 Today I have three cards to share with you and all of them feature those fabulous incentive stamp sets.  For these cards I used the following new stamps from The Ton's Spring 2018 Release:

Toned Squares

Nesting Peonies

Beautiful Bettas

 First up is a card I made using the Beautiful Bettas.  For a soft bubbly backdrop I used the Toned Squares stamp set, stamped with those beautiful inks by The Ton.

Couture Color Ink:  Soft Amethyst, Iris Bloom, Violet Fringe, Cali Blue, Parisian Blue, Asurite, Blue Diamond, Lofty Mint, Arctic Sky and Noir.

I also used the Double Stitched Rectangle Large die set for a frame and added some pretty Dew Drop Mix for clear bubbles.  Looking closely you can see I added a shimmery shine with a clear Wink of Stella glitter marker.

Card number two also features that beautiful large betta.  This card was a little more simple to stamp but I think I like it even better.  Using just the edge of the Toned Squares I added what looks like natural toned rocks on the bottom of a fish tank.

Couture Color Ink: Warm Hazelnut, Aspen Cocoa, Noir, Bright Fern, Soft Amethyst, Iris Bloom, Violet Fringe and Noir.

 Just look at the stunning details on this fish!!!  I added some bubbles using some clear sequins from the Glass Slippers Mix.   The sentiment is from one of The Ton's older stamp sets Coming up Daisies.

While the fish are fun, these little chickadees really won my heart.  This, by far is my favorite stamp set in this release.  These Nesting Peonies are exquisite! I stamped this stamp with The Ton's Copic friendly Caviar ink and then colored these beauties with Copic markers.  I fussy cut around the whole branch but there are dies available.  I highly recommend them because this is quite intricate and takes some time to cut out.  They are at the top of my wish list for sure!

I added some stripes to the bottom in a coordinating color ink using The Ton's Minor Stripes Cling Background. I topped this card off with some pretty Glass Slippers Mix and a thin strip of Silver Glitter Adhesive Paper.

Couture Color Inks:  Caviar, Noir and Cosmopolitan Pink
