SC921 = I used a cover-all die to create the diamond bg. My flower panel has also been enlarged.
WCW118 = painting white flower(s) with dark bg. The video was very good, but I departed somewhat. I liked her flowers before she painted the petal edges with gold paint...so I used gold ink for splatters and didn't outline the tulip's petals. Also, just a personal perference, I'm not fond of "head on" flowers, so this is more a side 3/4 view of the flower. Added a gold pen border around the panel.

So lovely! The rich background adds a magical touch to your white tulip. Like coming across it at night in the moonlight, though I know tulips close up at night :-) This is beautiful Sallie.

Love the cover die, and the purple sure makes that blossom pop! Beautiful!

So Beautiful just the way you presented this bloom, Sallie! I didn't like the gold outlining of her flower either. Great use of the gold for your splatters and a lovely bg panel as well~

I love that you did a tulip and it is gorgeous. Wonderful shading of it, also. I like your gold splatters.

I am all about gold splatters! I like how your shadows bring the flower to life. You used the sketch beautifully! This would make beautiful wall decor.
