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.
