Hi friends,
I tried yesterday to do this technique, over and over but decided I had the wrong stamp and needed something bigger and with less detail inside. Well, this stamp is a LOT bigger but it still has a lot of detail inside but oh well. I made my reverse mask for just the bloom, sprayed it with yellow, pink lemonade and gold then I stenciled it with pink and a Memory Box star burst grunge type stencil, then I stamped it with the script.
Took the mask off and water colored the bg. I added some shadow to the bloom with a dk pink just to give it a bit of shape and I used inktense pencils to do the stem and leaf...still practicing with those. after I finished I made a stencil of chicken wire with my Cheery Lynn die and used some Dream Weaver paste to add "something", then sprinkled it with Diamond Dust. After it was dry I trimmed, added ribbon and mounted it.
Thanks for looking!

Wonderful! Wonderful detail. You got a great mix of colors in the background, Robin. It just pops that tulip front and center! Very nice mixed media and very worthy of those Favs : )
