Designing with Stampin'Up! Free In the Country Stamps with a LITTLE Coloring
January 17, 2023
Today we're Designing with Stampin'Up! Free In the Country Stamps with a LITTLE Coloring. This pretty little stamp set has two beautiful images...and at first glance you may consider passing it by because it appears to need coloring. Well, I think there are several designs that would lend themselve to quick and easy cards with little to no coloring.
This is the stamp set...In the Country (#160828)
and here's our first card...
As you can see, we did just a small amount of coloring--it makes the image pop--but if you really don't like to color you can just go with no coloring at all. Except for the door the coloring of the plants & flowers is done by dotting with the Blends markers--the images are rather 'vague' so that you don't have to worry about being inside the line....simply dot around the image with the markers.
This is one of those cards that is really useful for just about any occasion--birthdays, anniversaries, thinking of you....well, you get the idea. So it's a good idea to make a stack and have them ready in your stash
The card design itself is quite simple--we outlined the image and the designer paper with a slim black borders--this helps add definition to these two parts of your card. All the cutting takes less than 5 mintues.
