My Creative Monday for Magenta - Two colorful Tulip collages II

Still in the tulip theme, just as previous two Mondays.. 

This time I did a makeover of the two cards from last week
.. same background... fussycut flower adhered over the top !
I left the leaves as is. 

This week's first card ...
versus

... last week's card below!

Isn't it beautiful as well?
The flower has been stamped in a stamping platform, applying color to it with watercolor markers and reapplying and restamping again and again.. starting with an overall orange red to the darker red and even black in some areas.

This week's second card ... 
versus
...the second card below from last week: a more yellowish tulip. 

The flower has been stamped in a stamping platform, applying color to the stamp with watercolor markers and reapplying and restamping again and again.. starting with an overall lighter red, misting with water before stamping;  to the darker reds in some areas; no black! 
I added a very light yellow with a colored pencil to the surface to make it more interesting.. 

Why did I do this?
I was not sure which version I liked better, and decided I would show both versions.. why not?
