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.
