Thanks for checking in today for the Color Fusers blog hop where I am sharing a gorgeous card made with the Mixed Florals Bundle. This project uses 3 colors from the 2024-2026 In Colors, and they are perfect for thinking Spring!
How I thought I didn’t need the Mixed Florals bundle is beyond me. But since getting it, I have used it a -ton-! It’s gorgeous, and simple, and oh so fun to color! It’s part of a larger suite, which also includes the Mixed Labels Dies, used to cut the sentiment on today’s project, plus gorgeous paper.
Today’s project is watercolored with a Water Painter and ink from an ink pad. It’s one of my favorite ways to color! I squish a clear block into the pad to pick up ink, then use the Water Painter to pull ink from the block to color. It’s easy, and allows for varying intensities of color. However, I have also used Stampin’ Blends and watercolor pencils, and all are so fun!
In the Details
I used black as an accent to give the details on this project a little ‘pop’! It’s a great way to create a dramatic effect. The adorable sentiment is from the Keeping Tabs Stamp Set. I love this set for its variety of sentiments and the small size, lending itself to just about any project. And creating a shimmery background with glimmer paper is as simple as a die cut.

Welcome to the February Color Fusers Blog Hop where I am sharing a project made with the milk and cookies from the Perfect Pairs Stamp Set. This set is so adorable, and I had so much fun creating it with this month’s color challenge.
What I love most about this stamp set is the adorable whimsical images. They are just so cute! And the line art allows plenty of opportunity to color – which is always fun! The images truly are perfect pairs, and what goes together better than milk and cookies!
#164898 Perfect Pairs Stamp Set
The images on today’s card are heat embossed, then colored with both Stampin’ Write Markers and Stampin’ Blends.
This project is layered up with texture, starting with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I love how it looks when the layer is angled before embossing, which I did on this project. Next, I brought in the designer series paper, with the soft subtle colors and patterns. And finally, the piercing on the circle die cut. It all works so well together.
To finish it off, I added some beautiful Purple Adhesive-Backed Sequins and a black twine bow. The sequins can actually be earned free! Between now and February 28th, you may choose them as a free gift with a qualifying purchase of $60 or more as part of the Sale-a-bration promotion!
