I was given a challenge. Make a masculine card using flowers. So these two cards were produced using this beautiful stencil. Crimson and Mountain Pine Altenew Crisp ink was used as the base for these tulips and their greenery. I let them dry and then added Maple Yellow on the flowers, stems, and leaves to give depth. I followed up with a small blending brush with just a bit more red on a few petals for a bit more dimension. Everything was then outlined in gold pen. To add more masculine strength to the card, it was mounted on a brownish-green cardstock and the sentiment was cut from the same material. On one card I did not color the bottom Tulip, but filled the space with green using the center of that tulip only as it got in the way of this particular sentiment. I really enjoyed working with this stencil and have many more ideas for it.
