One of the things I love the most about crafting is coloring. As a kid I could not wait for Santa to bring another coloring book and a new box of crayons. And to get a box of crayons with a pencil sharpener-jack pot!!! Today, I am much, much older and still love coloring. My coloring tools have grown from crayons to markers, chalk, sponges, daubers, blending brushes, colored pencils and aqua painters.
For today’s card I used Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue inks to add color with Blending Brushes. The dragonflies and greeting were stamped in Memento Black ink. I used my Paper snips to cut a dragonfly border and added a layer of Daffodil Delight that is dry embossing using the Hammered Metal embossing folder.
The photo above is the inside of my card where I added a strip of the embossed Daffodil Delight along the right side.
