I’m not usually a flower-colorer….but the realistic Loving Tulips stamp from Power Poppy inspired me to also create a sketch of one of the last tulips of the season. So sad they’re going away but I’ve taken lots of pics to keep working from! There’s a card a little later in this post.
Watch the video below or click HERE to see it in HD on YouTube.
So pretty….I think I captured that tulip and all my love for it! The pencil made the colors pop more than the Copic marker did. Marker tends to die just a little on drawing paper. (This is in a Sketchbook I usually use for pencil work.)
If you’re interested in learning to color tulips yourself, there’s an advanced Copic class for that! It’s Timeless Tulips….
Card
Such elegance in just this simple stamp. Even the text is designed beautifully! Once I get up in the morning I’ll post a 1 minute speed coloring of this over on Instagram !

Don’t forget to add a special treat by decorating the back of a card!

I have enjoyed the video so much, your drawing/colouring is so stunning. And I love to see you colouring with pencil also. Thank you for showing always such great things.
While I’m not an artist, and never will be, I feel like learned something about laying colors with this beautiful video. It’s a pleasure to watch you work and create such a wonderful flower. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Thank you Sandy, I loved the tulip and I’m going to try to do more colored pencil over my copics, it’s just amazing what a difference that makes. I appreciate all you do to inspire us to make our own art, it is my personal therapy. Thanks and happy travels!
Just gorgeous Sand
I try not to over-use the word “amazing”, but this truly is. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the video as that tulip and background came to life. The pencils were definitely an enhancement over the Copics. (loved the piano music too!)
Stunning! Got so wrapped up in your video that I actually replayed it! Lovely tulip and thanks for sharing your talent with us.
Wow! Sandy, this is absolutely gorgeous!
Just mesmerizing – thanks for a peek at how a real artist works!
