Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! I’m delighted to welcome back super special guest Elena Roussakis as a guest on our blog today! She made this darling design with a clever combination of some sweet designs from Neat & Tangled!

The stamps are stamped with Jet Black ink from Lawn Fawn and colored with Elena’s favorite Copic markers. The card base was created with patterned paper from Avery Elle’s Sorbet collection and the pretty pink blended background was made with the Picket Fence Studio brushes and Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spun Sugar ink. Isn’t this scene the sweetest?!

Hello crafters, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today, sharing some inspiration featuring our Simon exclusive It’s Your Birthday, Suzy Watercolor Prints! 

One of the reasons as to why I love these Suzy Watercolor Prints so much is that they make for customizable crafting projects! You can simply color the prints for a beautiful card, or you can get really creative and die cut, fussy cut, stamp, embellish and more for a unique, one of a kind creation! 

I’m using the adorable llama card, and coloring it with my favorite Prima and Daniel Smith watercolors. When selecting my colors, I specifically selected them to coordinate with the Lawn Fawn Really Rainbow papers adhered behind the watercolor panel.

After coloring, I decorated the card with a few Groovy confetti pieces, which really complements the colors across the entire design! 

I love how this bright and colorful birthday card turned out, and I hope you are inspired to do a bit of coloring of your own!
