More Red Tulips

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

These Waffle Flower Tulips were a good investment.  I've had a lot of fun
with them.  You'll be seeing them again this Spring.


I used them for our March calendar page and had so much fun coloring them
with Copics.  But I wanted to try coloring them with Distress Re-inkers
like Jill Foster does for Penny Black.

The colors of the re-inkers are very intense and it took a bit to get used to
how much water to use with them.  I'll keep working with them.

I used one of Jill's sketches for this card too.

Challenges:

I loved the coloring on the calendar card but this surpasses that. Those petals look like velvet that you want to touch and smell! Just stunning, Bonnie.

Absolutely gorgeous coloring and a stunning card! They pop so beautifully on all white. I've tried water coloring Jill's way a couple of times, but it never works out. Back to my old ways and I guess that's okay. Your watercolor turned out amazing. Thanks for joining us at Double D!
