How to Add Color to Black and White Cards
using the new Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!
and Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write Markers
I’m here to help with this quick and easy card using Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper.
Sometimes a simple black-and-white print is the touch of elegance a paper project needs, and the Perfectly Penciled 12″ x 12″ DSP is just that—simply elegant!
With hand-drawn florals and graphic patterns, this set has gorgeous neutral patterns for every occasion.
And if you love the patterns but still want some color, the outline designs are perfect for trying your hand at coloring!
Whether it be watercolor paints, alcohol markers, or blending inks, simply gather your favorite coloring tools and get to work.
I used Stampin’ Blends for this card to add a pop of color!
Here’s How:
- Start with a piece of 3 1/4″ x 5″ Perfectly Penciled DSP and a scrap piece of Basic Black card stock.
- Using the scallop border die found in Basic Borders Dies, cut the top from the Basic Black card stock using a die-cut machine.
- Attach the cut pieces to the DSP. Attach to Poppy Parade mat.
- Color flowers using Stampin’ Blends or Stampin’ Write markers. For this card, I used Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends.
- Stamp greeting* on Basic White card base using Poppy Parade ink. Attach card front.
- Add Black Classic Matte Dots to complete.
*I used the greeting from Dragonfly Garden. Because I only wanted to use the “thank you” part of the greeting, I inked that part only using a Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Marker. This technique works best if you have a positioning tool like the Stamparatus just in case you don’t get a good stamped image and need to ink and stamp again.
