Paint-a-Flower
I know you love the Build-a-Flower stamp sets and monthly subscription. Now, you can stretch your creativity with the Paint-a-Flower stamp set series and monthly subscription.
The Paint-A-Flower stamp sets are released monthly and celebrate the beauty of a wide variety of flowers! Each stamp set features an outline image of a gorgeous flower or floral arrangement, just waiting to be painted or colored with your favorite medium. There’s no need for you to spend time layering and masking images, as we have designed these sets to allow you to stamp once then color! We can’t wait to see what you create!

Take a Color Break
The beauty of the Paint-a-Flower is that you’re free to color however you want. Markers, inks, paints, pencils. Use any medium your heart desires! I took two totally different approaches with my projects this time. First, I used my Artist Markers on a masked and layered design. Then, I went for a total abstract and loose watercolor.
I just love poppies as they come in so many wonderful colors and patterns. A quick Google search can give you creative coloring ideas that you can use for your project!

A closer look
Wondering how I got all that depth in the flower arrangement? Let’s take a closer look at the concept of underpainting to help achieve more realistic and depth-filled shading.
