Stampin' Blend Markers

True Love is Designer Series Paper

Creating cards with the True Love black and white paper pack is not only easy but quick. This card came together in a matter of minutes. The only part that took a bit of time was the coloring of the flowers. Even that can be quick when using the Stampin’ Blend markers.

I love these alcohol markers because the combo pack of light and dark makes blending a breeze. Check out the variety of colors in the annual catalog on pages 122-123.

Supplies

Basic Black Cardstock- 5½ x 8½, 3-1/8 x 5-5/8,1½ x 2½,

Directions

Score Basic Black cardstock in landscape position at 4¼. Fold & burnish.
Attach 2 x 5¼ strip of True Love DSP to the left side of card front.
Layer the True Love dotted DSP panel to the Basic Black panel and then layer to the 3¼ x 4¾ Basic White panel. Layer all to the card front as shown above.
Stamp greeting in Memento Black ink on white cardstock and crop using the Double Oval Punch. I used the thank you from Beauty of Friendship, but you have a ton of options, so go crazy.
Crop a scallop oval in Basic Black using the Double Oval Punch.
Layer the greeting oval to the black oval and attach to card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Color several flowers and leaves from the True Love DSP and use paper snips to fussy cut and attach to front of card.
Add 4 x 5¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

There are a few different layers to this card, but it really does come together quickly and the pop of color created with the Stampin’ Blend markers is the perfect finish to an elegant card. This would make a great wedding or anniversary card. I hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

True Love and Highland Heather

I love all the flower designs that come in the True Love Designer Series paper pack. They are especially beautiful when colored with the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. Tulips are my favorite flowers and I love that they bloom in a variety of colors. The only bad thing, they don’t stay in bloom long.
