Good Morning Everyone
Happy Saturday! Today I'm taking part in the Project Share Project Blog Hop. You may have seen that each Thursday we each share some projects that each other have created - well on the first Saturday we also hop and create a project around a theme.
This month is colouring - and if you know me at all, you will know that I absolutely love to colour. I can sit for hours and get lost in colouring.
Today I've chosen to show a super easy and quick way to colour using blends. The Enduring Beauty Stamp set has this amazing floral outline image and although it comes with masks to blend, it's a great image to colour. If you look closely you will see some marks in the imagery which help you to get your shading correct too.
I simply followed to lines with a darker colour then filled in the rest of the image with a lighter shade! super easy, yet super effective. What do you think?
Measurements
Flirty Flamingo Card Stock
1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4" scored at 5 7/8"
Basic White Card Stock
2pc - 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
---------------------------------------------------
Take the Flirty Flamingo Card Stock and fold along the score line to create you card base. Add one of the Basic White panels to the inside.
Ink up the large floral image from Enduring Beauty in Memento ink and stamp into the centre of the remaining piece of Basic White. Add the sentiment in memento to the bottom left corner.
Take a selection of Stampin Blends and colour in the image. I used Shaded Spruce Dark and Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Flirty Flamingo light and Melon Mambo light for the flowers - I love the contrast of these colours together.
Finally ink up the small cluster (it's the solid image to in fill the small bud outline) and using 2nd Generation ink (stamped off Once) cover all the remaining white space around the image.
Add this panel to the card front and the card is done. I love how easy it is to use a few products and still get an amazing finished card. Don't get me wrong, i love layers and techniques and several components but sometimes less is more and this image definitely helps create that.
I hope you have enjoyed my card today - please continue through the hop to check out what the ladies have also created today. Jayne is up next, click the button below to check out her project.
