Mixed Florals Reprise

Remember these cards that I made using the Mixed Florals?  Last week I had some ladies over from my Bible study to make a card.

Because there were eight ladies all learning to make a card, I showed them how to use the Q-tip technique for coloring in the flowers.  Just dab the q-tip into a stamp pad and then use it like a paint brush.  Then they didn't have to wait for the markers.  I have to say, I love the Q-tip look!  It looks like water coloring, only easier and you don't have to have water at your stamping station.

To prepare for the class, I stamped and cut out the tulip image for everyone.  Then each guest got to choose the background paper that they wanted on their card.  Some choices were the colorful tulips, a gray stripe or a purple stripe.  

Here's a card made using the purple stripe for the background.  I ended up with a lot of card supplies left over (I had planned for 12) so I just kept making more cards with the tulips.  

What an easy card to make that can be used for most any occasion.  Seriously, I just want to make more!
