AAA #37

Some people think robins are the first sign of Spring but to me it's tulips.  That's why I used them for the challenge at AAA - It's Springtime.


I stamped and masked the tulip from Penny Black, using Distress Ink.  Then using a combo of DI and Inktense pencils, I colored the flowers and background that was cut with
SSS stitched squares.  The sentiment from Clearly Besotted is stamped in HA Charcoal.

Thanks for stopping by. Your visits are always appreciated.

Stunning, Bobby! You're creating some gorgeous pieces of art with your Inktense pencils...in my view, this one would be ever so beautiful in a frame. I'm visualizing a set of three - different colours or flowers - on a kitchen wall. A chance to see Spring no matter what the weather...

Bobby--this is simply gorgeous. It really looks like an oil painting that should be hanging on the wall.
