Begonias or roses… make them whatever you want! 🙂 The Stampin’ Up! July 2026 Product of the Month is a gorgeous stamp set called Begonia Belle. I used it on my weekly live video yesterday, but since I feel like they look more like roses, I am calling them roses. 🙂 (in my defense.. the begonia’s in my garden look NOTHING like this stamp… I shared that on the video).
I did have a GREAT time playing with this 2 step floral image, and have included my color combo suggestions, the video replay and supplies at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
Be sure to check out the video to see how I added more than 2 colors to this 2 step stamp by using a sponge dauber.. I think it turned out amazing!
I used ink pads plus the sponge dauber.. be sure to watch the video for all the inking possibilities.
Below: I used Poppy Parade and Real Red for the roses, and Shaded Spruce for the leaves. I kept the card super simple with a white panel on a top fold Real Red card.
Two Step Color Combo suggestions:
Above: one thing to note.. the flowers look different depending on which image you use for the darker or lighter ink. I don’t believe there is a right or wrong answer, and the fun is in playing with combinations and colors!
The reason I created so many different leaves is that to my eye, some flowers need a cool green leaf, some need a warm green leaf, and some need bold or soft colors.. so I stamped a bunch!

An amazing discovery!!
I read a tip on the Metallic Magic facebook group, about using the hot foil dies with the Impressions plate to “emboss”… guess what… it totally works!!!!!! Normally it’s used with our Impressions dies, but it sure works with the Garden Silhouette hot foil die!!!!!!
I used that Crisp Cantaloupe embossed background for my card below. I inked these begonias to look like my mom’s favorite Whisky Mac roses. I also added some Crisp Cantaloupe shimmer pen to the rose.. it shows up beautifully in person!
The shimmer pen adds lovely details, it shows up much better in person.
More roses stamped with all the Stampin’ UP! colors shown below in different combinations. It was SO fun to play!
