Anyways the start of this card came about just with me playing and experimenting. I highly recommend two things with the Zig; Bristol Paper & Lawn Fawn's new Jellyfish ink. I've tried a number of inks for the no line look and this is by far my favorite.
I did the background with a very basic ink blending with distress oxides in Cracked Pistachio. I splattered the whole background with extra ink for texture and interest; like a flower field full of pollen (achoo!) I just planted my own front garden bed with tulips for the first time. I cant wait to see them bloom! To finish the background I stamped the sentiment in a bold black ink as I thought it would help balance the bees.
I stamped and colored a bunch of tulips. The colors are as follows: 050 Yellow, 052 Bright Yellow (this looks more orange to me) 025 Pink, 045 Pale Green, 031 Cobalt Blue & 081 Light Violet. I only used 1 color per flower and blended out using the blender pen (which I have since lost boooooo!!) The stems are 041 Light Green. I used the same 050 Yellow on the bees along with 010 Black. And a tiny little bit of the Cobalt Blue on the wings. I just love how it turned out!
Thanks for stopping by!
