I follow a few people on Instagram who paint or draw or both and sometime ago I saw a video where the person drew a flower and painted a golden background around it in a shape of circle, while leaving the flower unpainted just black and white. It looked really good and I thought I could do the same, but instead of drawing the flower, I can just use stamps. And that's what I did and I love the result. I think this is a perfect idea if you are a beginner cardmaker and do not have many supplies yet. All you need to do to make this card is to get a stamp set with a flower. You can buy something new or like me just search through your stash and find something that would fit. I used my stamping tool for the stamping, which is always useful as you can re-stamp, but of course you can use an acrylic block. Should you have imperfect stamping with gaps, what you could do is use a black fine-liner and correct it that way. Since I'm using watercolours for the background, I used a waterproof black ink, more specifically the Versafine ink in Onyx black. After I stamped the flower, I used a compass to draw a circle. If you do not have a compass, you can use a glass for example. I also slightly erased the pencil lines, so they are only somewhat visible. Next I painted the circle I used the golden watercolour set from Kuretake, more specifically the red gold and I painted the circle. First I painted directly around the flower and then I filled the circle. This way I find it easier not to have streaks. During the painting process I managed to cover some of the black lines and here is when the stamping tool was very useful. I still had the stamp inside and was able to re-stamp. However if I had removed the stamp, I would use a black fine-liner or just leave it as it is. It wasn't that bad. I let it dry and then I painted the corners of the panel using a black paint. This is something I like to do, just to create a separation between the panel and the card base. You can skip it if you want. After the black paint was completely dry I stamped the greeting. I went with a neutral sentiment that says Just for you, making this card perfect for many occasions, from Birthday to Mother's day or simply saying Hello. Lastly I adhered the panel on top of a white card base using a liquid glue and the card is finished. Quick and simple to make and I think it looks really pretty and elegant.
