Hello
Friends!
For my first card, I used the Large Shops Set (5260), and it was
my first time creating with it. I started by stamping the shop onto
Canson Watercolor Paper using my stamp platform and Tombow N95.
Since the image was stamped in only one color, there wasn’t much
color to pull from the lines, so I used Tombow 565 to begin adding
shadows and depth. I also added a light wash of 565 to the windows,
knowing I would deepen them later after adding the flowers. The
flower box was colored with 026, but only halfway since I still
planned to stamp flowers into it.
The door was colored with 026, and I used N49 for the doorknob and
plate. Using my stamp positioner, I stamped the chairs and table in
N49.
Next, I colored the roof and sign with 947. The chimney was
colored with N49 and accented with 947 for the stones. Once the main
shop was complete, I began stamping in the flowers and foliage. Using
a damp brush, I softened the flowers for a more watercolor look.
After finishing the flowers, I returned to the windows and
deepened the color using more 565, especially on the side window to
create the impression of shade. With a brown TwinTone marker, I drew
in the window panels, then added 491 to the corners of each pane to
give them a glass-like appearance.
I used 373 above the door for an extra pop of color. Dr. Ph.
Martin’s Bleed Proof White was added to the top window container
and the shrub beside the shop. I also used 991 on the shrub to create
small flowers. To ground the scene, I added 969 around the base of
the shop, and finished with 526 for the sky.
The completed card measures 5” x 5”.

For my second card, I used the Harvest Scene Set (5593). The
original stamp includes two pumpkins on the chair, but I decided not
to use them for this scene. Since I stamped the image using Tombow
N95, it was easy to simply leave the pumpkins uncolored. After
stamping the main image, I used my stamp positioner to add a small
container in place of the pumpkins.
I began by coloring the chair and containers first before adding
the flowers and foliage around the scene. Using a brown TwinTone
marker helped create a rustic, aged look and added extra character
and detail to the card.
I hope you found some inspiration in these cards and feel inspired
to create your own cozy floral scenes. Until next time!
