Learn how to use Blends + Pencils together!

I enjoyed sharing how I add additional shading and depth to my colored images using Stampin’ Blends markers combined with Watercolor Pencils!! Yesterday I used the new Everlasting Thanks stamp set floral images to share my coloring tips during my weekly live video!

I made 6 cards with this stamp set and coloring technique. Today I’m sharing 3 cards, tomorrow I’ll share 3 more.

A handmade card features a wooden fence, vibrant hand-colored flowers in pink, yellow, red, and blue, a green grass strip, and a white banner with “Hello!” at the top. The background is blue and speckled. “Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.com” is at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I just loved combining the die cut gate and fence (from the Painted Pumpkins die set) with some flowers to create a beautiful garden scene! This is actually 3 stamped floral images, 2 of them side by side and a 3rd one cut apart and pieced into the scene.

Three brown die-cut gates and two fences are shaded using brown watercolor pencils, shown above them. The items rest on gridded paper with “Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.COM” printed. Text gives shading instructions using watercolor pencils, without adding water. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I also added shading to the gate and fence die cut pieces with my watercolor pencils. You may remember I’ve previously done this with Stampin’ Blends markers.. either way works. I did not add water.

Watercolor Pencil Sharpener available on Amazon.

Two colorful floral designs are hand-colored on white paper. One is partially cut out with silver scissors on a grid crafting mat. The lower right corner reads “PattyStamps.com.” The scene suggests a craft or card-making project in progress. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
A floral card with “thanks a bunch” text is next to a colorful “Watercolor Pencil Giveaway” graphic. Text above announces a blog candy giveaway for watercolor pencils and the card, with dates “10-3-26 to 10-6-26” and the website www.pattystamps.com.

Blog Candy

If you’d like to enter to win the blog candy (a box of watercolor pencils and the card above), please LEAVE A COMMENT HERE and tell me which card from my video you enjoyed most! I’ll pick a winner the evening of 10-6-26 and email the winner. I’ll post it on my business page too.

For the Everlasting Thanks card I’m giving away, I stamped the floral image twice in the center of the Perennial Postage die (see below) and then added a strip with a sentiment across the center. This way it looks like one large floral image.

A white card with colorful hand-stamped flowers in red, yellow, blue, and green. A small white strip with the text “thanks a bunch” in black sits on top. The background is a grid, and “Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.com” is at the bottom right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Stampin’ Blends Color Combos

Be sure to pin these to your color combo Pinterest board… they’ll be on mine!

My 3rd card today features a die cut Party Banner for the stamped focal point, and a background embossed with the Softly Woven embossing folder. Sorry, I think I left it off the Stampin’ Up! supply list at the bottom of this post.

I used a combination of all different colors for a more fall vibe on this birthday card.

Handmade birthday card with a floral bouquet of roses, succulents, and three ladybugs above the words “Happy Birthday.” The card is teal and white with a ribbon tied in a bow and three small teal enamel dots. “PattyStamps.com” watermark in the corner.
