For my project, I made this clean and simple card featuring Catherine Pooler Inks, a stamp set from Simon Says Stamps, and my go-to coloring medium, Spectrum Noir Markers.

Although I don’t do many floral cards… yet… this is one of my favorite floral stamp sets. I’m using Sketch Tulip Bouquet as my focal point for this card. I just love the sketchy look of the flowers.
Check out the Video!
To stamp out the image, I’m using a couple of colors of Catherine Pooler Ink . I just got my first set of inks from Catherine Pooler last month, and so far, I love them!
The ink pads that I’m using are Grass Skirt and Rockin’ Red from the Party Collection Foundation Minis set. Yes, these are the mini size. They are 1” x 2”, and twice the size of many of my other mini inks.
I placed the tulips stamp on my stamp block press from Fiskars, inked it up, and stamped the flowers on a panel that I had cut from some heavyweight white cardstock from Michaels.
Of course, after stamping it out, I noticed that the stems that were a little higher up, and showing from behind the flowers were stamped in red, instead of green. And part of the image wasn’t stamped at all.
Totally fixable.
I stamped the image again on a full coverage post-it note, and cut out the flowers. This stuff is great for masking!
Once the masks were in place, I re-stamped the image with Grass Skirt. Much better. But then I decided that I didn’t like the red and green look of the upper stem.
To fix that, I grabbed some of my Spectrum Noir Markers (that live on my desk).
I’ve sped up the coloring a bit, so it doesn’t take forever. I’ll turn up the music for you to listen too in the meantime.
The markers that I used for the stems and leaves are AG1, AG2, AG3, and AG5.
Next I’m moving on to some pinks for the tulips.
The markers that I used for the tulips are BP1, BP2 and BP3.
Now that the coloring is complete, it’s time for a sentiment. I chose “bloom where you are planted” from this stamp set. I think it makes for a great encouragement card.
Next I’m trying out another new-to-me craftroom staple… the Hero Arts NESTING RECTANGLE INFINITY DIES .
Before cutting them apart, I had run them through my die cutter with some red card stock, creating a bunch of 1/8th in frames.
AWESOME!
I’d seen this done on other videos, loved the look, but had never tried it. This die set is perfect for this!
I picked one of the frames, I think it had used the 2nd and 3rd largest dies, and used it to frame my bouquet and sentiment.
Then I grabbed my Art Glitter Glue and adhered the frame to the panel.
With this all complete, I added it to an A2 size card base that I created from the same heavyweight cardstock from Michaels, and the card is finished.
