I have a brother-in-law who is an avid golfer. I think he holds down a full-time job and still manages to golf multiple times per week, even in tournaments. So, when I saw the Country Club Suite I knew I would have to purchase it.
This is how I imagine he looks. Swinging his club with a beautiful grove of trees in the background. Two of the sheets of the Country Club Designer Series Paper are black and white images perfect for coloring. No Stamping required. I opted to use watercolor pencils for a soft colored look. These are the pencils I used. Stampin Up sells two sets of watercolor pencils, I have all of mine in one case. I’m sure there are some from both sets. The two without labels were from a kit a couple of years ago.
Here’s a closer look at the image.
I used three colors of green on the trees: Granny Apple Green, Old olive and Garden Green. Once all my coloring was complete I blended the colors with a Blender Pen. These are of course Watercolor Pencils but since this wasn’t watercolor paper I felt the blender pen would do a better job.
There are lots of elements in this suite. Even if you don’t have a golfer in your circle, the paper is perfect for masculine cards. One side has golf-related imagery but the other is primarily plaids. I’m a sucker for a pretty plaid.

Such a great showcase of how easy it is to step up this black-and-white paper. Your coloring is wonderful! I adore the emblem in the top, right corner. Love it!
