In The Country

WOW!!

What an awesome stamp set this is!

I used the 'In The Country'- FREE Sale-a-bration choice with a $50 product order.

I colored it using Watercolor Pencils & Blender Pens.

I think it turned out just gorgeous!

This card is one that everyone stamping with me at my 

February classes will be making.

This is what it looked like before I used the Blender Pen.

 

How did I do it?

*Stamp image onto Shimmery White card stock, using Black Stazon ink pad.

NOTE:  You will not want to use a Memento ink when coloring with the Blender Pens

or the ink will bled & run.

*Color image by squiggling, using Water Color Pencils. 
NOTE that I did NOT color the images in real well......I just squiggled the colors onto the cardstock.

*I then blended the colors using a Blender Pen.

So what do you think?

This is a totally Susie card & I love it!

 

Notice how I added some YELLOW dots within the grass for flowers!
