Birthday Blossom Birthday

I always need a reason to use up some of the Designer Paper. I seem to buy a lot and never use it. It's so pretty I just want to hoard it. I'm not sure why that is.

I made these cards highlighting the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper, and I'm so glad I did. I think both of these cards are just so stunning. The flowers are from the Birthday Blossom stamp set and I've colored them in using a watercolor technique using a blender pen immediately after I stamp the image. I just love how the coloring turns out when I do this.

In case you haven't noticed, I'm also trying to get away from all of the purples and going outside my comfort zone and using different colors. I'm really happy I am, as there are SO many different colors, and they are all so great!

I hope you like my cards today. Please leave me a message below and let me know, or just to say "Hi!"

Thank you for stopping by. Happy a great day, and Happy Stampin!
