It started with a crazy daisy card, and the story continues .... with a crazy tulip.
Making the background was really fun. I had bought embossed cards and one of the cards came out of the package with pretty severe damage. It was clearly visible on both sides. So I deciced to use this card for something entirely different ..... I colourized the card with my Inktense pencils, sprayed some water on it and put a white piece of mixed media paper on it, and pulled it off immediately. I had no idea what to expect, but it worked like a charm ... great background in 2 minutes.
I used Memento and Versamagic for the background stamps. I then stamped the tulip and border, and masked the tulip before adding the other flower stamps. I did some masking inbetween as well. I colourized all the flowers and the border with Derwent coloursoft, this was so much fun to do!
Now it was time for the finishing touch ... I added golden dots to the border.
