Tulips

This is one of my favourite stamps from Blockhead stamps, unusually coloured here in white with kraft as its complement.
The challenge at ABC Challenges is to use both wet and dry embossing. Here the image was stamped in black and then clear embossed. The image was coloured with watercolours.
I think there's something quite soothing in the lack of vivid colours here.
As ever, I was influenced by Birgit a crafter of supreme talent!

    So beautiful, Chrissie! I have this stamp and love it, too, especially in these unusual colors. You have given Birgit (who is not of this Earth) a run for her money!!
