Artisan Sketch in Barely Blush


Hi Stampin' Friends!

Sometimes simple really is best! For this card, I let the beautiful patterns from the Artisan Sketch Designer Series Paper do most of the work. I absolutely love that this paper pack is filled with black & white prints because it gives you so many options to customize the look with your favorite colors. For this design, I added soft color using Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends.

To create the background, I lightly colored directly onto the Designer Series Paper using both shades of the Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends markers. I intentionally left some areas lighter and others darker to give the card a more natural, organic feel instead of perfectly even coloring. It’s such an easy technique, but it completely transforms the paper and makes it feel custom designed for your project.

For the sentiment, I used the Words of Beauty bundle and layered the die cut greeting for extra dimension and contrast against the soft floral background. To finish the card, I added a few subtle butterflies using the 2026–2028 Butterflies embellishments. They add just the right amount of detail and sparkle without taking away from the elegant simplicity of the card.

Happy Stampin'
