Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - May 2020 | All Things Crafty - Favorite Coloring Tools

Welcome to the May 2020 edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!  Twenty-three of my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator friends - both old and new - are joining me in this worldwide hug that stretches all the way from New Zealand to Hawaii across thirteen different time zones.  Together we will share sunshine with you through projects from our individual parts of the world on the second Wednesday of each month.

We are glad you have joined us and look forward to spending time with you as we share some projects and our favorite coloring tools.  So sit back and enjoy your favorite cuppa as you enjoy your trip Around the World on Wednesday!

Nothing like an ink pad, an acrylic block, a water spritzer 

and Thick Whisper White cardstock to create a fun smoosh background!

Daffodil Delight and Lovely Lipstick ink pads were used here with the Clear Block B.

And then once it's dry... cover it up with an intricate layer of Whisper White cardstock

created with one of the Poppy Moments dies.

Better, yet, make it THREE (3) layers the same size.

Then add some glue in the openings with the Fine Tip Glue Pen

and you have a lovely Stained Glass background.

As I mentioned last month, give me an Aqua Painter with some ink and

I'm a happy stamper!  For today's project, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green

and Lovely Lipstick inks were used with a damp brush tip to watercolor 

the poppy center and the leaves.

A sponge dauber with Whisper White ink added some softness to the 

Granny Apple Green Scripty embossed layer complimenting the watercolored accents.

A strip of striped Custom Artistry Paper aka CAP - 

my term for recreating DSP that I love (read about it here) - 

was created with the brush tip of a Dark Granny Green Stampin' Blends Marker

to add a touch of vertical color.  Two fussy cut sentiments were adhered with glue 

while the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon added a finishing touch. 

Attention to the inside of the card and the envelope are always very important aspects in my card projects.  Plus there always need to be room to write.... here the top panel showcases a diecut panel of my favorite CAP alternate II color palette mentioned in yesterday's blog post! 

The remaining layers were all repeated just like the front.  

Stripes were added to the Whisper White envelope front and flap adding a scrap piece of paper inside the envelope to make sure bleeding to another side did not occur.

I hope this project has given you some inspiration to think what your favorite coloring tools are and to maybe try something new with your own creativity.  Mine are all in bold, italics above!  Now, hop along with me, Angie McKenzie, to see more Wednesday inspirations from my amazing friends Around the World.  Just click the daisy below to go to Mary’s blog to see what her favorite coloring tools are when she's creating, or scroll down the name list to follow along because you sure don't want to miss any.
