Easter is getting closer. In my area, the dogwoods, tulips, daffodils and cherry trees are blooming. What a beautiful sight after such a terrible winter.
I don't have a lot of time recently for anything but CAS cards but when I get the chance, I play in the Mixed Media challenge on Splitcoaststampers. Mix62 was to use tulips with at least 3 kinds of medium-acrylic, Gesso, ink, etc. Last week I was able to combine it with the Free for All challenge-tone on tone. I used white on white, layer to base.
I painted my tulips using Americana Acrylic paint in Napa Red and used Gesso. The burlap stencil is done with the same paint in Camel. The stems are done with Hauser med. green and lt. green acrylic paint.

Very nicely done CAS card Benzi. Like how you colored the tulips. Not much for blooms in our area yet everything is coming up. SOON.
With the stencil as your backdrop those tulips really pop nicely. Great card.

Hi, Benzi! Great use of gesso in your pretty CAS tulip card with the burlap background! Lovely colors, and I envy your pretty blossoms - we don't get those down here. Need photos LOL hope all is well with you. hugs, de
This is beautiful! The colors are great! I think you are on to something with the Tulip theme!
Oh, my, what beautiful tulips you have created, Brenda! Love the stenciled background that's perfect to show them off! The dogwoods and cherry trees are blooming here and the leaves are popping out! The pollen is falling too, but I'm so glad to see the trees bursting forth, that I don't mind. Enjoy!
I bought this burlap stencil and used it once, but I need to play with it a lot more after seeing this! I love that you used just a small portion to showcase those gorgeous tulips! Hurry up Spring! We're waiting!
Envious here about the stenciled area. I was going to do that and then signed up for the Lauryn blog hop. Oh well, I love your beautiful card, Brenda. Don't forget the hop on Monday!! I will have candy!! Love those gorgeous tulips too!
I am so impressed by this beautiful work of art, Brenda! This should be framed!! Hugs, Darnell

Gorgeous Easter card Benz! Love the vibrant tulips! Your so lucky to have flowers already, we still have snow on the ground and possible snow again tomorrow.
Tulips looks beautiful with burlap background. Very nice CAS card.
Oh WOW! I am really liking all the texture & bright color on this one. We have tulips by the front steps (the rain has made them a bit sad looking now), not nearly as beautiful as these cheery red ones. I DO like this card! Well done. Off to enjoy a few I missed while lazing around. TFS & Hugs

Deine Osterkarte ist wunderschön kreiert, Brenda. Ganz toll gefällt mir auch der Hintergrund und die Tulpen sind sowieso ein richtiger Hingucker.

Love your Easter Tulips! Mine are so hard trying to come alive! We have had such a late winter. We are expecting freezing rain with temps to dip in the 20's and 30's again this evening! Enough already! After having temps in the 80's on Sunday!
