Today's Project

I just found out this past week why I have been feeling so poorly... and it looks like I am still in recovery mode and will be for a while...  so I enjoyed creating my own Custom Artistry Paper for today's cards!  I hope that you enjoy them!

Project Details

Inspired by a coloring technique found on page 58 in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, I just knew that this sick momma needed to have some fun coloring time while resting.  The Blessings of Home stamp set is perfect for creating your own backgrounds to color.

Custom Artistry Paper created with the Blessings of Home stamp set and 2021-2023 In Colors Stampin' Blends | Nature's INKspirations by Angie McKenzie

Smoky Slate was used to randomly stamp the large floral image on Basic White Cardstock.  The images were colored with love for several hours - such a relaxing past time - with the 2021-2023 In Color Stampin' Blends!  I absolutely love these colors and I highly recommend them to anyone!  I loved blending the Pale Papaya with the Polished Pink to create a Calypso Coral color... these colors remind me so much of my interior design days in the mid-1980s... definitely "me" colors!

Just a portion of the Custom Artistry Paper (CAP) was used to create these two cards.  The CAP layers were layered on Evening Evergreen Cardstock and embossed layers of Pale Papaya Cardstock.  The new Gingham Embossing Folder and Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder were used to emboss the Pale Papaya card layers.  (NOTE:  At the time of this blog post going live, the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder is currently unavailable for ordering due to the current supply and demand situation.  A lovely substitute would be the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog.)  The Amazing Thanks Dies were used to create the Calypso Coral sentiments that speak for themselves.  The standard card bases are Evening Evergreen.
