Hey there! I finally had a chance to play a bit this week, and play I did! I've been wanting to use my Stampin' Blends more, so I tried them out on a piece of Just Add Color Specialty Designer Series Paper to create this beauty:
This paper is completely black and white with only one side printed, so you don't have to choose which side to use. The open designs are printed on heavyweight paper so you can watercolor, brayer, marker, sponge, brayer, or do what I did, color with the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers!
The designs include sealife, town buildings, feathers, foliage, teapots & teacups, and the garden watering cans and flowers I chose for my card today. I used Light & Dark Old Olive, Light & Dark Rich Razzleberry, Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Bermuda Bay, and Light Pink Pirouette to color all f the flowers, leaves, butterflies, and watering cans. I filled in the remaining space with a Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend. Using the blends made me feel like a real artist!
I used Bermuda Bay 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon, embossed the Basic Gray panel with the Simple Stripes folder, then added a Petal Palette greeting cut with a Petals & More Thinlets die.
I used my fave fold, the "fun flex fold", adding another Petal Palette sentiment and Pool Party dots to the inside.
