Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. If you like to use pencils to colour images in, but are tired of colouring onto white cardstock, then why not try coloured instead? It is very easy to do when you know-how and can add so much atmosphere to your card with such a simple change. For today's card, I used the Slate cardstock from Gina K Designs to create an elegant yet modest sympathy 'I'm here with you' card. Pair this with soft subtle stencil background and you've got a match made in heaven! Written...
