I decided to ink up some of these beautiful tulips from Clearly Besotted called Spring Tulips. Sadly I don't seem to have much luck with growing tulips - I've tried them in the ground and pots and I never seem to end up with a crop.
I started off my sponging my background with some More Mustard Distress Ink and then edging it in SU Tangerine Tango. I stamped the script stamp from SU Background Bits in Soft Suede as the background and the same with the tag.
The tulips were coloured in with a water colour brush using SU Crushed Curry and Tangerine Tango, with Pear Pizazz and Wild Wasabi for the leaves. I used some Crushed Curry twine for the top of the tag and a Tangerine Tango heart for the tinier tag. The sentiment is from the same set.
I'm adding this into the following:

This is gorgeous Fiona. I love the soft colours you have used. The lovely text background works so well with the colours and what gorgeous colouring of the tulips. Thanks for joining us at Time Out x
Love this, Fiona! Your coloring for the tulips is gorgeous, and I love the pale texty background - very vintage! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Even if you can't grow tulips you can certainly stamp them! I love that they pop with their bright colors against the soft textured background! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
This is so nice! I love the design with the tag and your flowers are so soft and pretty! Thanks for playing with us at Time Out Challenges!

There's a lovely soft vintage look to this dreamy design, Fiona ... the subtle scripty background really complements those wonderfully coloured tulips! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Anita :)
