Steps:

1. Draw the flower shapes on the craft foam; cut the shapes out, and then use hot glue to attach them to a larger backing piece of foam to make the stamp easier to hold.
2. Use a long level and pencil to lightly mark the border area where you want the flowers to be located. Put painter's tape along the lines, leaving the pencil marks exposed, and then paint the border.
3. Use a foam brush to apply color onto a flower stamp. Press it to the wall and push on all areas to get a complete impression. If desired, protect an area outside the lines of the border with painter's tape and scrap paper for partial flowers. Remove the protective layer and stamp some designs outside the painted border lines.
4. Fill-in any areas as desired. Let dry.
