Blended Bloom

I struggled creating a card using this stamp set.  The image does not have leaves and the cards I have seen online are "missing" leaves.  I decided to offset the image, like I did on THIS posting.  After I colored the image I didn't care for the white space and a stamped sentiment made the card 'meh.  I am happy with the final card even though it took an hour to fill in the white space.

Blendabilities - Who Knew

I don't color well.  I mean, my coloring is ALWAYS lousy.  That is until Stampin' Blendabilities came on the market.  There are so many great YouTube videos that show you how, step, by step.  My FAVORITE how to is not on YouTube; I discovered a handy guide created by Kaitlyn.  Click HERE for the link to that guide.

Kaitlyn also was the inspiration for my bookmarks.
