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!

What good ideas to keep a theme but individualize each one.
This is such a great idea and so effective! I’m loving the sentiments as well.
Beautiful! The purple is my favorite. Thank you for sharing
Love your beautiful cards.
Pretty cards! Thanks for the inspiration!
Another great video Sandy! Thanks
I LOvE the crafty friends set. Gonna hop over to order it ASAP.
What a very cool idea….love the stamping and colouring with the same colours.
I love how you think “outside the box” or in this case “outside the stamped image”. Thanks for the inspiration.
So very beautiful!
Wow! Beautiful set of cards. And a fantastic way to practice with color pencils I think.
Such beautiful cards!
The cards looks so beautiful…..Love how you pop the flowers …
I follow you and know your style of cardmaking pretty well. So when I saw your CAS card, I was a bit surprised. Don’t get me wrong, I love this set of cards, it’s just different.for you. I nust got the stamp set and was not sure how I wanted to use them. Your technique is beautiful and so doable for us common crafters! Thanks for sharing your very lovely cards.
Beautiful and simple, love.
I wish I could shade like this!
I love how you colored these beautiful cards, but in truth, I love everything you create! TFS
these are so beautiful, I can’t wait to try this.
Pretty Cards!
Like the white flowers for a change in coloring!
What a simple and elegant way to create a differently stamped card. I am going to try this technique. Thank you, Sandy.
Great cards! Love the dimension you created on these CAS cards and the colors. So pretty!
Always fun to watch you color!
I like the simplicity and the way you turned the stamp to get several variations.
Wow! Love this look. I love using my colored pencil. Have never thought about coloring in the negative space, but really like this look.
Wow – so much white space on a card from you! Love it.
Beautiful! Though, why can I never think of doing these things…yes, that was my jealousy speaking! 🙂
Love the clean and simple design! What a brilliant idea to use the outline stamp with a pencil colored background! Thanks for the inspiration — I can’t wait to try it!
Soft and pretty cards.
I love the way you colored the background, and the middle but left most of the flowers white. Something different from what I normally see and do. Such pretty cards!
I love all of your beautiful floral cards, Sandy! They look like high end art prints! Very creative and colorful! Thanks for being part of an awesome hop!
Take care!
Michele
Love your pretty CAS cards!
Super fun and totally different way to use the outline stamp! Love them all. Fun to hear about your crafty journey, too.
I sometimes feel guilty about having and wanting to learn different mediums. You inspire me NOT to feel guilty. I wish I had a little of your talent. Thanks
Thanks for the inspiration.
I love how you show the different mediums to create such beautiful cards. I love my colored pencils, but so many times pass the up for my copic markers. Thanks for reminding me of how beautiful they can be.
Stunning Sandy love getting elegance achieved
lovely cards!
I really like the style of these cards, lovely.
What a great way to “color outside the lines”! Thanks for sharing this idea.
These cards are so beautiful! The clean and simple look I think is sometimes overlooked, but it’s one of my favorites.
This technique looks like so much fun. Iam going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
Your take on CAS cards are off the chart girl! Have I ever told you that you ROCK?!! I bought the sentiment stamp set I think on release day but haven’t yet to use it cuz I was stumped a little. I wanted the sentiment to shine but wasn’t sure how to pull it off without being boring. Well thank you Sandy! Yes girl, take a bow! Love ya! Thanks again for sharing.
Wow Sandy, what a gorgeous cards. I never thought about, nor seen coloring only the shadows I love it and will give that a try. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Ooooo! What a neat and unique way to color these… I love it!
These are simply beautiful cards! I would never have thought of attempting this with pencils. I rely thought you were doing a resist technique. I’ve got to give this a try. I can’t believe how gorgeous they turn out. Thank you so much for a great video and a sweet story. Blessings
What a gorgeous set of cards!!! Thanks for sharing!
Such a great CAS design. And amazing how the color changes makes each card look unique!
Love the shading behind the flowers to
make the white petals pop.
