I still have the Mixed Florals stamp set on my desk and have used it, with the Watercolor Pencils to make a yellow tulip Easter card.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the mixed floral, yellow tulip Easter card, you will need:
Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pebbled Path card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 1”
Basic White card – 3⅛” by ⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
I stamped the tulip image in Pebbled Path ink onto the5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

Using a Daffodil Delight Water Color Pencil I added colour to the tulips, darker at the bottom fading to nothing at the top and used a Blender Pen to smooth out the colour and add shading.

The tiny flowers were coloured with Watercolor Pencils, Pumpkin Pie for the flower centres and Berry Burst for the petals. The Blender Pen smoothed out the colour.

The leaves were coloured with a Garden Green Watercolor Pencil and again smoothed out with my Blender Pen. The whole panel was adhered to the Pebbled Path layer. A piece of ⅛” Daffodil Delight Ribbon was wrapped around the upper left corner of the panel, secured on the back and added the whole piece mounted onto the Berry Burst card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Throughout the Years stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card using Garden Green ink. I added it to the piece of Garden Green card before gluing it to the card front.

A ribbon bow and a trio of Tinsel Gems completed the card.
N.B – All the Watercolor Pencils used came from the Nature’s Painting Kit. You can also get them in the mixed packs – Flirty Flamingo and Garden Green are in Watercolor Pencil Assortment 2 and Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie in Assortment 1.
