I’m a matchy-match type of person. If I’m going to put an embellishment on my project I want it to match perfectly. This is where today’s tip comes in.
This is a card that I designed for my classes this week using the Medium Daisy Punch. I could have just used a small circle punch for the center of the daisies but I wanted my flowers to have a little more pizzazz.
I checked my stash of embellishments and came upon some Faceted Gems. These gems come in clear and in gold. The gold ones were a little too…ah, well….gold for me. Not quite the yellow I was looking for. So what did I do? I took out my clear Faceted Gems and grabbed my Dark Daffodil Stampin’ Blend marker and colored those little gems. Perfection! Exactly what I was envisioning for the card!
I used the brush tip to color the gems and I will admit that coloring these textured gems did a number on my Stampin’ Blend marker. I won’t be able to color any really small areas with the tip but the marker still works and there’s always the other tip.
So you can see that not only can you color your ribbon with your Stampin’ Blends markers you can also color your embellishments! I love my Stampin’ Blends markers. Do you?
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
Oh….can you guess where I took Holly the other day? 😀
