Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Coloring Inside The Lines Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  If you love to color, you’ll fall in love with our theme this week. We all chose stamp images to “Color Inside The Lines”. I chose to fill my diecut label shape with stamped leaves:

The beautiful leaf image that I repeatedly stamped is from the Lily Of The Valley Bundle and I used Stampin’ Blends to color all of them. Once that was done, I layered and layered and layered:
