Today's card is inspired by the color challenge at Global Design Project this week, and I used some of my favorites when I created it!
The flowers along the side are from the Jar of Flowers stamp set, and I heat embossed them in white on Misty Moonlight cardstock. Don't let the flowers in that set intimidate you - they don't necessarily have to be colored! I used Stampin' Write Markers to ink up my stamp. This is an easy way to get two colors on one image. If you don't feel like the coverage is as good as an ink pad, use your Stamparatus and you can ink multiple times until you get the look that you want.
I finished the card off with some Elegant Faceted Gems, and Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, colored with the Dark Petal Pink Stampin' Blends Marker.

Today's card was inspired by one I saw in our demonstrator Facebook group a week or two ago. I don't remember who shared the card, but she used Seaside Spray to color in the flowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set, and I loved that! I really like the color combination of Seaside Spray with the new in color Misty Moonlight, and I added in a few more colors to create my card. What do you think of this color combination?
I used my Stampin' Blends Markers to color the flowers - you can see a full list of colors below. Did you know that if you leave just a little bit of white on the edge when you color, it helps give the illusion of natural light on the flowers? I learned that tip from one of my team members during a recent team event. This was the first time I tried it, and I think it worked!
Other tips for using the Jar of Flowers set:
- The stamps are reversible, so I used the solid image of the smaller jar piece to "color" the water in the jar. I stamped Seaside Spray ink off once for a lighter shade.
- Make sure to stamp your stems lined up at the top of the jar, not the bottom!
- If the stems and flowers don't line up perfectly, it's ok! That's the perfect place to tie a ribbon.
I used another new stamp set for the sentiment - A Grand Kid. I obviously don't have any grandkids, but this set has a lot of great sentiments for everyone! You can pair any sentiments you like with the Jar of Flowers stamp set - it's very versatile.
