Vibrant Tulips

Hi friends! This is Angelica and I am showcasing the beautiful Tulips stamp set today. This set is currently 15% off during the Spring Savings sale valid through 4-28-2020. code: SPRING2020

Up here, in the Pacific Northwest, tulips are in full bloom. It’s so much fun to watch my neighborhood become filled with spring flowers, and tulips are my favorite! I decided on no-line watercoloring, and stamped the tulips with Antique Linen Distress ink. I used Daniel Smith watercolors, and painted the flowers in layers. The first layer was adding color, second layer was adding shadows, third layer was deepening lines.  Once I was finished painting, I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the tulips.

For the background, I brushed a light wash of blue sky onto watercolor paper, and let the panel dry. I trimmed the panel down, added the tulips with thin foam squares, and cut off anything hanging over the bottom edge. I attached the panel to a card base with foam adhesive, and finished the card with a sentiment from Hedgehog Friends stamp set.

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope I have helped with ideas using the Tulips stamp set. I will be back soon with more card inspiration!
