I started by coloring a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ panel of black-and-white Designer Series Paper with soft pink and soft green. I wasn’t sure where it would go from there, but I snipped away at the colored design, layered in a couple of elements and added a sweet sentiment. These additions gave me just what I wanted for this sweet-and-simple-and-layered “thinking of you” card:
It all started with a gorgeous page of flowers from the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper. The flowers and stems were SO EASY to color because they were already beautifully highlighted in the design. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper:
I used Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends to color the images on this panel of papers – it turned out great, but that’s not really a testament to my amazing coloring skills. It was so easy to make this paper look great! Here’s a closer look:
I don’t know what kind of flower this is (and I don’t know if they would be found in nature as Petal Pink), but they sure are beautiful, don’t you think?
The sentiment on my card is pulled from the beautiful Flowering Tulips stamp set. While both the stamp set and coordinating dies are carrying forward into Stampin’ Up!’s 2022 Annual Catalog, the bundled price (10% off when you buy both together) goes away on June 30. Here’s a look at the Flowering Tulips Bundle:
To add a little something different, I added a black band with a diagonal cut. The black elements on this card help to define the softness and warmth of the other colors on the card. All of these colors look great on a “thinking of you” or “sympathy” card, don’t you think? If you like this mix of Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink and Crumb Cake as much as I do, I hope you will save this for future reference:
Stamp Sets: Flowering Tulips Papers: Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper, Crumb Cake, Soft Sea Foam, Basic Black, Vellum Cardstock, Thick Basic White Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Blends (Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam) Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
