Let’s Paint!

Time for another Ways to Use It challenge at SCS! Today’s challenge is to use paint.  I decided to paint the chipboard flower and sponge a bit around the edges of my brown cardstock.  Normally, I would use craft ink for that, but since the paint was already out, I figured what the heck.  🙂

After I painted the flower and attached it with the velvet ribbon, I decided I wanted to add a bit of color to the edges.  To do this, I used a Copic colorless blender pen to pick up just a tad of color from a pink marker.  Once the bit of color was on the flower, I was able to move it just where I wanted it.

The stamps are from Gina K‘s new Stamps for a Cause set, “How Sweet it Is!”  When I saw the stork, I knew I *had* to have this set.  But it also truly is for a good cause.  It was created to raise money for research to help adults and children who suffer with diabetes.  I just couldn’t pass on it.  It’s cute, it’s fun and it helps!  (Click here for more information.)

Thanks so much for looking!  Have a great day!
