Colour Me Happy with Blends

This card is entered into the Crazy Crafters Team Highlights this week. Click here to see the other projects and vote for your favourites.

In this card, I used up the other piece of Basic Gray cardstock leftover from cutting labels. I described the process I used here.

A quick & easy card using the Color Me Happy stamp set

This was such a quick and easy card! I stamped the bird (from the Color Me Happy stamp set) with Memento ink onto the Very Vanilla card top and then coloured it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

It's so satisfying to find a purpose for leftover bits and pieces I find on my craft table!

Then I simply added the Basic Gray frame and the branch (which was also a leftover piece already on my desk!). I was tempted to leave it at that but decided to add the Faceted Gems to create more balance. I (carefully) coloured them by dabbing at them with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blend so that they would match the bird and the Calypso Coral layer on the card.

Thank you for visiting.

Flower Shop Birthday Washi Tape

I'm continuing with my quest to actually use my washi tape collection! And I've made an important discovery - washi tape makes makes very quick but effective cards! I can't believe it's taken me so long to stumble over this revelation!

Washi Tape and Stampin' Blends alcohol markers - a perfect union!

Having applied the washi tape to the Very Vanilla card, I stamped the greeting from Feather Together in Soft Suede ink and adhered some flowers! I did take an extra minute to add some Gold Faceted Gems and a Metallic Sequin to the flower centres but that's it! Done!

The flowers (from Color Me Happy and Flower Shop) were stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and coloured with the new Stampin' Blends alcohol markers that are available from today. I fussy cut them all although the Pansy Punch does coordinate with the Flower Shop images.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
