Lots of folks are getting into the coloring craze and paper crafters are no different. Many of us, myself included, are not able to draw a stick figure but boy can we color one that is drawn for us. I’m sharing an easy backgrouond coloring technique with the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper.
Brian king shared a recent project where he colored just the background of a piece of the black and white Love You Always Designer Paper. I loved that idea so much that I tried it out on a piece of very floral Peony Garden designer paper. Stampin Blends are perfect for this technique as it goes on smoothly with no streaks.
The 12×12 Peony Garden Designer Paper was cut to 4 x 6. A piece was colored with Light Misty Moonlight Stampin blends, the other with Light Mango Melody Stampin blends. When I cut down the Misty Moonlight to fit a card front I was left with a piece that actually looked pretty neat on the reverse side even with misty moonlight ink showing through so I used that for the sentiment.
The Prized Peony bundle from the Annual Catalog has wonderful dies including leaves and borders. My card featured both, each from Mint Macaron cardstock.
