Hello Tulips

Tulips are my second favourite flower.  There's something so vibrant and perfect about their sturdy blooms, and they are the perfect sign of spring.

So, I especially love this little bucket of tulips from the Flourishes set, April Showers.  And as I was thinking about how I wanted to colour them, I went looking at some different tulip pictures and found some pretty bright pink ones with orange edges.  So that's how I coloured these.

I paired the image that I had stamped on Flourishes Classic White with Memento Ink with some pretty MME papers - Market, that I found at Michaels.  For the cardstock I had some pretty Color Made Easy Candy Pink on hand but it wasn't quite the right tone, so I just took my Canteloupe Memento ink and used my ink blending tool and sponged the edges to give them more of that orangey-pink tone.  Inside the main Spellbinder's square I sponged Ranger - Spun Sugar and Canteloupe Memento give give it that rosy glow.  

As you can hopefully see I added some seam binding that I also tinged orange on the edges with my YR04 Copic - it just carries over that pinky-orange edged theme from the tulips.  

The little sentiment "hello" is from the fun set Tiny Flowers and Tags.  

Makes me long for spring!  You too?
