Tricia's Stamping Creations: Stamping With Friends Techniques Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Techniques Blog Hop as we showcase different techniques. You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Demonstrators as they share their ideas and projects to help you explore different ways to step up your projects with fun techniques.

One of my favorite things to do to relax is coloring with my Stampin' Blends. I love the way they can transform a design. For my technique today, I have used my Stampin' Blends Markers to color a piece of the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper to bring alive the flowers in the design. I have also used the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker to color the small Basic Pearls to coordinate with the card design. These simple techniques are a wonderful way for you to create your own unique cards just by choosing what color combination you want to use.

This clean and simple card design features a fun technique that is a great way to use up your black and white designer series paper designs. You can choose to add as much or as little color as you wish to transform the basic design. I wanted to keep it simple and just color the flowers using Flirty Flamingo Light and Dark Stampin' Blends Markers and the Dark Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends Marker for the leaves and buds. I attached the layer to the Basic Black cardstock layer and attached it to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. I heat embossed the sentiment from the In Your Words stamp set with White Embossing Powder and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I attached the sentiment label to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added two small pearls, that I colored with the Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker, to the label for a touch of bling.
