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.

Little Mermaid ~ Message in a Bottle set

One of the stamp sets I was most excited to get is this Message in a Bottle stamp set.  I have an 8 year old daughter who just loves mermaids, so I knew this would be a fun set for her, but I also like all the other images as well as the sayings in this set.  So fun and cute! 

My daughter has a birthday pool party tonight, so I was happy to get a change to use this set so soon.  Here is the card I made for the party.
I stamped the images on Shimmery White cardstock.  I love the extra shimmer it  has, and that it is sturdy enough for a card base and to withstand the Aqua Painters or Blender Pens.  For this card I used my Blender Pens.





The Foil Frenzy specialty paper is so fun! It has a Kraft base and bright foil patterns in Pool Party, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime twist and Tangerine Tango.
I added some strips behind the image for a fun shimmery look.







I added the new InColor bows because they are just so cute!!You get four of each color and they already have adhesive on the back so they are ready to go!









I made a quick video to show the step by step and the coloring process, check it out!
