I already posted one card I made with the Hero Arts Dalia stamp and cut set. I made two more recently.
I also wanted to show you what I do when I get in a new flower stamp.
I get a google image of the flower. Many times growers have a grid of seed pack flower images that show a variety of colors for that particular flower. I like having that guide - but that doens't mean there will be no more blue flowers - which for some reason I find fascinating. That little snippet is stored along with the stamp and die.
I used copics to color, sticking with two color blends as the petals were small. The coral version was plopped on to a card base embossed with a new SU ef. I colored the little dots with a marker to add just a bit more interest to the base - ok yes- all that white freaked me out.
The yellow version has nuvo drops added.
Thanks much for stopping by~

Your so smart to do the research, but I love the blue flowers, too, Cat! Your coloring is wonderful, as are both these cards! Neat ef & love the colored dots!
What a smart cookie you are, Cat! Great idea to keep them stored in the packaging!
Gorgeous coloring, really pretty cards!
