I have an entry for February's CAS Watercolour Card Challenge. The challenge cue is Pink and Red.
I broke out a new Newton's Nook Stamp, and colored the tulips with some Zig markers on watercolor paper. I used a wet brush to soften the red. The dress was colored in pink. After it was dry, I went back to the tulips and I gave them more red, with a tiny bit more blending. I think those tulips look positively velvety.
I added an oval hemstitch die to frame my image and mounted it on a red card-stock base. The sentiment too, is from the Newton's Nook Set Loads of Blooms.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
