A Spring Tulip

 Hi there! I think all of the spring flowers coming out has got me reaching for my tulip stamp again! Here is a spring card to share with you. 

I cut a piece of watercolour card 9 x 20cm and sprayed it with Distress oxide sprays. 

Once this was dry I sprayed water through the circles dinkable to make a faux bleached effect.

I stamped little patches of the script stamp in  tea dye distress ink onto the background

Next I used morning mist versafine clair ink to stamp the tulip onto the panel.

I coloured it using ecoline pens. At this point I decided to make the tulip more dimensional.

I stamped the flower twice in Versafine Clair charming Pink, cutting off the petals that are to the rear of the flower on one of them. I then shaped these and attached them using 3d glue. I also added a few highlights in white gellyroll pen.

I stamped a speckled border around the edge of the panel in vintage photo distress ink

Finally I stuck the panel to an ivory DL card and added a sentiment stamped in brown ink.
