It's so nice of you to drop by. I'm wishing you and yours all the best that Life can bring!
It is a fun "mood-board-inspired" monthly challenge which features Flowers as the main focus.
The Mood Board is a starting point, and your artwork is where your imagination takes you!
Details are on the blog. Hope to see you there!
I was inspired by the tulips, pinks, and shades of green in this mood board.
Today's card is full of "oldies". Old stamps, mostly old inks, old techniques, even old paper! Maybe even "the Old" was inspired by the mood board with the retro pop coat in the bottom right. (smile)
Because this virginal stamp was inked with VersaFine Clair, an old, old technique was utilized to blend in the pink tones. Remember the Dove Blenders? That was used with Distress inkers. A Copic marker was lightly used to highlight the green tones. Easy and quick!
Looking forward to seeing how this month's mood board inspires you
at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.

How beautiful Dona, your Tulips have such a dreamy almost ethereal feel to them and isn't it a good feeling to get out those oldies now and again.

Fabulous look for those lovely tulips!! Love the background too!
Donna, your cards are always a work of art. Don't you love "shopping your stash" and finding treasures you've forgotten about? Thanks for a wonderful team project for the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge this month!

This does not look easy and quick! Another beautiful creation! That strip of pink brings out the pop of pink of the tulips - you are so creative Donna!
Beautifully created Donna, what a great technique, feels pretty good to get the old out and put to use doesn't it? A fabulously designed card! And thanks for joining us at Colorful Options too!
WOW! What a beautiful image and your coloring is spot on!!
That is really a cool looking card, and I love the simple edge of pink that reflects those tulips perfectly! Fun card!
Donna, your pretty tulips are fascinating to me in that I love all the older products you used, including the SU Burlap background. I remember hearing about the Dove blenders so I looked them up and they're still around with refills and extra tips. I'm wondering about the quality of the tips or nibs. You know I love my Tombows with homemade blender, but really curious about this. See how you inspire me? Thank you!
Loving the look of your pretty pink tulips and all of that lovely green. Great color combo and so Spring like!!!
what a lovely card Donna

So pretty, I like how you added the touch of color to your flowers, and the pink strip off to the left to bring out the color!
This is beautiful Donna, lovely shades of green, my favourite colour, love how you've coloured the stamp, such an effective technique.

Fabulous card, those shades of green are gorgeous, lovely, designed card and pretty new blog header, hugs, Lori m
This is beautiful Donna and I do love tulips. It almost looks like fabric. I do love a bit of retro and vintage and Im looking forward to my tulips showing their heads in the garden too, especially after all this unexpected cold weather that we have had for this time of year. Michelle x
What a fantastic image you have and I love how the mood board inspired this card. It is great when we can pull out old stamps for new cards.
Merci Donna pour votre très gentil commentaire sur mon blog.
Oui, les glaïeuls ne poussent pas partout, mais cela fait de si jolis bouquets. Moi, je n'ai pas de jardins, alors comme j'adore les fleurs, je fleuris mon balcon en été et le reste de l'année, j'achète des bouquets.
Mais j'ai la chance d'avoir un mari qui fleurit les évènements importants.
Très joli blog, Donna et superbe carte avec des tulipes ♥

Thank you Donna for your very nice comment on my blog.
Yes, gladioli don't grow everywhere, but they make such pretty bouquets. Me, I don't have gardens, so as I love flowers, I flower my balcony in summer and the rest of the year, I buy bouquets.
But I'm lucky to have a husband who flowers important events.
Very nice blog, Donna and beautiful card with tulips ♥
love this, it's so dreamy!! great job using up the oldies but goodies!

Beautiful spring creation! I just love the textured look of this image and how you’ve added just a hint of pink.
I love the texture you've created here. Thank you for joining us at Colorful Options.
