If you follow me or are new to my blog, thank you for stopping by! I am a huge fan of floral stamps and I LOVE to color! Today I am sharing the Love you Floral stamp – Brutus Monroe. This stamp is gorgeous! Flowers and color to me just say HAPPINESS! Don’t you agree….. Do you love to color flowers? What is your favorite type of card to make? I would love to know (comment below).

I started by stamping my floral image using Versa Fine Clair ink in Pinecone. I then used my Zig Clean Color brush markers to color in my image. I used a variety of shades of colors. I love coloring with my zigs. When my coloring was complete I used some colored pencils (Arteza) in the nooks and crannies for added dimension. In the center of each flower I added a gold Perfect pearls, and used my gel pen for added interest. I also added splatters to the floral sections of my card in gold, a light green, and a red. To complete my card I die cut the floral panel and adhered it to a purple panel, then adhered this to my card base. I used the sentiment Thankful for You – Super Sentimental Brutus Monroe. Foam mounted the sentiment and my card was complete!

  6. This is just gorgeous, Natasha! Your coloring is wonderful. I rarely make flower cards — I tend to like background techniques and cutesy images. But I sure love looking at them!

  23. Your card is beautiful! Great use of color! I don’t think I have a favorite type of card. I love to play with techniques then make it for whatever occasion I have coming up.

  38. Not being a watercolor more than extreme basic… your colors need to be framed. I have said that before on your work, but I cannot believe the time and effort and the end result is outstanding. My favorite card is anything interactive, fun folds and pop ups. Thanks for the beauty and please be well!

  43. I think I like making flower cards the most, but I also love a good critter card, and geometric patterns! Your card is absolutely stunning! I haven’t played with my Zigs in forever and need to pull them out soon!
