Coloring Fun
Welcome to another Global
Stamping Friends Blog Hop. This month we
were issued a color challenge; Lemon Lime Twist, Island Indigo, and Early
Espresso, you can see the colors above.
The base of this card is Lemon
Lime Twist card stock (cs) and the Picture Perfect Party 6” x 6” Designer
Series Paper (DSP) cut at 4” x 5.25” and matted with Early Espresso cs cut at 4
1/8” x 5 3/8”. This thin 1/8” difference
in size gives a nice clean edge to the DSP.
You can see how I created a 'circle' using the stamp image in the video below. It also gives a brief explanation of how to use
Watercolor Pencils and the ‘squeeze-pad’ technique for coloring. (Note that some of the Watercolor Pencils are from the Lots of Happy card kit, which comes with 4 colors)
As I mentioned in the video, an
overlooked Sale-a-bration product might just be the Tutti-Frutti Cards &
Envelopes pack (4 each of 4 designs with matching envelopes). I love the ease of using this type of kit to created beautiful professional looking cards.
On this card I used the striped Lemon Lime Twist card
base, however, I wanted to have a border for the below design. I simply trimmed the base so I had 4” x 5.25”
piece to place over the Thick Whisper White cs base.
The long tag is a 2” x 5.25”
piece of Island Indigo cs with the tail points cut using the Banner Triple
punch. I then ran it through the Big
Shot using the Hexagons 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
(D-TIEF). Afterwards I rubbed the
Whisper White Craft Ink Pad directly onto the cs and used a paper towel to wipe
off any excess ink until I got the desired color.
I stamped the bird houses image
with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored using Stampin’ Blends Markers. Note:
This is on Whisper White cs (2.75” x 3”), I used the Pool Party Light
and also a bit of touches here and there with the Color Lifter Marker to give
the ‘sky’ some dimensions. This is
matted with Early Espresso cs (3” x 3.25”) and adhered with Stampin’
Dimensionals. The sentiment is also on
Whisper White cs (.75” x 2”) that was colored a bit lighter than the sky piece.
