Since my beloved Mark’IT Markers have been discontinued, the hunt for another fine tip marker led me to Faber-Castell Goldfaber Aqua Dual Markers. For their inaugural coloring adventure, I paired them with STAMPlorations Framed Flowers Colorables (you can see all of the Colorables Here).
I paired the colored images with two different panels from STAMPlorations Quick Cards #3 – Spring Florals A2 Card Fronts.
For the first one, I pulled in the Cadmium Yellow Lemon color from the floral panel and used it to color my blooms. It was so nice to have those strong outlines and no worry of ink smearing.

The sentiment is from Becca’s STAMPlorations Strong Women. I attached both it and the colored ATC with foam tape and finished with some gems in two corners.
For the next one, I used a similar recipe, but this time I used a circle die for the sentiment and positioned it in the center of the card..

I really love the purples in this one.
Remember, you can get ATCs or card fronts in sets or through the STAMPlorations paper subscriptions (how fun to get artsy goodies in the mail every months … and postage is included).
And, Sherry has graciously donated one pack of the STAMPlorations Framed Florals Colorables for one lucky person who comments on my blog and/or my @SmilynStef Instagram by the end of February. She’ll be giving away another set to one lucky person who comments on the STAMPlorations Blog, so make sure you head over there too.

I’m also joining the Addicted to Stamps & More Make Your Mark Challenge.

And there’s an Anything Goes Challenge at STAMPlorations.
