Hello Friends! Happy Sunday! Today I have a Mother's Day card to share. I used this image a few months ago on THIS card. I love the tulips because they are so much fun to color.
This time I opted not to use the Mason Jar and my color palette was inspired by the patterned paper I used. It's from Stampin' Up! and it's called Watercolor Wonder. The colors and patterns in this paper pack are so pretty and fun!
Anyway...back to the card. I stamped the image onto watercolor paper using Versamark ink and I embossed it with brown embossing powder. Then, I watercolored the image using ink that I transferred from various ink pads. Stampin' Up! has gradient shades of the same color in some of their ink pads. So, I put those to use to create shade and shadow on the image. I used Distress Ink to color the blue background. I mounted the focal image with dimensional adhesive. I added a few sequins and a sentiment to finish it off.
Blessings~

After the image was dry, I added lots of sparkle with a Wink of Stella glitter brush. Can you tell I'm having a love affair with the Pretty Pink Posh sequins?! Oh my goodness! They are getting adhered to EVERYTHING that I create these days! The sparkle on these sequins is AMAZING!
Well, that's all I have for you today. Thank you for visiting!

Absolutely gorgeous, Barb! I remember that first card and what a lovely job you did on it. This card is just as beautiful! Love the gradient colors and the blue background. Gorgeous work!
Your delicate blue background really makes the tulips stand out, Barb. Your coloring and shading is just magnificent. You really work the WOS - love all the sparkle! I wish I had even half your coloring skill :)
