Watercolor, stamps and ribbon. To me that is such a creative and romantic combination.
Stamping with Shirley the other day, I used a piece of her 8.5" x 11" watercolor paper, washed it with an aqua painter and water then washed it with Baja Breeze and a little Old Olive (that really lightened up). And then played with a couple of her Anna Griffin stamps in Not Quite Navy.
When I looked at the images today, I decided to add a little more color to the tulips using my Pink Pirouette re-inker and Aqua Pen. Then, with an almost dry brush, I added some old olive.
Next step was to add some Antique Linen distress ink (whisc smeared the tulips just a smidge so be careful).
Then, the inside of the card.
There is something about this tulip, stamped on Very Vanilla, punched out with the large oval punch, edged with Pink Pirouette ink and Antique Linen distress ink that make my heart sing. I love it.
I originally saw this card over at Megan's site and wanted to make something similar, but then I saw the tulips and went for it. What do you think?
