Designer Tips for This Collection
Design Master
We are absolutely smitten with Design Master and its range of sumptuous colors for quick color correcting of fresh florals. We strongly suggest having a can or two of this incredible tool on hand when you DIY your flowers. We specifically suggest the following two colors for this package.
The first color is burgundy Design Master. Burgundy is a very specific color and can lean more red in some crops and more purple in others. This is due to variations from crop to crop that are affected by a variety of factors such as sunlight, rainfall, soil pH, and where the farm is located. In autumn and going into winter, the demand for burgundy flowers spikes and oftentimes creates a shortage. Having a can of this paint at the ready means that you'll be well prepared for anything. If your burgundy carnations have to be subbed with red, it won't be a big deal because you'll color correct them back to burgundy with your paint!
The second color we strongly suggest you have on hand is navy. Very few blue/navy flowers exist naturally in the flower world so having a can of this paint will be immensely helpful. You can paint out your thistle if it's still a bit green, or get really creative and paint pieces of your greenery for an upscale, unexpected design. Look at you - you're already practically a professional!
We carry a large line of Design Master Paints so be sure to snag a few cans before you check out and get ready to slay your designs!
