Multi-Color Stamping with Kelly

Hello Crafters!

You know I like to color right? I want to use my markers or watercolors, or distress inks. You get the idea. This means typically I stick to those outline images that make my heart go pitter patter. However, sometimes some stamps come along and force you out of your comfort zone.

Sometimes, that's not a bad thing at all.

This month's release was full of really beautiful solid stamps that usually I wouldn't look twice at. But, flowers.

Basically, my love of flowers overrode my love of coloring and surprisingly I love the result.

I still got to use lots of gorgeous colors. I just did it a little different this time. Different is good :) You can watch the video below to see how easy it is to create these lovely gradient flowers.


Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

I love how you can still build some depth just by adding another color. No markers required. I can see how simple it would be to create a bunch of these cards really quickly.

The thickness of the multi layer die cut really adds a bit of something so that the sentiment stands out. Plus, using the white cardstock to cut the majority of them helps it blend into my background (and saves on colored cardstock too!)

Thank you so much for visiting today and I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

  3. Thanks for showing us how you made this Darling breezy card! I shy away from solid flowers, too, so this really inspired me.
