Faux Silk Tulips

Hi there, Stampin' Friends!  If you are looking for a fun technique to add to your stamping, then you need to give the faux silk technique a try.  It has been around for a long time. However, I forget to how much I enjoy it and what a beautiful effect it produces.  Here is one of the cards I have created using this technique:

 

I have used an aqua painter to color in my tulips and Soft Suede to sponge around the image and give it dimension.

Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think.  If you have questions, please ask!

Blessed Watercolor

Hi there Stampin' Friends!  Do you like to watercolor?  If so, the Blessed Easter stamp set is a perfect design to do just that! I separated the greeting part of the stamp from the floral image. This makes the set more versatile for me. The tulips are easy to shade and the color combinations are unlimited.  They look gorgeous in bold colors or pastels.  It's all up to the artist!  It's way too cold for the tulips in my garden to be peaking out let alone blooming.  In anticipation, I have created them on card stock!

The Framed Tulip embossing folder is the perfect background to create a frame for the little 'garden' of tulips. Coloring with the aqua painter on watercolor paper, a little spritzing with the retired spritzing tool, sponging and distressing with Jet Black Stazon, and there you have it!

The inside matte presents a beautiful place for your message!

I would love for you to let me know what you think by leaving a comment.  If you have questions, please feel free to ask!
