Stampin' Up! True Love DSP and So Sentimental Bundle Sponge Brayered Thank You Card.

Hello friends.

A quick post today as I just want to show you the last card (for now) in my series of 4 cards showing different ways to colour neutral patterned paper with ink and other Stanpin' Up! supplies (using the lovely black and white floral themed True Love Designer Series Paper as our base). I will link to the other 3 cards below.

Today's card is super simple, as I have just used one colour in my colouring (Flirty Flamingo) and a sponge brayer.

Sponge brayers are a really affordable tool in your papercraft tool box. The Stampin' Up! sponge brayers are great value. For $14, you get 2 handles and 4 inter-changeable sponge roller heads (the die base inks wash out with water too). I like the soft effect you can get with them. I just start with a gradual slow build up of colour and add more as I go (I demonstrate the technique of using our Stampin' Up! sponge brayers in THIS VIDEO on my You Tube channel, if you would like to see them in action on a different card).

Here's what I have done to put my card together after I completed the sponging:

• I have a Basic Black card base, which I have embossed using the gorgeous Ornate Floral embossing folder for a little more texture and interest.
• My coloured DSP is on a mat of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and that's another scrap of the True Love DSP under the sentiment.
• My sentiment is from the So Sentimental stamp set and the coordinating Stitched So Sweetly dies (still available as a 10% discount bundle). 
• Finally I have arranged some of the Artistry Blooms Sequins (LOVE these adhesive sequins) around my sentiment.

This card was easy and fun. By mixing up the colours, and using different sentiments, you could easily make up a batch of these cards in a stamping session.

So to summarise, here are the four ways of colouring the True Love patterned paper I have blogged about.

• Colouring with Stampin' Blend Markers (find that post HERE)
• Colouring with the new Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes including a video tutorila (find that post HERE)
• Colouring with Watercolor Pancils (find that post HERE)
• Colouring with sponge brayers (this post)
