Happy World Card Making Day from Salt Lake City, UT!
A couple of years ago I received a gorgeous gift of Polychromos colored pencils for Christmas, and I like to practice as often as I can! With tips from coloring guru Kathy Racoosin and honest critiques from my former-art-teacher sister, I am getting the hang of things.
This beautiful background stamp from Simon Says Stamp showcases a pretty mix of blooms. I like to stamp a background and color while binge-watching true crime television shows. All you need is your stamped image, your colored pencils, and a good pencil sharpener, and you are all set!
I actually colored this background earlier this year, and I had it waiting to be made into a card. I keep a little clear zippered pocket with ready-to-go bits and pieces for card making.
I hope you have a magnificent day doing what you love! Card making ROCKS!
