Sometimes ya gotta love CAS cards that are florals AND have an easy technique – because who doesn’t love flowers, right? This “negative” coloring technique isn’t negative at all…just color around the stamps!
Supplies for this project are linked at the end of this post. Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you.
I made a set of these with slightly different layouts, just turning the flower stamp different directions and stamping the sentiments in different places.
For some, the secondary sentiment is stamped directly at the bottom…
…other times just one sentiment will do…
…and of course dimensional adhesive for a secondary sentiment adds a little something special to the card!

Such a great coloring technique, Sandy! Now I can’t wait to try it! It was so nice to hear more about your creative path. I have been following along since OWH days, when I discovered a certain “Scrap Wrangler.” 🙂 I just love beginning my day with one of your videos for creative inspiration and have learned so much over the years. I have long considered you part of my crafty ‘tribe.’ ♡
I thought I should let you know how much I enjoy watching your videos! I am going to take out some stamps and do some colored pencils coloring around the outside and make some beautiful cards for my family!!

Your cards are all so pretty! I like how you have turned the stamp to different angles and given each a whole different look! And colouring with the pencils gives them such a lovely artistic look. Thank you for the tutorial and the inspiration! I am going to have to dig out my pencils. 🙂
What an ingenious idea to use the outlines and add most of your color to the outside! Gorgeous!

Your cards are so pretty. I love how you put the darker shade inside and close to the line outside, they just pop off the page.
What a pretty set of cards! I love that you colored around the flower – and, just using colored pencils. Thanks, for the inspiration.
Gorgeous cards, Sandy! I love the Charmed stamp set & your designs are wonderful!
Love and appreciate the CAS approach. Great job.
Such an inspiration!
These are so beautiful! Not being a big fan of coloring, I love the almost-monochromatic approach!
A very different and lovely way to color flowers.
Lovely cards! I really like your techniqur of coloring around the flowers rather than the flowers themselves! I’ll have to try that sometime!
Love your set of cards.
one of these days, I am going to be brave enough to color around the image and leave the inside of the flower white. I love the look of this. saving the video for my bedtime relaxation! Thanks so much.
These cards are awesome, I love them.
As always, gorgeous cards Sandy! I could watch you color all day. What a cool way to do these flowers. You make it look easy enough that even I could do it. Thanks for always inspiring me!
