Stampin' Up! Greeting Card Kids plus bow tutorial

It's easy to feel like a kid with so many Stampin' Up! images to color in. This little cutie is from our Greeting Cards Kids set. The set contains four images (see them below) including this little girl in costume. Though I colored with markers this time, this set also lends itself well to coloring with other media such as watercolors, pencils and even crayons!

Some other features of this card:

• Add texture to your card using an embossing folder.  Houndstooth (item #123134) is always in season and would work well for masculine cards, too.
• A little bling goes a long way; top off a cheater bow with a Glimmer Brad (Subtles item #121004).
• Don't be afraid of color! Choose different colors from the same color family and add a neutral. Stampin' Up! has already done the work to combine colors that work together. Here, Rich Razzleberry and Tangerine Tango from our Brights collection team up to provide a bold, colorful look.
