Let's "Rock & Roll!" This is a simple, fun technique: I inked this flower image with Bumblebee ink, then ROLLED the edges of the image in Polished Pink ink! Like magic, the result is a two-color flower!! This lovely, sketchy flower is from Flowing Flowers Stamp Set #157880 in the Spring Mini Catalog.
This is a fast way to add color to an image that is rather round in shape.
The base card is Basic Grey, a neutral that is under used. Try "Rock & Roll!"
I have REALLY enjoyed In Bloom Stamp Set #158218 and it's coordinating Pierced Blooms Dies #154312. I'm sad to see them retire on May 2nd. Here I paired them with the pretty 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum #156844.
Peek inside for another flower created with Shimmer Vellum!

What level of paper crafting do you prefer?? Beginner, Casual, or Avid! I do all three, but mostly casual. The great thing about creating is you only have to please YOURSELF!!

GARDENING TIP: you can change the color of your garden Hydrangeas from pink to BLUE by adding SOIL ACIDIFER, found in your garden center near the fertilizers! It's MAGIC!!
The Hydrangea Hill Suite #155985 is ELEGANT and let's you create any color blossoms you desire on card stock! These are "Z" fold cards cut 4-1/4 X 11" then scrored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2". VERY EASY! I used the interesting Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate sheets #154574. The left one is Highland Heather color. The right one is flipped over to the silver side of the Mercury Glass Acetate.
I inked the flower image in Highland Heather and then "rolled" the edge of the image in Seaside Spray ink for a lovely realistic color combo. That is called the "ROCK & ROLL" technique.
I rarely make just one card at a time, so this one is varied from the other.
Cards this exquisite demand fancy envelopes! The top envelope has the flap covered in the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper #154570. The lower card I created from the same Designer Papers using the border print and here is how:

Blossoms in Bloom Bundle #154123
Guest stamper, my friend and Team member, Michelle Miller, created this CUTE fun fold using Blossoms in Bloom Stamp Set #152684!
To create this fancy fold, start with a 5-1/2 x 4-1/4" base. Center and attach a narrow card cut 2-1/2 x 11", scored at 5-1/2". It's simple and striking!
Such cheerful colors! This is one of my very favorite stamp sets and bundles in the Annual Catalog!! Thanks for sharing, Michelle! LOVELY card!
Queen Anne's Lace is a wildflower, and now a lovely stamp set, too! This stamp set took my eye!
Queen Anne's Lace Stamp Set #152607 is a two-step design, but easy and quick to line up.
When adding color to the flower, I "stamped off" to get a soft look.
Wink of Stella #141897 adds glitter to the flowers.
The Peony is an essential classic garden perennial plant! This is such a lovely 3D flower die in this Peony Garden Suite #154129!!
These colors are the calming Basic Grey and Petal Pink. The die cut Peony is sponged with Petal Pink to accent the many petals.
The Peony Garden Designer Series Paper #152483 is soft and elegant!!
The flower petal die cuts "insert" into the largest flower die cut. It's so unique and creates a very full, multi-petal flower!
One word: ELEGANT! A beautiful card with a beautiful message! This is the Forever Greenery Suite #154143 of gorgeous coordinated foliage images and products!

This sentiment touches my heart! Many, many wonderful possibilities with the lovely Forever Green Suite of products!
WHAT special treatment did I use on this adorable Jar of Flowers Bundle w/ PUNCH #154064??
ANSWER: I punched a jar from a Window Sheet #142314 using the Jar Punch from the bundle to create GLOSS like real glass! Easy, Fast, Effective! All the stamping was done on the card stock, not the window sheet.
The flowers are colored with Stampin' Up! BLENDS, alcohol markers. The "water in the jar" is the reversible stamp image - so handy!!
