This
mingle is a pop up with several layers. I
started out with 90 lb CP watercolor paper and stamped my tulips
(Stubby Stampers #3468) with Petal Point black stamp pad and
embossed with Detail black. Colored in the tulips with
Pentel Color Brush pens, using the indirect technique and my
water brush with 30/70 iridescent medium & H2o. Drew in some
funky letters for the word "Tulips", outlined them
with the thick tip of a green Zig marker and painted the inside
of the letters and the negative areas with Chroma Color (Gambouge
New). Colored the white edges of the paper with the appropriate
colors. Made some photo corners from Arches Text wove paper and
colored them with the same yellow. When I was stamping the
tulips I made a few more for the inside. I painted the inside of
the page with a mix of greens (Folk Art Metallic Emerald Green
& Ceramcoat Forest Green). This mix makes a lovely green.
I folded the bottom of my page (which becomes the inside) accordion style to hold the rest of my tulips. Cut some of the tulips so they became smaller bunches and glued them to the folds. PS: I also glued the folds of the accordion together and inter connected a piece of ribbon through the folds and the back of the front portion, so that the folds would pop up. (tricky to explain)
