Watch along here as I show several ways to give carefree coloring a try.

Stampin Up Eclectic Garden

The stamp set I used to make the cards below is so unique, and here’s why. Each of the four images in the stamp set were designed so they can be ‘colored’ using the two texture stamps shown at the top left, which are included in the set. I think this is such a unique idea, and it got me thinking about other simple ways to add color.

To make these cards, I stamped first with Early Espresso ink, then used Pear Pizzazz and Polished Pink inks to add color with the ‘fill in’ stamps. What do you think? I think it’s an awesome way to create simple and pretty cards.

After I created these, I decided this stamp set is perfect to demonstrate more ways to do carefree coloring. Let’s look at a few.
