The stamping of this Stampin’ Up! Partridge & Pears card would have been quick. Stamp the tree, the greeting and pear in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Stamp, stamp, stamp, done. Then came the part that she had to sit and color. And color. You can lose yourself in a task that keeps you busy while requiring you to remain still in one place. Just thinking about it, don’t you feel your blood pressure lower as you take a deep sigh?
Hopefully then the card artist enjoyed time visiting with family or friends while coloring here Partridge & Pears cards (more than 100 for the swap) with the Blendabilities Markers. The Blendabilities made it easy to have all that beautiful shading. What’s the first thing about this handmade Christmas card you notice. Was it the two-tone leaves? For me it is.
I like how she mixed it up with some of the leaves darker on the right and others on the left side. If I had to venture a guess, I’d say she used the Light Old Olive Blendabilities and Dark Old Olive Blendabilities for the leaves. Nice contrast.
The pears were colored with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities Marker. Either the medium and darker, or light and medium. I believe that because you don’t see the big contrast as you do on the leaves.
The partridge was colored with Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. Oh, and Calypso Coral for his beak. With a little shading on his wing and under too, he’s looking like one styling bird.
All that’s left to do is color the tree with one of the Skin Tone Assortment Blendabilities and the berries with a Cherry Cobbler. The Blendabilities are cool because you can get beautiful shading and contrast without needing to be an art major. They make all of us look simply brilliant! Look at how eye-catching this card is with just a little shading.
Have you used the Blendabilities yet? To color with them is to love them. Everyone I’ve talked with anyone who has purchased them has enjoyed how easy they are to use with three shades for each color. Enough for the results you want without being overwhelmed by choices. That they are in Stampin’ Up! colors is the icing on the cake! The ease of coordination you have with the other color products.
Ease yourself into the peacefulness of coloring when you purchase the Blendabiities Markers in my online store! Be sure to also add the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad to you order.
