Use your Arches Die in the Background

Three handmade floral greeting cards on a light wood background. Each card has a colorful floral border, an oval center with a vase or large flower, and birthday or friendship messages. The cards feature layered, dimensional paper flowers and intricate details. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

As I created dozens of card samples for a recent Luv 2 Stamp Group team event, I created some extra cards with my colored Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper (it’s on Low Inventory!!), paired with my Arches die! It creates a nice landing place for the focal images!

A hand holds a floral greeting card with a black, pink, and yellow flower-patterned background. The card features a pink vase with purple flowers on a white arch, a green gem embellishment, and a label reading “HERE’S TO YOU!” at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Above & Below: my focal point images are just colored and fussy cut or die cut from the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.

A hand holds a floral-themed greeting card with a green potted plant illustration and the message “Consider yourself hugged” on a white and floral background. The card features yellow, pink, and black flowers. "Patty Bennett pattystamps.com" is printed at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
Colorful markers lie above a sheet with hand-colored line drawings of various vases holding flowers. The vases are in shades of pink, green, and purple; flowers are blue, yellow, and pink. "Patty Stamps" watermark appears in the bottom right corner. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

When this amazing black and white designer paper was released by Stampin’ Up!, I spent a whole afternoon coloring in images and using blending brushes to color the larger backgrounds. It was delightful!!

A variety of hand-colored, sketched floral arrangements cut from designer paper are spread across a gray surface. Scissors lie among the cutouts. The flowers are in pastel vases and pots, with “PattyStamps.com” and “ARTISAN SKETCHED GARDEN DESIGNER PAPER” text on top. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

And for a different look with other Stampin’ Up! supplies: I used my Opulent Oasis impressions die cut for the focal point, layered on the Arches die.

A hand holds a handmade birthday card with "Happy Birthday" written in cursive. The card has a large, layered peach flower and leaves as embellishments, with a colorful floral background in pink, yellow, and green tones. “Patty Bennett” watermark at bottom.

Coloring Options

I love using the small blending brushes to color the Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper!

A sheet with hand-drawn, outlined flowers is partially colored using pink, yellow, and orange markers and blending brushes. Three small blending brushes and two marker pens are shown above the sheet. A text box explains using blending brushes for detailing flower colors. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Or you can try out Stampin’ Blends makers and Shimmer Brushes for beautiful alternate ways to color the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP.

A collage shows four coloring methods for floral paper: top left—flowers colored with a blending brush on a soft background; top right—roses with a blending brush; bottom left—flowers with Stampin' Blends; bottom right—with a shimmer brush and markers.
