Hey!
It's Aimes here today sharing a bold and bright card with you featuring the brand-new Simple Flowers stamp set along with some subtle rock and roll stamping.
I applied light ink on the flower heads and rolled a slightly darker shade around the edges. (I used Mango Smoothie and Warm Sunshine for the yellow tones, and Volcano Lake and Lagoon ink for the blue tones) For a more dramatic effect, you can experiment with different colours of course! You have to look quite closely for the subtle change of colour on these flowers, but the technique is guaranteed to add dimension to your stamping! :)
A strip of silver glitter tape was popped across the bottom of the main panel to help ground the flowers and add a touch of sparkle to the design. I couldn't resist!
I love the versatility of this stamp set; I've seen my fellow teamies Svetlana use it to create trendy trees, May use it to create wonderful backgrounds, and Debby use it with stunning autumnal tones for a more subtle style. Don't tell the other sets, but this one is one of my favourites from the new release. ;)

I really enjoyed your tip about the edge coloring.
Gorgeous – LOVE this colour combination :-)
Like the touch of silver. Makes the card bright and fresh.
The use of this flower stamps as tree foliage is quite inventive. Beautiful card!
I love it. This is my favourite set too.
When first I saw this stamp I wasn’t too interested. Now you and other designers are changing my mind. I love this. Your technique and use of color are great. Thanks for sharing.
I love the colors! So sunny and cheerful with the accent of sparkle from the silver tape.
Great new release. I love the new flower created with using layers of the 3 stamps and will order it. I’m also going to try the cube ink pads for the first time. Thanks
So pretty! I love the colors and design. I also love how you added the silver glitter tape. Beautiful!
What a fantastic October release, I can’t wait to get my hands on it, I have lots of ideas already brewing ?
I LOVE the Simple Flowers set; I can hardly wait to work with it!

Oh, Aimes – if I hadn’t already bought this (JUST picked it up from the PO this morning) then I certainly would now! Fabulous card – colours are stunning!
