Painted Tulips

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly inked through the Rosette Mask using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink, then repeated with the Woven Mask and Bundled Sage Distress Ink. Then, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Tulip Spray Stamp using Victorian Velvet. I wrapped some White Satin Edged Organza around the centre.

I stamped the Justrite Lace Oval Fram onto Black Card using Perfect Medium and embossed using Cosmic Shimmer Pink Speckle Embossing Powder. I cut an aperture out of the centre using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals.

 I mixed a little of the Red Fire Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Subtle Shades Mica Spray Set with a little water and painted onto the flower heads on the Tulip Spray Stamp. I mixed a little Golden Malachite Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Garden Flora Mica Spray Set with a little water and painted the leaves on the stamp. I misted lightly with water and stamped onto Coconut White Card. I set this within the aperture of the Lace Frame.

I tied a bow using White Satin Edged Organza and added a Pink Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Today's card is lovely. I love how you do your backgrounds. I have started to do this now myself. I have the background but just love the tulips you have used. My must have list is getting bigger. The speckled embossing powders are lovely as well/

    I love today's card. It is beautiful - the background - the focal stamped image - right to the perfect pink bow and dazzler! One of my favourites.
