Card by Paula Cannon for Vintage and Fresh featuring milk can image from Country Home stamp set, colored with Blends

Using Stampin’ Blends with Country Home

I’m so glad the Country Home stamp set will carryover to the new Annual Catalog.

This is a card I made last fall using Stampin’ Blends to color. It’s the milk can image paired with the cotton plants that I used for this card. It has the same tall focal image, but this time I used a horizontal band to balance the card design.

I also used the DSP to inspire the colors in my foliage. For the milk can, I stayed on trend and kept it traditional with the smoky slate gray.
