I'm so glad Janet Wakeland organized this blog tour... I just LOVE these Blends! There is something therapeutic about coloring, and the Stampin' Blends make it so easy! In fact, I prefer the Blends to our Stampin' Write markers for coloring (shhh... don't tell anyone). Seriously... here is the image I colored with Stampin' Write markers next to the one colored with the Blends - can you tell which is which? Of course you can. LOL! Hubby likes the image colored with the markers because the colors are vibrant. I agree, they are... but just look how smooth the colors are with the Blends - no lines or splotchy areas!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how this card turned out! As usual, it started out to be something different and is nothing like what I had going on in my head... it just kind of happened. I guess that's how all of my cute cards are born. LOL!
Thought you might want to see some of the details...
Of course EVERY card needs dimension! I decided to pop up the bird and birdhouse - because I love fussy-cutting! It's almost as relaxing as coloring.
Every card needs some kind of ribbon... and Linen Thread really is my favorite. I love how natural it is, especially with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder.
I really hope you're enjoying the blog tour and all of our projects help inspire you to try the new Stampin' Blends! Now... hop on over to Janet Wakeland's blog and see what remARKably creative project she has (but don't forget to leave a comment below before you do).
