Sweet tulip

Hello blog friends!

One of the great things about designing stamps is that I get to be a bit selfish :0)  I get to design things *I* want to stamp, in a style I want to work with.  I like large images to use with Copics, because I like acting like a kid with crayons and a brand new coloring book!

Working with Lauren at My Time Made Easy, as many of you follow her, she makes her love of tulips well knows.  So, when I was designing Bee-Loved stamp set, I wanted to make sure I included a tulip, one that I could color! :0)

Another image that can "hold down a card" all on it's own.

One of my tricks I remember learning when I was taking the Copic Designer class, was to use Momento London Fog (a grey ink) if I wanted a stamp to look like a pencil drawing.  I used that tip on this card, it gives a softer appearance to my delicate tulip.  A few small bees along the side stamped in VersaMark complete the card, and finally added the "Sweet as can bee" sentiment from Bee-Loved Sentiments along the bottom in black, so it stands out a bit.

This is intended for my sister for Mother's Day, as she is a tulip fan too :0)

Thanks for stopping by!
