A Favourite Flower
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: susanbri

 CAS897 = Favourite Flower. We are in full spring flowering here in Vancouver, Canada - beautiful tulips blooming everywhere. So at this moment, they are my favourite flower but if you ask me a month or two from now, it will be a different one!

I created a smooshed background with various red, orange, and yellow Distress inks on watercolour paper. I used a bit too much water and it all blended into this dark peach colour. I put it in my MISTI and stamped the tulip in Versafine black and heat embossed with clear powder. I then used bleach and a waterbrush to lift the background colour from the tulip. I also splattered a bit of bleach on the panel. I chose to leave the tulip white and not add any colour to it. Trimmed it with a stitched rectangle die and added a sentiment.

Beautiful color, Susan. So smart to use bleach to get the color out of the flower too. Really pretty card. Hugz

Lovely - great job on the bleaching technique! Looks really cool. I'm jealous that you have tulips blooming in Vancouver - we're a tad behind that here on the prairies. At least the grass is finally green. Enjoy the blooms!

A beautiful sense of contrast in the white tulip against the warm peach background, and the bleached details give the flower a delicate glow that feels refined and artistic.

Wonderful idea to use a line drawing on a colorful background for a very lovely result (and tulips are rare delights in our heavy clay soil).
