Hope & Faith Card

Paula has a style. Like Dee’s work, you can spot it when you turn a magazine page or see an example of good art in a rubber stamp store. It’s distinct. Many love it and that’s why she is published so much! Look at Scrap & Stamp Art’s collector’s quality Just Cards magazines and you will find about 10% of the content is Paula’s.

Here she’s taken only two corresponding colors but has made them fascinating and dynamic by blending them. What blends colors best? Blending Blox, specially formulated to harmoniously blend a corresponding family of gradated colors.

One more feature, like her trademark, is often found in her work to give a tad of texture and curious interest? String! It wouldn’t be as good without it.

• Color flower from set with markers. Mist with water and stamp onto white cardstock. Cut out when dry. Ink three blocks from set with orange blending blox ink. Stamp onto white cardstock. Cut out one. Stamp shadow lines with turquoise blending blox ink onto white cardstock. Cut around leaving a small white border. Wrap cord around cut out block and curl end with a toothpick. Punch hole for brad in flower and insert. Mount flower and block to shadow lines.

• Trim a dark turquoise panel and notch corners. Layer to a larger white panel. Wrap cord around center of pieces securing ends to the back with tape.

• Ink three blocks again with orange blending blox ink. Stamp in rows as shown onto a white card. Use border punch at center sides. Tape pieces of white cardstock to the back side of border punch outs. Layer card to a larger dark turquoise card. Layer these two cards to a folded white card.
