love the idea of re-stamping the image once it's colored. Beautiful card.
That’s such a wonderful card !! I love black base so much ! It’s so elegant.

Your coloring is so gorgeous. I love how you laid out this card; it's really striking. I particularly like the pink glitter cardstock along the edge. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful card and such great techniques with us! (Now if only I could be patient enough to actually leave the stamp in the positioner until I was done coloring!)
