Coloring Lined Stamps in Different Ways

Hello! Leah from Paper Blossoms here to share a quick card with you and a tip for coloring your lined stamps in a new way. I know some of us can feel intimidated to color a line image but you don't always have to use markers or watercolors. For my card I used a stamp  to "color" my image. It was quick and easy and gives a very different look.


I used a paint brush stroke image to color my flowers. I first stamped the paint brush strokes after measuring about how much space I needed to fill and did graduated colors that would make sense in coloring a floral image. Once that was done I stamped my flower image on top in black ink and added my sentiment. What do you think? It was a fun way to color this detailed image and give it a new look. Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope you have a great day!

  1. The card is beautiful. That's a great idea for coloring. I'll definitely try that. Do you think it would work with Copics or Shin Han markers?
