I thought maybe for people who don’t like to do a lot of coloring with outline images such as this, I would try a monochromatic method of stamping and making a card as in this Easy Monochromatic Bloom & Grow Card.
This card is stamped with Highland Heather Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. I love this cardstock! It has the slightest shimmer to it and works for watercoloring which you can’t do very well with Whisper White Cardstock. The flowers are from the Bloom & Grow Stamp Set. I think if you stamp any of the flower stamps in a color, it is fine and you don’t have to color in all the flowers, leaves, and buds. I personally like to color, especially with the Stampin’ Blends Markers, but this is a quick and easy way to make a card! The greeting is also from the same stamp set.
So just stamp the flowers and the greeting and adhere to a card base and you’re done! The card base for this card is Highland Heather. Couldn’t be easier!
Since the card base color is not white, you might like to add a layer of Shimmery White Cardstock on the inside of the card to add your personal note or greeting. To decorate this inside layer, you might like to stamp something on it. I chose one of the other flower stamps and wanted to stamp just the corner of the cardstock. As we know, it is helpful to stamp photopolymer stamps on top of something with a little cushion. I used the Stampin’ Pierce Mat, but I didn’t want to get ink on it. Either grab a piece of scrap paper or just fold over your Grid Paper (which is SO handy to use underneath your stamping project!) to protect your Pierce Mat.
Now, if you like a simple card, but you want just a little bit of bling, add a few sequins! I used the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins just to add a little bit of something to the card front even though I was keeping it quick and easy.
If you want to make some quick and easy cards, look through your stamps and see what you could use stamping in just one color and keeping it simple and monochromatic.
