Today I am sharing a card using the sweet Humming Along stamp set. This is not a set I have but luckily I was over at one of my oldest friend and downline Jo’s house today and she wanted some tips on using Blends pens and this was the perfect set to demonstrate with.
To recreate the Humming Along card you will need;
Crumb Cake card base 8¼” by 5⅞”
Crumb Cake cardstock 5¼” by 3½”
Poppy Parade cardstock 3¾” by 3” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Thick Very Vanilla cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
The lovely flower was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, personally I find the blends markers blend more smoothly on the Thick cardstock, my first tip. I used the the Dark Real Red and Dark Poppy Parade Blends for the flower. I usually start with the dark colour then blend it out with the lighter colour, going back when it is dry and adding more dark shading as necessary. The leaves were coloured with Dark Granny Apple Green and Light Old Olive. The stamen was coloured with the Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Pineapple Punch.

The sentiment from the Takeout Treats stamp set was stamped in Crumb Cake ink and the panel was added to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up the Crackle Paint background stamp with Crumb Cake ink and stamped on the layer of Crumb Cake cardstock. This layer was then glued to the Crumb cake card base with the same adhesive.
