Who can resist the Animal Outing stamp set which features a frog, a giraffe, a koala bear, a bird, a kangaroo and a rhino? I hand stamped today’s card using the giraffe and the frog.
The leaves paper from the Share What You Love Designer Series paper made the perfect backdrop. I colored the pearl using the Daffodil Delight Dark Stampin’ Blends. Being able to custom color embellishments to go with your particular cards is such a plus.
Today’s color palette is Stampin’ Up! colors, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Old Olive, Soft Suede and the Basic Black.
Do you enjoy coloring? I sometimes find it very relaxing and give my brain time to rest. Not everyone enjoys coloring so pick your stamp sets accordingly. Solid stamps provide color when you stamp them and outline sets are designed to color the blank space.
You don’t always have to color an outline image, but most often they look best if you do. Imagine this card if I had not colored in the giraffe, tree and frog.
