I wanted a big colorful central image on my card, so I played with a NBUS stamp set that I got last Stamptember and hadn't inked up.
After I stamped and colored the image, I masked it off then sponged some Distress Inks around the flowers. After removing the mask, I went around the outside of the image with a yellow Copic marker to accentuate the flowers. I die-cut both the card base and the colored panel with a stitched die and added a strip of striped paper inbetween the two layers.
The sentiment comes from another WPlus9 set and was cut with a slanted sentiment strip die.

Gorgeous tulips, Karren! I love how you created a no-line effect using London Fog to outline the blooms and leaves! I also love how you created your background...Clever idea to use your Copics, too! Another really beautiful creation!
Your flowers are gorgeous and the yellow backdrop just adds to their beauty! Amazing color work!
Oh wow! This card is so amazing Karren! I love those flowers and that incredible background! Everything just jumps off the page. The flowers remind me of spring and that it may be just around the corner...hopefully! It all looks amazing on that black background!
