Think Spring

I don't know about you, but I could really use a little SPRING right about now.
The challenge at Splitcoast was to 'Think Spring'.  When I think Spring, I think of tulips and blue skies, so here is what I came up with.

I cut a piece of cardstock and started stamping these beautiful tulips from Serendipity Stamps with black Memento ink along the bottom edge of the paper.
Next, I got out my Distress inks, pressed them onto my acrylic block and used them to do a loose watercolour on the flowers and the background.
When dry, I mounted it to my card front with pop dots then stamped the sentiment from Penny Black.

Adding my card to these challenges:

    I think of spring as being psychotic because it can't decide if it wants to be summer or it would rather stay window. You nailed the spring feeling with this card though. Gorgeous watercoloring!
