Hello Crafters!
Today is a twofer :)
Why?
Well the lovely Lia Stampz is coming out with the new digital Flower Set and is celebrating with a blog hop.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use these flowers, or any flowers really . . . but especially these flowers because they are gorgeous.
Are you new to Lia Stampz? It is a Etsy shop run by the fabulous Lia where she sells all her adorable digital stamps. I'm not saying go check it out but . . . okay, okay I AM saying go check it out. Her images are awesome.
Speaking of awesome do you want to know the best thing about these flowers right now? You can win one. :) Leave a comment telling me which flower in the set is your favorite: The Peony, Lily of the Valley, Poppies, Daffodils, or Tulips. I'll randomly draw a winner from the comments left before June 2,2015 at midnight to win their favorite flower!

I decided to play with the tulips and watercolor for the hop :)
I used all three of the tulip images in the set to create a field of tulips. I made them all different sizes and flipped some of them for lots of variety. Before I printed I recolored them to be a very light gray outline so I could do a bit of no line coloring. I printed directly to watercolor paper and used peerless watercolors. These babies are so vibrant, I just love them!!
the sentiment is from Hero Arts. I added just a bit of purple to it to break up all that black.
Thanks for stopping by!
I do hope you'll check out the rest of the girls projects. Each girl is giving away one favorite flower to one commenter so you have 5 chances to win!
I've linked them below.
Thanks for Visiting!!
XoXo
Hi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI love flowers, they do brighten up my patio and try to have fresh flowers on the dining room table as often as I can. To answer your question, I would select the Peony as my favorite.
Yes, I too came upon your blog via Jen, but she's so right, your cards are so much fun!
ReplyDeletethe poppies are my favorite - love how you colored the tulips - haven't a clue how you use those digi stamps, but these are really pretty! i'm such a sucker for any stamp that's a flower tho! and congrats on being featured by jennifer m. - well deserved - but i've been following you way before she mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteThe peonies are my favorite!! I have a peony bush blooming in my garden right now!! They are such big, beautiful luscious blooms!! So sad they only last for about a week & then gone until next spring!! Your card is absolutely beautiful, and the colors are as you said...truly vibrant!!
ReplyDeleteI love these gorgeous tulips Kelly! What a fantastic job you did with them!
ReplyDeleteYou know I find it hard to pass up a flower stamp! I LOVE the peonies then the poppies.
ReplyDeleteWow, your tulip card is beautiful, so I think I like the tulips the best. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I love the peony stamp. But, the entire stamp set is awesome. I just love peonies.
ReplyDeleteWow -- that card is lovely!! I love all of those flowers in the set but I would do the poppies or tulips first. I have never used digital stamps so I am curious to learn the whole process. To be able to use those flowers.....this old head would learn a new trick!
ReplyDeleteI really love the tulips. They're my mom's favorite flower and every time I see one I think of her!
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colors in your tulip card. I am so fond of all flowers but I would say the peony would be the one I would choose from this fine selection.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely the peonies. The other flowers are lovely but peonies are my favorite, and these are absolutely beautiful. And your tulips are colored so...wonderfully (I am running out of adjectives : ) Jennifer was right, you are great!
ReplyDeleteKelly, your killing me. No choice having seen your beautiful use of the tulip. Wow I want to do one just the same but I will never catch the vibrancy you manage to capture. Absolutely perfect.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bright card! sure brings a smile to the face, the coloring is gorgeous! :) Peonies and poppies are my two favorites! :)
ReplyDeleteKelly, if I could colour like you, I'd love every one of those floral images! :-) Since I enjoy Gardening so much, your question is even harder to answer, but since I have a lovely Red & White Irish Setter called "Poppy", I wouldn't be such a good mom if I didn't choose those flowers, now would I?
ReplyDeleteAnother stunningly coloured card, Kelly, and CONGRATS on the Shout Out from Jennifer McGuire
Great job on these Tulips! They are beautiful. Out of the set my favorites are poppies but I love tulips too. It's so hard to choose just one!!
ReplyDeleteYour tulips are so beautifull and brightly coloured Kelly! I love it!! All those digital flower stamps look wonderful, but if I must pick one, I'd pick the Lily of the Valley. I love it's fragrance!
ReplyDeleteLove the tulip card! Beautiful stamps. My top pick would be the peony.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI love the poppies most!!!
Beautiful card! Bright cheerful colors make me feel so happy.
ReplyDeleteI love lily of the Valley!!! It is the flower for the month of May and I was born in May!
Love these colors!! If I had to pick one of the flowers it would be the lily:-)
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that the poppies were my favorite until I saw your watercolor tulips! Now I can't decide!
ReplyDeleteLove your vibrant tulips, Kelly!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flowers are the poppies.
Your talent should be bottled and sold! Beautiful card Kelly! I love the Lilly of the Valley!
ReplyDeleteSuch an appropriate sentiment with your amazing bright colored flowers!
ReplyDeleteThis stamp is wonderful! Your tulips are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the tulips truly caught my eyes. Gorgeous vibrant and the sentiment perfectly accompanies the field of flowers.
ReplyDeleteI think I like the poppies best of all. How do you watercolor a printed image? Does the ink smear? Is it an inkjet printer?

ReplyDeleteLove your tulip card! I pick the tulip for my favorite flower especially after seeing your card.I goofed up on my first reply so I deleted it and wrote a new one.
ReplyDeleteYou have really done an amazing job coloring these tulips, Kelly! I love the pretty colors and how you angled them for a realistic effect! Stunning card!!! My fave are the peonies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. After seeing it I would have to say the tulips take my fancy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteYour card turned out to be awesome. I love how you coloured those tulips... Well, I can't choose, I would like have all of them.. please, but if I have to say only one I'd go for the poppies.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazingly beautiful card you have made! The colouring is perfect, absolutely gorgeous! I'm new to digital stamps and being a techno-phobe I have not really done much. I did not even know you could print onto watercolour paper! There you go! Something learnt! I adore the peonies mainly because my son gave me a peony plant last year for my birthday. In truth Il ove all the flowers in this set! TFS!
ReplyDeleteOh so PRETTY!!! When I first looked at your card I thought How did she do that it doesn't look like there is an outline on the flowers!! well then I read your post and found out, It is just beautiful I'll have to try that with some light gray and stamping. My favorite is still the Daffodil!! I just love their cherry color and early blooming in the spring! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love all of them! Peonies is my first choice since I have to choose. :)
ReplyDeleteStunning card, I love the tulips, they are so pretty, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteWell, I would have to go with the tulips - just cuz of the ones featured they are my fave!! I think I may have been swayed though by the AWESOME beauty of this card - the tulips look so real, I feel as if I am in the tulip field and I am just in awe at how lovely you made them!! A beautiful field of gorgeousness to be enjoyed - well done, my gorgeous, uber talented friend!! YOU ROCK!!!
