Yellow

It's another rainy day here.

But the shine is shining on these tulips!


I stamped the flowers from the Blessed Easter set.

(I had separated the sentiment from the flowers for easier stamping.
I like getting two for one with a single stamp!)

I inked the stamps with markers and used an Aqua Painter to blend the colors.

If I need more color, I either use a drop of re-inker on a plastic lid or swipe a marker on the lid and pick up the color with an almost dry brush.

As usual, I went way outside the lines on one.

So I fussy cut it out, shaped it a bit with my bone folder and
 popped it over another stamped image.

NOT SO MELLOW YELLOW
