Different Ways to Color a Stamped Image

Coloring. Something we learn how to do when we are toddlers. Crayons can be fun, but the options are so much greater as we get older. You have several choices of coloring when it comes to Stampin’ Up!.  Below are 8 peony flowers, all the same stamped image and colors of Calypso Coral and Granny Apple Green.  Each image uses shows a different way to color a stamped image.  All of the peonies that have a white background use the Shimmery White card stock , which works very well when introducing water.  Plus, there is a slight hint of shimmer.
