The new Stampin' Up! stamp set called Accented Blooms was just calling my name! I really wanted to wait until the new Stampin' Blends colors were available to color this gorgeous floral image, but, I couldn't wait! I used the colors I had and I love the results!
I stamped the large image from the Accented Blooms stamp set in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock, then colored it with my Stampin' Blends markers. Check out the tip below for outlining your image with the Pool Party Stampin' Blends markers.. it really makes the image POP!
Find these Stampin' UP! products in your 2018-2019 Annual Catalog or at the online links below:
- Accented Blooms stamp set, pg 19, available in Wood Mount #146678 or clear mount #146681
- Stampin' Blends markers, pg 205, or here online
- Memento Black ink pad, pg 203, #132708
- Tailored Tag punch, pg 211, #145667
When you outline the image this way, angle your marker almost parallel with the paper and use the marker "flat" (not the tip).. hope that makes sense? Go around the outside of the image, and voila! You can use either the light or dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends depending on how light or dark you want your outline.
Below: I stamped the "hello" greeting with the Grapefruit Grove ink pad (a new In Color for 2018-2020) on a Whisper White cardstock scrap, and punched it out with the Tailored Tag punch .. you might have this punch if you purchased it in the Occasions catalog with the "Father's Day" set/bundle.
I popped up the hello image with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The card base is Calypso Coral for both top-fold cards. The extra layer on the card on the left is Grapefruit Grove, and the striped layer is from the 2018-2020 In Color 6×6 paper stack, pg 191, #146963

Good morning Patty,
Gorgeous cards. Your coloring with the blends are perfect. Thanks for the tip about how to outline. It really does make the flowers pop…. Thanks for sharing….Have a great day.
Gorgeous! I wanted this stamp set anyway and I have the punch. So, once I get the stamp set, I will be trying your outline tip. Congrats on your anniversary for being a demo. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us.
