Coloring Made Easy!

Stampin-Up-Youve-Got-This-Teeny-Tiny-Wishes-Leaf-Punch-Stampin-Blends-Debra-Simonis-Stampinup

This week I was able to color images using my new Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.  These new markers make it easy to blend colors and add both shading and highlights!  Demonstrators were able to purchase them in October, but starting November 1st, Stampin’ Blends will be available for you to order too!

Let me tell you – these markers are going to change the way you think about coloring.  Coloring made easy?  Count me in!

Card Recipe

Stamp Set – You’ve Got This, Painted Harvest, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink – Momento Black
Cardstock – Lemon Lime Twist, Calypso Coral, Basic Black, Whisper White
Accessories – Stampin’ Blend Markers in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Color Lifter; Circles Framelits, Big Shot, Banner Triple Punch, Leaf Punch, Embossing Paste, Palette Knives, Pattern Party Decorative Masks, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive

When you are planning your purchase of Stampin’ Blends Markers choose 2 or 3 colors, 1 or 2 neutrals and the Color Lifter.  Each color marker comes in both a light and dark shade.  That along with the Color Lifter gives you lots of options for shading and highlighting.

Stampin’ Blends are much easier to use than other alcohol markers on the market.  Blending colors is easy and quick!  You won’t have to invest a lot of time coloring to get great results with the new Stampin’ Blends.

If you are like me, you might want the full set markers.  The current offering includes 10 colors (2 markers per color) 2 neutrals (2 markers per color),  Bronze and Ivory for skin tones and the Color Lifter.  This would be a great birthday or Christmas gift for your significant other to purchase.

On Nov. 1st a new Color Me Happy Project Kit and Stamp Set will be available.  But, I’ll save that for another post.
