When I first started stamping, I didn't color. Seems strange now, but it's true. The stamps I used were ones that used colored ink for stamping; and some of it was 2-step stamping. For this card I went back to those days. It was kind of fun. Is my stamping perfect? UGH! No!!! I am way off on the second step stamping of the little bloom. But it is what it is.
