After some easy masking outline the stamped images with some blue markers. I die cut a window with these dies.

Color the background any red…and I mean any and withOUT any shading.

Proceed to color the leaves and you can use any greens for that mater too.

Same goes for the flowers but, thought you might like to see my colors. Funny how the same colors can come out somewhat differently.

You really could stamp the inside of the card and call it a day but, I still enjoy cutting out flowers so I cut several and popped them on my card showing some of the red peaking out as you see below. The sentiment called, “Spreading Sunshine” is a multi seasonal stamp set with so many great sentiments.

    Love the effect of the popped up flowers over the window. Great colouring on the hibiscus. Love the coloured dots!

    Gorgeous card, Kathy. Love how your flower arrangement frames the sentiment. These new stamps are just great. Summer is definitely not over in my part of the world. I had to switch on my mobile A/C in my home office a little over a week ago because of the summer heat and I think I will need it for at least another week. July and August tend to be the hottest months over here, but September is usually still very nice and warm. It’s not until October that the weather starts to get less stable.

    Love your card. I like having a shadow around my images….sometimes I use the very lightest blues and sometimes greys depending on the image and theme. Your card is so cheerful. Greeting cards should make people smile and yours certainly did.

    Your coloring is just ridiculously good. I should hope to be that good.
    I keep trying trust me. Lots and lots of TV time coloring. Thanks for all your tips

    I saw the red flowers and though, Wait! That’s not Kathy! Then I realized you’d covered them mostly with those gorgeous cut-outs… another winner!! : )

    thanks for the idea…been thinking that I needed to make a frame with flowers for a sentiment and now you have done it for me 🙂

    Love the extra pop up detail and the way the flowers just overhang the frame. Perfect 🙂
