I started by stamping the tulips in a cluster onto Canson Water Colour paper with Versafine Vintage Sepia, masking as I stamp to get the overlapping effect. Next I water coloured the tulips with Winsor & Newton water colours and Caran d'Ache Suprasoft water colour pencils. For the background, I did a wash with Distress Inks: Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. To add interest to the project, I tried some green Lawn Fawn twine around the white card base before mounting the image panel with some foam tape.
I couldn't help but add some shimmer to the tulips with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush Tip and a few tiny pale pink bling around the blooms.

True to form, we are having a wet April. But you know that they say: "March winds and April showers, Bring forth May flowers". Well, I can't wait for blooming May! I'm trying to settle into a new routine. It's not easy but your encouraging e-mails, comments and cards have been a HUGE help... more than you'll ever know. Thank you so much.
Have beautiful Sunday, friends!
Beijinhos!

These tulps are a true joy for the soul, my friend! So lovely and bright with your fabulous colouring and the sparkling details! Just amazing! The little twine detail is perfect to add interest and the light and delicate background makes the tulips pop out very well, they seem in moving!
