My east coast and northern blog followers have had a tough, long winter so I thought a little springtime card would help to warm them up! This card uses the Floral Statements stamp set and boasts a bold greeting surrounded by beautiful blooms. Those blooms were colored using Stampin’ Blends with a fun mix of colors.
The center of the flowers were colored using the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends combo markers. I then blended the Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends into the Daffodil Delight for a beautiful transition of color. The secret is going back over the darker colored areas to remove the hard lines so the two colors blend evenly to create shading. Be sure to use Whisper White Thick cardstock with the Stampin’ Blends. This cardstock has a heavier weight allowing the color to penetrate the paper and blend easier.
The Petal Burst embossing folder provides a simple textured background and the perfect surface to add several iridescent sequins.
