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!

  4. So beautiful, those colours! Lush and delish. A stunning creation for the hop. Hugs, Wends xoxo

  5. 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!

  8. I love florals and only dream of creating cards as gorgeous as this! Love you work, and it is sure to spread joy!

  19. Gorgeous card. I would have never thought of putting those colors together. They are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

  22. 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.

  36. Your card is gorgeous. I love your coloring. I love making flower and bird cards the most.

  37. 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!

  42. 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!

  43. I LOVE to stamp or emboss flowers and I do love the stamp you chose! Thx for the inspiration!

  46. I just think it is wonderful what you and all the companies are doing to bring light and cheer to stampers. Thank you so very much.

  47. Those flowers are gorgeous! Such wonderful colors. My fave kind of card to make is cutesy box cards. I have so much fun with them.

  50. Wow! I better keep practicing! Cause I hope I could one day color like this. So amazing, so inspiring.

  53. Your card is so pretty
    I tend to go for background with designs when I create but I think flowers would be the next thing I choose
    and I do love to use my zigs

  58. Two of my favorite things……..florals and coloring. Your cards are beautiful. Do you have video tutorials of your coloring??? TFS

  71. The coloring is beautiful florals! Who doesn’t smile when they receive a beautiful card?

  81. I am always stunned to see how beautifully people like yourself color images! Your card is so pretty! I bought some alcohol markers a while ago, but really only use them on very simple images…not a lot of shading and highlighting! Maybe one of these days I’ll take a class!

  82. I like flower stamps too, especially if they’re very detailed. The more realistic, the less I can resist!!

  84. I would probably never have paired purple and orange – until now. This card is gorgeous.

  85. Hi Natasha! Love your blog. (I’m following you now) Your colouring is so lovely. I haven’t made any cards recently. I’m hoping this Blog Hop gives me inspiration. I have a lot of pens, so I am going to try some colouring during the lock down. Thanks for sharing. Axx
