Pink for a Girl?

I started this pair of journal pages as so often, with leftover paint on my craft mat... and an idea was born!

 the right hand side was blue - I can't remember what Fresco colour paint the blue was now,  but vanilla is the other one.

I used various of the Sara Naumann Eclectica journalling stamps over both pages, using archival inks in cobalt, aquamarine and black

the pink page on the left, was mopped up Picked Raspberry distress ink and again vanilla Fresco.

The same stamps were used, but using magenta hue, vermillion and black archivals.

 I then gave both pages a light wash with watered down vanilla fresco
before stamping the Lin Brown tulip twice on black card, using respectively, vintage lace, very berry and rusty rose, and ice blue, pea coat and south pacific.

I cut the petals from the second  flower to layer up on the base flower.

The leaves are stamped using holly and a smidge of limelight frescos.
