Today’s card is all about coloring. With the beautiful Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper that is an easy and fun thing to do.
This card is one I created for the Make My Monday Challenge. The challenge is Coloring. Any method is acceptable for the challenge. Going with my favorite, I used the Stampin’ Blends of course. You can join the challenger by clicking on the icon and adding your version of a card with coloring.
Papers
There are two different Designer Series Paper pack pieces used on this card. The first is the Abigail Rose. That pack is mostly florals and a few unique pieces. Since I needed to color, I chose one of the flower patterns. There was a 6X6 piece of this piece left from my Product Share. Coloring the entire 6X6 piece made perfect sense. Sadly I forgot to photograph the piece before fussy cutting this bouquet. This bouquet of flowers is spaced all over the sheet. Using Stampin’ Blends was a no brainer for me as they are my favorite means of coloring.
And the second layer of DSP is from the Awash In Beauty Designer Series Paper. The Mossy Meadow layer fit perfectly with the darker of the leaves in my bouquet. Choosing the bouquet from the edge of the paper was two fold. It was my favorite, and the idea of attaching it to the edge was a way to showcase both papers to the best.
Stamps and Embossing
Since the floral bouquet was from a piece of DSP, there was no stamping involved. But you generally need a sentiment. So the Cottage Rose stamp set, which matches the Abigail Rose DSP, came in to the card. Only using the simply done sentiment was a bolder move than I usually do. By embossing the sentiment, it helped it to stand out more, and it tied it to the thin White layer of the card. The hardest part was deciding where to place the sentiment! Who would want to cover up the pretty bouquet?
The final touch was to add some bling! Adding three of the Pearls Basic Jewels was a method of bringing in a bit more White plus bling. Using three different sizes worked on this card with all of the open space on the green DSP piece.
