When I was doing yesterday's layout, I needed a flower to finish off the embellishments and just didn't have quite the right design to cut on my Cricut. So I stamped an image on designer paper and cut it out by hand. I liked it so much, I did this card with several images. When stamping, I tried different colors with different flowers to see what I liked.
To get the look, choose small pattern papers and an outline stamp. Stamp directly on the pattern paper and cut out.
To finish these flowers, I used markers to color in the centers. Normally when I use these stamps, I'm coloring in everything with markers or watercolor crayons. This was much faster and I love the results.
Thanks for visiting today!
