Notice how the beautiful stamped rose wreath hangs over the layered paper corner on this pretty card, that adds so much extra interest to the design! There’s also nice metallic silver shimmer from the patterned background and cardstock. I spotted this on the pennyblackstamps Instagram page.
This dark and dramatic card has flowers heat embossed in gold on black cardstock and colored with polychromos pencils. Stitching, splatters and gems add great texture to the design too. Find out more over on the That’s Life blog.
One of my favorite coloring mediums is alcohol markers, you can add lots of shading, shadowing, blending and a realistic look to flowers with these types of markers. These stunning floral cards were colored by Nathalie using alcohol markers from Altenew.
Lydia created this card by dry embossing an embossing folder using white cardstock and adding the colors by ink blending with ink pads. I love the bright bold colors of the flowers in contrast with the dark background! Visit Splitcoast Stampers for her tutorial.
Amy used new products from Waffle Flower to create this cheery clover card. It’s got a subtle glitter stenciled background, die cut and colored vase, flowers and leaves, and the sentiment is a combination of heat embossing and die cutting. You can watch her video tutorial on the Amy Rysavy blog.
Carol created a custom background with a stencil, ink spray and texture paste for this romantic Anniversary card. The beautiful roses and arch are stamped and heat embossed in gold and then colored with watercolors. The arch is also backed with vellum and there’s a sweet embossed sentiment too.

Even something as simple as creating a square card can add interest to a design. This pretty square card has letter pressed flowers colored with inks using a coordinating stencils. If you’re not the best at coloring in images this is an easy way to add color. Watch a video tutorial over on the LDRS blog.
