Not too much colouring in this card for a friend! Indeed, I used a technique called “spotlighting” that is an easy and great pop for your cards.
I love the Breathtaking Bouquet stamp because it is so versatile! It is a background stamp and is quite large. I generally use my Stamparatus to stamp my image, making sure I know exactly where my cardstock was placed. That way, I can stamp again if it didn’t quite turn out.
When doing the spotlight technique, you want to colour only part of your image and leave the rest not coloured. So I chose one of the flowers on the stamp that I liked and then found a circle die that fit around it.
Then I die cut a scallop circle in basic black cardstock to mat it and be able to pop it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used Stampin’ Blends to colour, but it was quick and easy because I only did one full flower and pieces around it.
The striped paper is a piece from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. I stamped the greeting from Timeless Tulips in Flirty Flamingo ink and punched it with the Classic Label Punch. Then I glued it to a 1/2″ strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, trimming the ends.
This card is now ready for your friend!

I made this card on a Facebook live on my page. You can watch the replay here. Don’t worry, I trimmed out the blah blah at the beginning 🙂
