Easter tulips

I may have run out of bunny digi stamps, but I still have plenty of Power Poppy ones waiting to be coloured.

I chose these tulips to make an Easter card for my mum and my aim was to use some softer, more pastel, colours and not immediately reach for the super-saturated vivid reds and yellows. And I did it! I actually managed to restrain myself and create more subtle blends than usual. And because I made lighter coloured flowers it was easy to use coloured pencil to add some texture to the blooms.

Pleased as I am with the flowers, my absolute favourite thing about this image is the jug. I love that soft grey-green colour and the shading and highlights turned out just right.
