Tulips and Watercolor Wash - happy day to you

I've bought a few Alexandra Renke dies recently. I love her delicate silhouette designs.

I used the tulip dies and made this card.


I used a leftover piece of watercolor wash paper for the inlaid pieces and the window background. The sentiment was stamped with Champagne pigment ink. 
The design of the dies is so beautiful that you don't have to do much else.




Edited on 7/1: I'm adding the card to Less is More and AAA Cards.
Thanks for letting me know about these challenges, Trina!

  4. Stunning, Hideko! I’m unfamiliar with this die brand, but if this is the style, it’s gorgeous! Your watercolor piece is such a pretty mauve color. Fabulous use and job doing the inlaid technique. You should enter this in the current Less is More (use items from your bits box) and AAA Cards (use a frame) challenges. Love this! xx

  18. I'm not sure WHY this die hasn't found itself in a cart by now - a favorite bloom, and what a spectacular card, Hideko! That little stitched window makes the perfect backdrop for your Tulip!
