Well, I haven't been stamping much since I haven't been sleeping much, so this is a challenge catch up card and I blew it and used Island Indigo instead of Bermuda Bay on my color challenge. This card is for today's Mixability Challenge to use tulips and three kinds of medium. This is my first attempt at embossing paste and I think I need to go and watch some YouTube videos on how to work with this. After the paste dried I added pastels and markers and ink from pads to color the embossed image and also added pastel shadows in the background to suggest other tulips. I did the tone on tone card for the Free for all Challenge and used an embossing folder that was older but not yet out of the package and the tulip stencil that I bought more than a year ago and had never used for Yesterday's Ways to Use It challenge. I also used this week's sketch.

I used modeling paste for the first time this week too! I think it looks amazing, especially the "smeared" tulips on the main panel. Thanks for shopping in your own stamp room with me this week!
