Stampin' Up! Inks and the Color Contour Stamp set create a beautiful garden.

 I love flowers but I'm not a great gardener until , , ,  I started stamping.

I had fun making these flowers, I used a NEW product to add a fun touch to the centers and I have a tip for lining up the stamps for the TWO-STEP stamping technique. 

TWO- STEP stampin is a technique where you use two stamps that work together to create the image.  In this case, one stamp creates the outline and one creates the color on the inside.

If you want to create some fun flowers for your "garden", here are some color combination ideas for you.

Notice the tip written on the yellow sticky note. This is a NEW product that will be available to you on July 1 - Pearlized Enamel Effects. I have used White however, it comes in 3 colors: red, white and black. I love the look!

TIPS for TWO-STEP STAMPING

When stamping the flowers I had to stop and look carefully to line the outline image with the inside image. To save time, I put a small black dot on the back of the stamp on the longest petals of the outline image. Then I put a block dot on the inside image on the tip of the matching petal. You can see the dot when you place it on the block. This works great for quick accurate placement.

TIP 1- Line up once and mark the stamps with the black dots and enjoy!

Tip 2 - Stamp the outside image first then the inside - its easier to line up.

TIP 3 - Use the darkest color for the outside to get maximum contrast.
