Darling Dinos

I was playing around with the Darling Dinos stamp set one day experimenting with the colors for the images, I am not sure I got any combinations I really like, but will just have to keep trying new combinations!

The designer series paper patterns are both from the Florals in Bloom collection and I used a piece of Lemon Lolly card stock embossed with the retired Tin Tile folder behind the sentiment and image layer.

Supplies:

With fun party details, “rawr”-some accessories, and punny sentiments, this set is perfect for birthdays, cards for kids, friendship cards, and more. Simply stamp, then color each Jurassic friend and detail with your favorite coloring technique. Also available in French.
