Color Fusers Blog Hop February 2023

Well it’s already the second blog hop for Color Fusers for 2023. January flew by and in came February. Not our normal red and pink color combination for February so I am excited to share with you what I came up with. Do you find it challenging or welcoming when you are assigned a task with specific colors? I love the challenge and truly welcome it! WHY? Because it sets me up to think outside the box and see what I can come up with. I also love hopping through the blog and see what the others came up with. Let’s see what I designed for the Color Fusers Blog Hop February 2023.

My Project:

I was all set to do some watercoloring but after 3 attempts I decided to move on. Grabbing a set from the annual catalog, I knew I could highlight all the colors! Hoping you like what you see and will want to copy! I haven’t used Jars of Flowers in quite some time. It was fun using it. I love the pale payapa ribbon. It’s the perfect touch to the card.

The Details:

Like clock work, after I created one card, I immediately had to create another one. Although the image is on the smaller scale, coloring with Stampin’ Blends did the job. I love the shading and I love that each flower was able to have it’s own color.

  • cut cardstock 4 1/4″ x 11″
  • score at 5 1/2″
  • cut layering card stock 4″ x 5 1/4″
  • cut basic white 1″ x 5″, 1 1/2 x 5″, 2 3/4″ x 5, 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
  • layer one white with calypso coral 3″ x 4 1/2″
  • with the 2 white strips, stamp the pattern from the jars of flowers stamp set (see below for pattern)
  • stamp image in memento ink on the other white pieces
  • use Stampin’ Blends to color image
  • stamp sentiment from the beautifully happy stamp set
  • use the oval punch to enhance sentiment
  • assemble card as shown – remember the ribbon!
  • add some opal gems to finish cards

I created my own pattern paper with one of the stamps in the set.

The flowers may be small but can be colored with the stampin’ blends.

Love adding the ribbon to the image to cover where the two stamps meet.
