My Creative Monday for Magenta - Tulip bliss

 OK, I confess..
 I LOVE this tulip stamp..
I am in the Magenta team from 2011 onward, and never felt the urge to have it in my collection.. until I saw a sample (in a craft shop, online) from Miranda Degenaars, one of my teamies at Magenta. 
The background was created in stages.. a stencil, structure paste and Nuance powders. It sat in my art journal .. until I made the fussy cut tulip and decided they were a perfect match. 

I also stamped some script and background stamps in the background, and added more color with a watercolor pencil into the images in the background. 

 It is a perrrfect stamp for stamping in layers with lighter colors first and then adding darker ones .. I've used watercolor markers to achieve that. 
To tone down the red and green a little, I added touches of yellow with a colored pencil.. and of course.. white glimpes with an acrylic marker. 

Enjoy crafting
