I'm on the Papertrey Ink blog today for the newest Great Cover-Up challenge! We are highlighting black and white with a pop of color so you know I didn't blink before choosing the newest Into the Bloom set of tulip dies.
I have a really large scrap/leftover pile and I try to whittle it down each time I create. I chose three different black and white patterned papers and added a trio of blocks to cover the background. I like to cut out all my floral pieces from white card stock (Bristol Smooth Surface is my choice when Iâm going to color blend). I use blending brushes combined with sponge daubers to add a touch of color to a small area. I added a hint of Pale Peony and Summer Sunrise inks to give more depth to some of the petals. I used New Leaf and Ripe Avocado for the leaves and highlighted with some Lemon Tart ink. If you examine leaves in real life, you will often find a yellowish hint with the greens. Next comes the finishing touches: a white embossed sentiment tag with brad and twine and rain drop embellishments. Popping up some of the tulip petals and the sentiment tag also adds depth and dimension.
