The Paper Players #383 and The Flower Challenge #18

I'm as eager for Spring as The Paper Players who have a Spring photo for our inspiration this week.
I immediately thought of my PTI tulips and wanted another go with my Polychromos. This is the resulting card.
After coloring on the Toned Gray paper, I thought the card needed something else so I cut some copy paper with the tulip die and used it as a mask so I could stamp the background with the MFT burlap stamp.  The sentiment is from Jillian Vance.  I still need pencil practice but it's so much fun coloring that I don't mind.

I'm also going to send this card to The Flower Challenge where the theme is "Anything Goes".

Thanks for dropping by.

Just beautiful! I haven't ever used these pencils before, but your technique looks pretty good to me! I am equally impressed that you fussy-cut the mask to stamp that awesome background! Thank you so much for playing with our Spring Challenge this week at the Players!

Love them Bobby, these tulips are on my list like many of the floral stamps of I want/need. I think I need to get some of this grey Tones paper and try colouring as well, it really is effective. Beautiful card. Thank you so much for joing us at The Flower Challenge Aileen DT
