Paper: Stampin’ Up Designer Paper, Whisper White & Chocolate Chip Card stock
Ink: Stampin’ Up Kiwi Kiss, Tim Holtz Distress ink Brushed Corduroy, Frayed Burlap & Old Paper
Accessories: White Gel Pen, Sponge

Used the direct to paper technique, by smearing my Old Paper Distress ink pad from top to bottom on a 3.5″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White card stock.

Stamped the Flourish with Brushed Corduroy on the left side of the card stock twice.

Colored in my images being careful to color inside of the outlines with a white Gel pen.

Sponged Kiwi Kiss ink around the outside edge of the card stock.

Sponged Brushed Corduroy ink around the outside edge of the card stock, not covering the Kiwi Kiss ink entirely.

Cut a 4.75″ square piece of Stampin’ Up Designer paper and sponged Kiwi Kiss around the edge of it to coordinate with my main image panel.

Assembled the card and here it is finished measuring 5.25″ square.

I hope this tutorial has inspired you to try using your white gel pen to add a bit of drama to your creation today.

    I love the Spring Song hummingbird! I just got this set and now I have an amazing card to case!

    I also see that you are coming to Moore, Oklahoma! Do you have a date scheduled yet? I’m in Broken Arrow (Tulsa) but want to come (Unless you plan to come to the Tulsa area as well). You wouldn’t happen to be going to Megan Locke Designs would you?

    Have a wonderful day in your garden. You made my day with your beautiful card and tutorial!
