Even though there is so much wonderful stuff to choose from (I can't wait to get my hands on suzy's new paintables!!) you know I had to go to the flowers immediately.
Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to the flowers.
However I've worked 60 hours this week.
Momma tired.
so...tired...
but I wanted a rainbow . .and my stress relief is cardmaking and coloring so I switched it up.
Instead of getting out a hundred markers to color the flowers rainbow colors I decided to create a super quick background with distress ink and color white flowers
I finally found some time to get the video together so you can watch the card come together in the video below.
White flowers are pretty easy to color and you can add a pop of color with any color at all. Just add a lot or a little for whatever look you're going for. I chose a few pastels so they would really pop off that background.
Thanks so much for joining us today!
