Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens

 

Hello my stampin' friends! Today I want to show you a card that I made for Card Buffet. I wanted to get back to Simple Stamping with this card because at Card Buffet I try to keep things simple and less expensive.  Card Buffet is sort of my intro to stamping event. I provide a variety of card for people to choose from and I keep them simple so that I made the event inexpensive. This card fits the bill and is still very pretty and fun to make.  

I used the large flower from the Simply Beautiful stamp set in Calypso Coral to make the focal point for my background.  I added some Old Olive springs and Peach Pie accent stamps to gill in the remainder of the background.  

To color in the flower I used Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils.  I only added color to the petals close to the flower center and left the tips of the petals white. 

 Next I used a Blender Pen to soften the coloring. I blended out where the color ended, still leaving a bit of the tips white. Notice in the photo below how the petals closest to the pen have been blended, compared to the others that I haven't gotten to yet.

 

                                You can see a full how to for this card on my YouTube Channel.
