Flora Background Stamp and Colouring on Coloured Cardstock

I recently purchased this awesome background stamp solely due to the video that is linked below. 

Yana Smakula creates fabulous artwork and I watched this a while ago. I didn't have the same stamp so I tried it with a different stamp. The effects are terrific with the same stamp that she used - although my colouring skills aren't very good...

It was so much fun to create these two cards - stamping and then colouring on coloured cardstock gives a really neat appearance in the end. 

I chose to stamp on Mint and Pixie cardstock for my bases. The sentiments were embossed on vellum using silver embossing powder. A few glitter gems were randomly placed on the cards and the bases of the flowers were brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush. Each was mounted on the card base using foam tape.
