Stamptastic Friends are sharing coloring techniques today. Stampin’ Up! has so many coloring options it is hard to pick just one!
We have Inks, Blends, Watercolor Pencils, Water Coloring Brushes, Blending Pens, Sponge Daubers, & Blending Brushes. There may be more that I have forgotten!
I chose to share how you can use Sponge Daubers to ink up your stamps. The Daubers give your images dimension with very little effort. I always love easy techniques.
For these two cards I started by using a light color of ink. Ink your stamp well, then take a darker ink and brush around the edges of your image using the Sponge Dauber. Go lightly and use short strokes. Now you are ready to stamp. Every time you try this technique your image will change. That is what makes it so interesting.
On this card I used Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo.
The second card uses Fresh Freesia and Gorgeous Grape.
I hope you will be inspired to try other color combinations with this stamp set.

Today I am being very British and sharing cards created with my favourite colours. Yes, the Stamptastic Friends are hopping again and now that we are moved and settled in at our new home, I finally found time to create some much-needed cards.
Honestly, Coastal Cabana is my favourite colour ever. I hope it never retires!
I created a card that would be versatile for several occasions. Just change the sentiment and change the colours depending on the occasion.
This was such an easy card to make that I made 6 of them. 4 Thinking of You and 2 Sympathy.
During this stressful time, I have been sending more cards than usual. We cannot visit our family & friends in person, but we can certainly send paper hugs. I have been receiving about 2-3 cards a day from friends and it makes me so happy! Just going to the mailbox and seeing happy mail makes me smile and cheers my husband up also. How many cards are you sending? I hope you will consider sending those beautiful creations.
Make sure you hop on to the next Stamptastic Friend. You will be inspired by so many colour choices.
Thanks for stopping by today. Stay safe.

Today’s simple project uses Life is Grand (Occasions Catalog) paired with Painted Seasons Bundle (FREE with a $100.00 purchase). Painted Seasons is one stunning stamp set!
I took my color inspiration from a picture of beautiful succulents. Succulents come in so many different shades, shapes and colors. This card could be changed just by choosing different ink. Love that!
Large sentiments can make your cards pop. Life is Grand has the perfect font combination along with spot on greetings. Hello, Dear Friend is probably my favorite in the set. Which one is your favorite?
Want to create this look on your succulents? Ink up the stamp using Pear Pizzazz. Use a dauber to add Gorgeous Grape ink to the edge of your stamp blossom. Stamp directly on your card front. Make sure you CLEAN your stamp in between stamping so you don’t get Gorgeous Grape ink on your Pear Pizzazz ink pad. I also used a mask to cover up the blossoms before I added the leaves.
Simple cards can be a challenge
Keep this card simple with a couple of cardstock layers for interest. You can use your Stamparatus for the sentiment and mass produce this card with no mistakes. What is even better?? There are coordinating Four Seasons framelits to go with the Painted Seasons Bundle. Adding the framelits to your craft stash will make this set even more versatile.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I would love to hear from you. Leave me a comment.
I hope you have a wonderful stamping day!

Welcome to another Remarkable Ink Big Blog Hop. Today demonstrators from around the world are sharing sneak peeks of products from the New 2018 Occasions Catalog. You are going to love these creative cards and ideas!
Let’s get hopping….
I have created two cards using Petal Palette. This stamp set has beautiful watercolor type images. Just right for watercoloring, Blends, markers or watercolor pencils. They even look wonderful left uncolored. Bonus – they have matching thinlits.
My first card uses the bird image and I left him black and white. I like the bold lines and thought he looked classy sitting on the green branches. The designer paper is Merry Little Christmas and I sponged it with Pool Party ink to make the leaves have the blue cast to them.
As I am always in need of sympathy cards I decided to use this set and made several to put in my card stash. The roses and leaves are colored with the new Blends markers. I absolutely love the way this came together.
I know the other stampers will have some great ideas to share. Hop on over to Kadie Labadie to see what she has created for you.
Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Stamping!
