Begonias or roses… make them whatever you want! 🙂 The Stampin’ Up! July 2026 Product of the Month is a gorgeous stamp set called Begonia Belle. I used it on my weekly live video yesterday, but since I feel like they look more like roses, I am calling them roses. 🙂 (in my defense.. the begonia’s in my garden look NOTHING like this stamp… I shared that on the video).

I did have a GREAT time playing with this 2 step floral image, and have included my color combo suggestions, the video replay and supplies at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Handmade card with a large red and yellow rose and green leaves on an embossed red background. The rose sits atop a white label with the text "YOU ARE MY Sunshine." "Patty Bennett PattyStamps.com" is watermarked at the lower right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Be sure to check out the video to see how I added more than 2 colors to this 2 step stamp by using a sponge dauber.. I think it turned out amazing!

Six stamped multicolor roses are shown on two white sheets, demonstrating a two-step stamping with sponge dauber shading. Pink and yellow ink pads, and a round sponge dauber, are nearby. Text at top left describes the stamping technique. "Patty Bennett" watermark is visible. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I used ink pads plus the sponge dauber.. be sure to watch the video for all the inking possibilities.

Handmade greeting card with embossed coral background, a white label with "You Are My Sunshine" in black text, and a vibrant orange-yellow rose with green leaves. "Patty Bennett pattystamps.com" watermark is on the lower right corner. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Below: I used Poppy Parade and Real Red for the roses, and Shaded Spruce for the leaves. I kept the card super simple with a white panel on a top fold Real Red card.

Handmade card with two large red and white roses and green leaves. Text below reads, “Sending LOTS OF HAPPINESS YOUR WAY.” Background is white with gold splatter, red border, and watermark “Patty Bennett pattystamps.com” at lower right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Two Step Color Combo suggestions:

Five stamped rose images on white cards show different color combinations, labeled with names like "Lemon Lolly," "Daffodil & Cantaloupe," "Poppy Parade," and "Crisp Cantaloupe." “Color Combo Suggestions” is written at the top. Patty Bennett watermark is visible. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above: one thing to note.. the flowers look different depending on which image you use for the darker or lighter ink. I don’t believe there is a right or wrong answer, and the fun is in playing with combinations and colors!

Three stamped leaf art samples show green color combos with text labels. Top: "Shaded Spruce, Lost Lagoon, Peaceful Pine." Left: "Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green." Right: "Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly." Blocks are nearby. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

The reason I created so many different leaves is that to my eye, some flowers need a cool green leaf, some need a warm green leaf, and some need bold or soft colors.. so I stamped a bunch!

An amazing discovery!!

I read a tip on the Metallic Magic facebook group, about using the hot foil dies with the Impressions plate to “emboss”… guess what… it totally works!!!!!! Normally it’s used with our Impressions dies, but it sure works with the Garden Silhouette hot foil die!!!!!!

A peach-colored embossed paper with floral patterns lies atop a gray floral embossing folder. The background shows faint flower designs and a grid. The watermark reads "Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.COM. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I used that Crisp Cantaloupe embossed background for my card below. I inked these begonias to look like my mom’s favorite Whisky Mac roses. I also added some Crisp Cantaloupe shimmer pen to the rose.. it shows up beautifully in person!
