The challenge at Make It Monday is Fussy Cutting, as it is at the Power Poppy blog, and the challenge at the Spectrum Noir May challenge is to use their products with flowers!
I kept my card very simple and let these lovely tulips be the star of the show. It's such a shame that when tulips are cut, they last only a short time. So this is my way of enjoying a paper bouquet of them for a bit longer! I stamped them on watercolor paper, colored them with my Aqua Markers and a water brush, then fussy-cut them out and popped them above the board background, tying on a soft ribbon and a tiny tag..
ETA: Thanks to Theresa's comment below, I'll also enter this into The Card Concept's current challenge, in the Clean and Layered style:

ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous. I almost used this stamp for my MIM card, but then found another Friendship jar flower that I has never seen even one measly drop of ink. I love how your flowers are painted so beautifully and tied with that gorgeous bow. Your woodgrain paper is the perfect backdrop for your beautiful bouquet.
ReplyDeleteYour card really stood out to me in the gallery and I had to come take a closer look. It is truly beautiful, Lin.
ReplyDeleteOh, these tulips are beautiful, Lin, and I love how they pop against the weathered wood background. Another stunning card! Hugs!
