Birthday tulips

Are all your tulips gone? None of mine flowered this year, not even the faithful two that predated our move into this house! I have planted quite a few over the years but I believe they became squirrel lunches. These ones are coloured with zig clean colour real brush pens. I chose an orange and a yellow then coloured some in just orange, one just yellow and a few with a mix of the two pens. The whole image was first stamped in antique linen distress ink which is so good for no-line colouring.
Once again I really enjoyed painting the bucket to give it an aged look with a mix of grey and brown pens. I drew the black centres in after colouring.
To frame the tulips I used two dies, a smaller one from the Waffle Flower A2 layer dies to cut the stamped panel and the other from Waffle Flower additional A2 layers to cut a very narrow green ⅛” mat.
The sentiment is from PB ‘birthday humor’ set but I stamped only part of the phrase and cut it with a die from the PB ‘pocket full’ die set.

This is a bright and beautiful card, Heather! Love the yellow and orange tulips and the distressed bucket! A bright and sunny look for a rainy day.
Wow Heather, I just adore this amazing container, beautifully coloured, and then the wonderful tulips, so fresh and prettty. Cutting a matted rectangle just gives it that bit more interest, and finished with a lovely sentiment too. x
Beautiful tulips and you paint th most wonderful buckets!
Your painting is,as usual, excellent Heather. This is a gorgeous card and I think that the pop of colour from the narrow green mat, actually looks like a frame.
Just catching up on email and saw this beauty and as it was shared on my actual birthday I will take it! 😅😘 Kidding of course but I wanted to say hi, hope you are safe and let you know that especially in these crazy times that your cards continue to inspire!
Cheers, Laura
Thank you so much Laura, and Happy Birthday!
