It is pretty obvious to those of you who follow my posts that I LOVE Coloring. Especially using the Stampin’ Blends. So today’s card is all about the coloring! Oh Boy!!
I am so going to miss the beautiful True Love Designer Series Paper. The black and white pieces are timeless by themselves. I chose to use two different sheets in the True Love package. A big Thank You to whoever decided to try coloring on the DSP years ago!! Because when you add color to these sheets they are just elevated into Art.
My Color Choices
I opted to go a bit out of the norm for the main flower color and chose Poppy Parade. I used both the Dark and Light Stampin’ Blends. To compliment these , and add a touch of lighter color, I added the Dark of the Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. For the leaves I used both of the Just Jade Blends. The “sky” behind the flowers is colored using the Seaside Spray Stampin’ Blend. I am so very sad to see this color retire. It is my favorite Blue in the Stampin’ Up! color family 🙁
Finishing Touches
For the finished card, I added some twine from the Playful Pets Combo. The black and white pairs perfectly with the black and white layer of the DSP. I still felt it needed something. So I added a little “Hello” from the Snailed It stamp set. The tag if part of the Hydrangea Haven Dies. I love that Stampin’ Up! seems to always have a little tag available in a set or two. They are great finishing touches.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop. You will find lots of wonderful projects to view.
