Simon Says Stamp Color Coordinates: Spring Flowers
Welcome everyone!! I hope you’re having a good day. I have a Color Coordinates recipe that is perfect for Spring flowers! I’ve used some of our new ink colors; Rose Apple, Clementine, Velvet Orchid and Dusty Sage. For the neutral, I’ve used Fog cardstock.
I started by die cutting the Forget Me Not Flowers from Neenah white cardstock and colored them in using Tsukineko sponge daubers with the inks.
I concentrated the ink in the center of the flowers and blended it out to the edges. Blending is a great way to extend your ink colors by creating lighter shades. Once I had my flowers and leaves colored, I arranged them onto a white embossed Flower Medallion stamped on a Fog cardstock panel. I die cut Hello from black cardstock and set it onto a strip of white. To finish up, I added Studio Katia round drops to the flower centers.
I’ve filmed the process of making this card which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

Love the card and I love how you used the inks on the flowers. I don’t have any of the new inks yet, but those colors are gorgeous. I’m a soft color person when I do my cards, not a bold color person, so those colors are right up my alley!! Love when you do the color coordinates, I always love to see what colors you put together! Thanks for sharing .
Very pretty. I like the white embossed background.
Love
These soft and pretty colors on your elegant card,
So beautiful
What great colours to work with! I might give that a try for my next card. It’s a bit softer than I usually aim for. Lovely card Shari!
One of my favorite cards! I have those daubers & you’ve inspired me to use them like this!
Love the way the flowers are coloured and adore those glass flower centres. x
This is a color combo to just love. The soft colors card is a great one.
