Thinking about Spring with Today's Card......
Inspired by The Paper Players Theme Challenge...
Spring has Sprung!
Thrilled to have been chosen as The Headliner with my Card....Thank you so much x

The tulips have been stamped and masked and heat embossed in white.
The water colouring has been done with several colours of Lindy Magical powders.
The 'Easter' sentiment has been die cut and popped up on one layer,
as not to detract from the tulips.
Perhaps a little too hidden!
Finishing off with a die cut frame.
The card was so relaxing to do and here's to Spring coming soon.....
Thank you for stopping by...

Stunning card. Wish Spring really was on its way - we had snow again this morning!
This field of tulips are amazing... soft and welcoming. I love how you inset the sentiment... wonderful! Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
Oh wow--pink tulips are my favorite! I can't imagine doing all this masking, Mac, but you showed how worth the time it can be! It's looked like Spring here the last 2 days, but now we're back to cool & wet.
So beautiful - love the colours, the softness, the very subtle sentiment! Fabulous shading in the tulips! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS Watercolour!
WOW! This is absolutely stunning, so springy and fresh! Great coloring and design. Hugs, Autumn
Wow Mac! Your water colored tulip field looks amazing! Great job of masking and embossing all those flowers. Thanks so much for linking up your gorgeous card at STAMPlorations March challenge!
A fabulous spring scene, it looks so fresh framed with white. I love the way you've subtly raised up the letters. xx
This does indeed present spring in all it's beautiful glory. Fantastic painting technique with the Lindy's magicals...so very soft. Love this particular shade of pink which looks lovely with the green grasses and the soft blue sky. I like the very subtle look you've achieved with the sentiment. It doesn't distract from the field of tulips, yet is quite visible. Great design. TFS & Hugs
Wow, your field of tulips look stunning. The colouring is so soft and pretty. Great job on the masking. The sentiment is very subtle but shows up well if you enlarge the picture so in real life, it would look great. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
How pretty and spring like! I do like the sky, and how it has the idea of white whispy clouds. The subtle sentiment definitely does not take away from the flowers. Have a great day!
A dreamy look with the white embossing and soft colours.
Stunning card Mac, love the pretty flowers and delicate colours.

What a gorgeous garden of tulips, Mac! I'll be they really shimmer too! Love the soft shades of pink against the blue sky and the surprise Easter sentiment fitted inside the garden! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
Mac, such a gorgeous field of tulips, I bet they look amazing watercoloured in Lindy's Magicals.
A stunning card Mac - so love your field of tulips, and having been done with Lindy's powders, I suspect the sheen would be amazing IRL.

My English is too limited to be able to express my delight in how your MAC cards put me. This meadow looks like it was a vision of heaven ... were you in heaven?

Lovely watercolouring and the popped up die-cut is a great touch! I quite like the hidden aspect, it surprises people when they finally spot it!
This card would be a best-seller in any store, Mac, and it SHOULD be hanging in an art gallery! It's my new favorite of yours, topping a previous list of 182 cards!! Hugs, Darnell
Wow what a lovely watercolor design and fun techniques.
