Wonderful challenge! I've been doing a lot of water color lately..sort of returning to my roots. The other day I made a bunch of water color backgrounds. Some using water color paints & some using distress inks. This one was made w/ a series of washes using w/c tube paints.
The frame was die cut first, edged w/ a black marker, then the tulips & leaves were cut out of the leftover pieces. A white background was cut to fit inside the frame using a pierced rectangle die then the flowers were arranged on top. The Bloom die was cut out of black 3 times and stacked together. I added just the flower centers cut out of a little pink area from the watercolor background.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie - how fun and delightful. I'm trying to put my finger on just what this reminds me of - but it's only on the fringes of my thoughts just now. I love the matching frame.
And that great Bloom die with the floral "o"s.
