Just like Milk & Cookies or Peanut Butter & Jelly, somethings are just better together! That’s the case with the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper from the Petal Passion Suite. The 12″ x 12″ Petal Passion Designer Series Paper comes in a package of 12 different floral and geometric prints in black & white
. In this card I’ve used one of the prints (shown on the right side of the card) and colored the flowers and leaves with the Stampin’ Blends Markers. This paper makes shading a highlighting as easy as a paint by number picture. Notice how the flowers are two toned? Well the designer paper is a white background with flowers that are outlined in black and are shaded in gray. All I did was used the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends to color the “gray shaded areas” of the flower then I went back over the rest of the flower with the Light Calypso Coral Marker. I did the same things with the Light & Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for the leaves. It makes such pretty paper, doesn’t it?
I stamped the sentiment and small flowers from Petal Palette stamp set on a 2″ x 2″ piece of Whisper White cardstock in Memento Ink (that’s the ink you want to be using with the Stampin’ Blends). I colored in the flowers with the Light Calypso Coral and added little low lights with the Dark Calypso Coral. This layer was attached to a scallop square I cut out using the Layering Square Framelits. The pretty ribbon you see is a piece of the 1/4″ Whisper White Organza Ribbon that I colored with the Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Marker. This ribbon has been such a big seller, they actually took it off the products that can be ordered. They’re expecting a big shipment of the ribbon in next week, so then we’ll be able to order it again.
