Welcome to this week’s Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge.  A fabulous pallet for Fabulous Florets, don’t you think?

The daffodils have been up for a couple of weeks and I’m ready to see the beautiful colors of spring.  This bouquet is for those of you that are freezing in parts of the country.

How can you make your own bouquet?  First, start with a great stamp set.

Fabulous Florets #123024 [c]

Stamp the line-art pieces on Whisper White card stock with StaZon Jet Black and color with Blender Pens and ink.  Then, “fussy cut” them out.

Next, attach a doily to the front and stamp the solid leaf and stem image directly on the doily with StazOn Jet Black. Detail the leaves and stem with a Black Stampin’ Write Marker with quick, light strokes using the writing tip.

Attach flowers and leaf with Glue Dots and Dimensionals.  Add Pearls Basic Jewels to the flower centers and you’re done!

Blender Pen Coloring Tip:

When coloring on Whisper White or Very Vanilla don’t overwork. Applying pressure and ink over and over will cause the paper to “pill”. Highlights and shading can also be added with matching Stampin’ Write markers.

Give it a try.  You’ll have a beautiful spring garden in no time at all.  Then share it on Pals Paper Arts.
