I’m excited to be guesting here on the Spellbinders blog, sharing three card projects I created using the wonderful Wedding Season Collection by Nichol Spohr.

Video: Just Add Color Inspiration | Pencil Coloring on Kraft with Debby Hughes
Hi, Debby here from Lime Doodle Design and I’m delighted to be here at Spellbinders today. In my video below I’m using the beautiful new Peonies Blossoms set from Stephanie Low and one of my most favourite ways to colour – pencils on kraft. The Peonies Blossoms set has four lovely floral clusters set on a red rubber, cling mount system which means you are going to get that beautiful fine line detail from the red rubber for these delicate blooms. I paired the stamp set with the Strathmore Toned Gray paper. I love the cooler grey tone of the paper, and its smooth surface makes stamping and colouring a…
