I’ve been colouring the Inside the Lines DSP for the last few evenings, relaxing at my kitchen table after stressful work days. It really does help. There are days when I get home from work and my “creativity gene” is blown out and I find I can’t design a card. I can copy one I’ve already made or put a stamp set together but now I find, I can colour. And that is actually being creative – much more fun than tidying up or building a wood block stamp set!
I pulled out a bunch of watercolor pencils and decided to stick to pinks and reds for the flowers, so melon mambo, rich razzleberry, real red, calypso coral and old olive. I also used a blender pen. It’s been a lot of fun colouring my own DSP – I have no idea why I took so long to pull out this paper. I also have no idea why I didn’t design the card first and not color the parts under the sentiment, but I guess it wasn’t about the final product but about the journey. I encourage you to pull out the Inside the Lines DSP and relax yourself. And once you’ve done that, you’ve the base for a pretty card – I put mine on a base of old olive and used Suite Sayings in melon mambo for the sentiment. I kept it pretty simple with the stitched shapes framelits dies because the DSP is the main part of the card.
In case you’re wondering about the pot – it’s one that my father made for my mother to keep things in on her bedroom dresser. He’s pretty awesome with the lathe!
