Valentine Kisses Bundle + Stampin' Blends
These    ADORABLE coloring stamps are perfect for Valentine cards. I was going to say Valentines for kids...but let's be real- anyone would smile opening one of these sweet cards. 


Tips for Coloring the Bears with Stampin Blends
1.Always stamp your images with Memento Black Ink when coloring with Stampin' Blends. Let the ink set for a minute before you start coloring to avoid smearing. 
2. Use Basic White Cardstock-it's smooth as silk and gives you the best blending results. 
3. My favorite coloring order: Light->Dark->Light. This helps create soft shading and smooth transitions. 
4. Act fast! Don't wait too long between layers. Stampin' Blends blend best while the ink is still workable. 
5.No Basic Black Stampin Blend? No problem! Use the Dark Smoky Slate (bullet tip) to color then add shading with the same marker.
6. Add sparkle by coloring the white areas with Wink of Stella Glitter Brush for a little extra Pizzazz.
7. Oops moments hannepn! If color escapesStampin' Blends Color LIfter the lines just grab your Color Lifter to clean it right up.
