Hello! Erum here today and I have two cards to share with you using the beautiful Happy Bloom Stamp Set. First, you must have seen that I have already covered the Happy Bloom Stamp in a Stamp Focus post where I shared FOUR cards. But I wanted to try something different this time.
As you can see, I used the bouquet stamp from this set as a border. Like I did in one of my stamp focus cards. But this time, in full color.
In case you don't want to watch the video, I will explain what I did in detail. For the vertical card, I just stamped the bouquet and it covered the whole area. I then colored the image with Artist Markers in the following colors:
- Blue: Sea Glass, Ocean Waves, Dusk and Desert Night
- Green: Frayed Leaf, Forest Glades and Evergreen
- Yellows: Buttercream, Warm Sunshine and Caramel Toffee
- Pinks: Blush, Coral Berry and Cotton Candy
- Greys: Morning Frost and Evening Grey
Next, I planned to add a few more elements to my border so I decided to go with a horizontal layout that would give me more area to play on.
I prepared a mask of the blue flower and placed it before stamping the bouquet on the right. Then, I added the fern type leaves to give the left corner a finished look.
After I was done stamping, I removed the mask and filled in the missing stamping with a black pen and then colored my border.
On both my cards, I added a shadow with Evening Grey Artist Marker which I then softened with Morning Frost Artist Marker. When I was done with the coloring, I stamped the sentiments from Story of Us Stamp Set on both the panels then popped them on their respective bases.
I hope you like my card set. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set and, of course, coloring with Artist Markers is a breeze! Until next time! Have an absolutely fantastic day!
I will leave you with a video of the card making process.

Oh ET it was a pleasure to watch you colouring ( it’s like a dream come true) ..I enjoyed every single detail you made in them.. it’s not the coloring it self but it’s who you apply your marker .. I love your confidence and your voice too…. thank you ? so much for sharing this amazing video with us..
I am glad I inspired you <3 Thank you for the kind words. I am still learning.
Pretty cards, loved the coloring as soft and beautiful. Were you using a blender pen to touch your colors to to mute the color? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you :) No, I don’t have a blender pen. I was using the lightest shade from the marker family to blend the colours. I was actually picking up a darker colour to add depth.
Gorgeous Erum, I love the vibrant colours. Thanks for the video!

Hi Erum, I tried to leave you a message on your website on this card, but it came back to me for some reason (undelivered) anyways, I also LOVE this stamp I almost bought it last week but I decided on another one at the last minute, I will be getting this one next for sure. I LOVED your video, your coloring is just amazing, I love watching you color, I learn a lot. I love how you shade at the end, it just brings it all together and pop’s the card. Your flowers always look so real that I swear I can smell how beautiful they are. Thanks for sharing, hopefully the website was something weird cuz I love going there and leaving comments for you, take care.
Tracey, you are a gem. That is the nicest thing to say to someone who spent a whole lot of hours colouring. Thank you very very much ♥
