You know how adult coloring books are all the rage?  Well, now you can do some adult coloring with Paisleys & Posies stamp set.  This is the shoe box swap card Gail shared at our Girls Get Away Weekend.  It was my favorite because of the bright cheeriness and the fact that it has lots of coloring.

Today’s Color Palette

Ready, Set, Cut

Calypso Coral: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ for card base

and 2 1/2″ x 3/8″ for banner

Night of Navy: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Whisper White: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″

and scraps for Posie Die Cuts

The first thing you’re going to do for this card is stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy on the Whisper White card stock.   This will ensure that you have room for the words, where as if you’re like me, you may get carried away with too many posies, then there’s not room for the sentiment.  Next stamp the various posies from Paisleys & Posies in Night of Navy ink randomly all  over the card stock making sure to leave some open white space.  Now the fun comes in where you can color to your hearts content.  As much as I love this card, I’ll admit, I will not be making a stack of them simply because it took me about an hour to color this one.  Don;t get me wrong, it was wonderfully relaxing to color, but who’s got that kind of time to make a stack of them, right?  So anyway, I colored in with the Calypso Coral and Marina Mist Stampin’ Write Markers, and added a few Rhinestones here and there.  Also, if you look closely you’ll be able to see that some of the posies are cut out with the coordinating Paisley Framelits Dies and popped up with Dimensionals.  Don’t you just love the way it looks?
