There’s something so calming about bringing a stam There’s something so calming about bringing a stamped image to life with colour ✨

For this piece, I’m colouring a beautiful vintage bloom from @alexsyberiadesigns, using some of my absolute favourite @olomarkers. I love how these shades blend effortlessly and give such a soft, timeless finish—perfect for florals like this 🌸

If you enjoy slow, relaxing colouring and seeing how different marker tones work together, this one’s for you.

OLO colours used:
R5 · R5.3 · R5.5 · R5.7 · YG8.6 · YG8.7 · YO0.6

Save this for later if you want to try the colour combo yourself 💕

I’ve cut my @altenewllc cardstock into 4×4 squares, labelled each one with the brand + colour name, and filed them neatly into my Everyday Stories folder from @kingstoncrafts.

Everything is stored in proper rainbow order (obviously).
Because if I’m going to reach for colour, I want to see all the options at a glance — no guessing, no rummaging, just instant inspiration 🎨

If you’re a fellow paper hoarder / colour-lover, this one’s for you 💛

Soft florals, rich tones, and all the elegant vibe Soft florals, rich tones, and all the elegant vibes 🌸🤎

This card was created using the Wrapped with Love Stamp Set from @alexsyberiadesigns, and I honestly can’t get enough of these blooms. They’re an absolute dream to colour and work beautifully for full, statement-style card designs like this one.

I paired the florals with a deep brown card base to really make the pinks and greens pop, then finished it off with twine, a simple sentiment, and a sprinkle of sparkle ✨

If you love colouring florals and building layered designs, this stamp set is definitely one to check out.

Full details and supply links are over on the blog — link in bio 💕

This friendship card was created using the Build-A-Garden Hellebore Haven set from @altenewllc and honestly… this set does all the heavy lifting. The florals are perfect for colouring and arranging, whether you go bold or keep things soft and subtle like I’ve done here.

I paired the blooms with a muted green background, a touch of twine, and light white splatter for texture — simple, elegant, and perfect for sending a little happy mail 💌
