Happy International Scrapbooking Day! Victoria here with an embellishment project with a mixed media tulip theme. I was inspired to show you this project from three things; 1) A live video demonstration by Ken Oliver, where he was showing watercolor tulip painting, 2) photos I’ve seen on Facebook of the tulip fields in Washington State (especially Roozengard), and 3) I wanted to see if I could freehand draw and create a tulip with items I had on hand!
Supply list:
No. 5 manila tag
Acrylic Paints – yellow, orange, red and green (or your choice of colors – tulips are all colors)
Black pen and a drafting pencil
Ribbon, I chose reds
1. Freehand sketch loosely your tulip and stem.
2. Add dimensional paste with a spatula, think frosting.
3. Add acrylic paint and dry between each layer. I used yellow, orange and red. I used colors that I had on hand. And then I painted stems with green.
These are the colors I used from my stash, since I can’t go to the craft store for new colors!
4. Once dry, add mini dew drops and dew drops to give additional dimension.
5. Add final embellishments – I added red ribbons and a dashed line with black pen to ground the stems.
Have a wonderful National Scrapbooking Day and think about tag tuck ins for your journaling spots, behind photos or flipping open these add wonderful dimension to your projects.
In two weeks I will have a new canvas project for you!
