Have you ever noticed how a few bright blooms can do all the work on a card?
Today I’m sharing a bold stenciled floral design where the color really takes center stage. Three big blooms, some quick stencil coloring, and a clean background let the flowers shine.
Ready to take a quick look at today’s card?

Creating bright floral cards like this, is a fun way to let color take center stage!
Card Inspiration – Bright Stenciled Florals 🌸
For this card, I used coordinating stencils to add color to three large floral images. Stencils are a quick and easy way to build layers of color.
Because the flowers are so bold and colorful, I kept the rest of the design fairly clean. Letting the florals take center stage helps the colors stand out and keeps the card feeling bright and modern.
PRO TIP: Using at least two tones of ink (I used all four!) with your stencil layers is an easy way to add shading and make the blooms look more dimensional.
