Sometimes I like to do a little colouring. I find it a good way to relax and let my mind drift a little. Line images like this from the Beauty Abounds stampset are perfect for colouring.
I stamped the floral flourish in Mint Macaron ink and coloured it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in Old Olive and Rococo Rose. The saturated colours of the Stampin' Blends are so vibrant and these markers make it so easy to blend shades to get the effect you want.
Once the image was coloured I cut it out and mounted it on a mat of Pear Pizazz cardstock before adding it to a Whisper White card base.
Stamping a matching image on the envelope is a special touch that makes a card stand out as handmade and unique.
