Coloring Down the Lines – Thanks

Happy Wednesday Stampers!

The weather is crazy here.  It is so nice and actually warm.  Later this week it is supposed to be mid 70’s.  I have a feeling we will pay for this gorgeous weather later in the year.  I hope you are having great weather where you are.

Today is our Coloring Down the Lines blog hop.  This week our colors were chosen by me.  I felt we needed some colors other than holiday or Fall.

Stampin’ Up color matches

I pulled out the Birthday Blossoms set as I thought I would use the cluster of flowers.  I stamped them in Night of Navy and then using ink in the lid and a blender pen I colored in the flowers.  Once I had my flowers colored I used my Dazzling Details to add a bit of sparkle to the center of the flowers.  I let this dry overnight as it takes these a while to dry.  Once my centers were dry, I used the Curvy Corner Trio punch to add some interest to 2 of the corners.  I then took a piece of vellum and colored on one side with my markers.  I stamped the other side with the flowered butterfly from Papillon Potpourri.  I punched it out using the small butterfly punch when it was dry.  I masked the “Thanks” in the stamp set from For All Things and inked it with Night of Navy.  I stamped it and using the banner punch I flagged  both ends of the word.  After I mounted it on Night of Navy I used dimensionals and added it to my card.  My original plan was to use Smoky Slate but when I had my front layer done I had not used it.  Here is my creation.
