If you are looking for a card idea that is beautiful and has simple coloring, here's an idea for you!
I'm starting with with the new Vase of Blooms stamp set for the floral image. And this image is just as the name implies – it's a vase of blooms!
This ties in 3 elements that I love!
- Pretty flowers that only need simple coloring
- A stunning nested die cut background
- Beautiful sentiment
You mix those 3 things and you are destined for success!

See what I mean?
I tried several colors for the 4″ x 5-1/4″ panel – black was the last color I tried and it was an instant hit! Try this card with several color panels and see what you like most.
It might depend on what colors you choose to color with.
Speaking of colors, I used my favorite alcohol markers, they are OLO Markers. They are simply delightful to use. It's crazy that it's been almost 2 years since I started using these markers. Time certainly has flown by. It took me about 4-5 projects of coloring to get used to how the ink flow is, and I've never looked back!
