Red Tulips Tag


Hello!  This is my card for the Tag You're It! Challenge.

When I saw this months lovely tag made by Lindsey M-P I immediately thought of my Grandma.  My Grandma's favorite flowers are tulips and she loves red.  I love that when I make cards I can personalize them for the recipient.  For my card I stamped the tulip image (from Wplus9) in a light pink shade of Distress Ink on watercolor card stock.  I painted the stamped image using Peerless Water Colours.  I painted the flower in areas that were not adjacent to a wet area, for example I would paint a petal then the next petal to paint would be on the other flower.  If the wet paint touches more wet paint they will bleed together and the no line water coloring would loose its definition, it wouldn't work.  If I painted a petal next to one that was wet the paint would spread together and it would look like a blob or if the green of the stem touched still wet red paint of the flowers the colors would mix.  Once the image was dry I die cut the tag shape and adhered fun foam to create dimension.  I coated the die cut sentiment with Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents.

Thanks for looking, I hope you play along with the Tag You're It! Challenge.
