Just Buzzin’ By…

But, there is no bee in sight. I am no green thumb – so I colored these flowers how I wanted them to be colored – to match paper!! That is what any good stamper would do, right???

When the catalog first came out, I did a paper split. Of course, I kept a pack for myself. I kinda like the 6x6 pieces. Have you ever looked at a piece of 12 x 12 and thought – oh, I can't cut that up for a card. No worries anymore. Just do a paper split.

I am also following a Mojo Monday challenge. That is where the layout of this card has come from.

Isn't that paper just the most gorgeous thing you ever did see? I love it. I like the bright colors. Red is SO in and this paper shows it off beautifully!! The paper was the inspiration for my colors.

To color in the flowers, I stamped them first with Black Stazon. This is a very permanent ink and will not run (of course, I sell it J). Then, I "smooshed" my ink pad together to get ink in the lid. I paint out of the lid of my inkpad onto the flowers using the blender pens.

The little "with love" came from the Yummy set that you can get FREE right now with Sale-a-bration. Spend $50, get it free.
