I'm also entering this card into the Craft Stamper Take It Make It October Challenge - Anything Goes (with stamping).
I couldn't pick a favourite flower stamp. Instead, I'm using ONE of my favourites stamps that was gifted to me by a sweet friend. I LOVE colouring this stamp.
For this card, I stamped the outline image in pale brown. Again with the no-line watercolouring ... I'm obsessed with it right now. :) Once I was finished with colouring, I put the stamp back in my Misti (had taken it out because I didn't think I'd stamp it again). Lucky for me, it matched up and I over-stamped in a deeper brown. I really like the softness of the brown outline with the colours I've used. I used that same brown to stamp the sentiment. I added a little detail to the flowers with a white gel pen.
Here's a close-up ...

Beautifully painted, Loll! I've only had moderate success stamping again on a finished card so I'm happy that you succeeded! I too love the brown outline as opposed to the harsh black. That image is just gorgeous!
Fabulous stamp Loll and fantastic colouring! So bright and cheerful! Have a lovely day! Love & Hugs. Hazel xx

Love the colours so spring like and looks awesome in the brown ink. Well done on the re-stamping of the image :)
Such bright and beautiful flowers, my friend! What a happy card! I love the soft brown outline. It adds just enough definition without taking away from the beautiful watercolouring!
Love the gorgeous colours of the pretty flowers, great sentiment in the brown too
Hugs Kaz x
Your no lined watercoloured with your Zigs flowers are so pretty, Loll. I really like how you over stamped again after you watercoloured. It really brought out the colours. TFS my friend. Hugs
Beautiful flowers! The overstamping with brown adds a great touch. It sure makes the colors pop! Lovely card! :) Hugs!
Wow that brown looks fabulous. Different and so effective. Thank goodness for the Misti! Great colouring Loll and the prettiest of stamp and card x
Fresh and lovely, Loll ... the brown outlines add such a lovely softness to your beautiful colouring! Hugs, Anita :)
So lovely.
Stunning, with lovely colours.

Someone was looking out for you, Loll. I've tried putting a stamp back in my MISTI and it was a disaster. I do love the brown outline with the colors you used for your beautiful flowers.
Very beautiful! I love the colours and the brown outline is a lovely touch.
Now that is everything a birthday card should be Loll. WOW.
Gorgeous card Loll and beautifully water colored.
Thank you for the kind words Loll. Your card is wonderful and I love this stamp. I have tried to buy it a few times but it is a very popular stamp and every time I have gone to purchase it has been sold out so I continue to wait. Your colouring of the flowers is of course in my favourite colours as well so it double rocks in its perfection. Thank you so much for joing us at The Flower Challenge Aileen DT
Loll this is fabulous - love the brown - it really softens the whole card
Blessings

Another beautiful Kind Soul creation so beautifully coloured, Loll. Love the bright vibrant colours.
