I made a bunch of MMF flowers in pale pink. Today I looked at them and they have all faded to white!! What gives? Anyone else had this problem? Did i make my colour too pale (they were the colour of cherry blossoms)?

If the paste is exposed to light it can fade very quickly. It's best to keep anything you colour in a box out of the light as much as possible.

Well I was waiting for them to dry. Im doing a cherry blossom tree, so I need tonnes of the little things.

that sucks that they faded, could you paint them the color that you need?

I would say it's unusual for them to fade so quickly then, if you have only just made them. You can try dusting them to recolour the petals.

Good luck with iticon_smile.gif
