Spring Tulips for Mom ~ HSS411, GDP388

Hello stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments April photo inspiration challenge.  I chose to be inspired by the bottom left photo with the tulips.  I used an old set from several years ago called Tranquil Tulips.  I also used some inspiration from the CASE challenge over at Global Design Project.  

I stamped the tulips in Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink along with Parakeet Party stems and leaves, on watercolor paper.  I used my aquapainter brush to go over all the tulips to make them look more watercolored.  I added some little daffodil delight flowers to add some extra color.  After the flowers dried, I brushed on some Bashful Blue with my small blender brush all over the panel and around the flowers.  I added a layer of Tahitian Tide around the edge to darken the top of the blue sky a little.  

I flicked water over the entire front panel after blending the blue inks to lift some of the ink off where the droplets landed.  I just like this look. 

The sentiments are from Well Written dies and Thoughtful Banners.

I finished off the card by added a few In Color Jewels.
