At this time of year, especially in the parts of the country where it’s cold, fresh flowers really do seem like a treat. We can’t walk into the back yard and pick some of our own. I don’t usually buy flowers as a rule, but the past few weeks whenever I’ve made it to the grocery I have splurged on a bunch of tulips. I’ve managed to get three different colors and transformed them into digital watercolor printables. You might remember that I did the same thing last Fall. If you happened to print and frame any of those, here’s a replacement that should last until summer.

Once again I took pictures of each arrangement with my iPhone and then ran them through the app Waterlogue. When I was looking for a vase to use with the red tulips, I found this pitcher that I had completely forgotten about. It’s vintage and made in Portugal. It was the added bonus to having fresh flowers in the house!
I have a confession. If you perhaps visited this post earlier today and wondered what was going on, I’m sorry! I had scheduled this post a few days ago to publish this morning. Life got in the way and I didn’t get it completely finished…and to top things off I forgot that it was scheduled. Imagine my surprise when I saw it in my email this morning. Anyway, I’ve fixed it up a bit and it’s much more presentable!
Thank you for stopping by and for putting up with my absent-minded ways…see you soon!
Such a celebration of spring! Thank you so much.
Thank you so very much for these free watercolor printables. I love love love them! They a just lovely!
Thanks! I love the flower prints. We are waiting for the snow to melt so we can grow some real ones. Look at these gives me hope.
just beautiful! Thanks so much!
These are lovely. I plan to use them as transfers on some kitchen towels. Thank you so much.
Perfect idea Kathleen…have fun!
Hi Ann,
Tulips are my absolute favorite! Thanks so much. Beautiful work!
So fetching! I’m planning to place them in my kitchen.
What paper would you recommend for printing?
Thank you, Laura
Your tulip watercolors are so pretty. I always wanted to be able to paint with watercolors. I even took a class several years ago and found it to be pretty challenging. Thanks goodness for technology. Thanks for the freebie.
As always, I love your printables! My favorite is the pink tulips and will look perfect in my Spring bedroom decor. Thank you.
I love the waterlogue app Ann, so much fun~ your printables are great!
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful prints. Somehow I missed them last week, but all is good now. I have printed and set them into frames and have them setting all around our house. You are so very thoughtful!
I adore tulips too. Such a nice doze of cheer, thanks, Ann. I think I may put all three in frames and have a grouping on the wall. They compliment each other perfectly. I saw your picture with pink tulips in Instagram, it was beautiful.
Ann, this is not about your blog but I don’t know how to get in touch with you otherwise. For about two weeks, maybe more I didn’t receive your blog. I was wondering how that could have happened. I went in and signed up again as if I had never been on your list and your blogs started again. Just curious. Thought maybe you had been sick or some other personal problems. To repeat, just curious. Any ideas why this happened? Did it happen to anyone else?
Oh gosh Barbara I have no idea. It sounds like a glitch with the site that delivers my post emails. I will ask and see what they have to say. I haven’t heard from anyone else. I am glad you signed up again…thank you!
Suggestions on what paper to print the downloads on to keep it looking more like a watercolor print? Watercolor paper has a roughened texture, but is too thick and heavy to run through a printer. Your beautiful work deserves a more special presentation than a plain copied picture! Thanks for your help!
Love them! Tulips are absolutely my favorite. Thank you for the printable!
Thanks for taking the time to give us these beautiful prints!
These are so very pretty–thank you for sharing them, Ann!
I absolutely adore these prints and have one at a time on my counter. Thank you.
These are all very pretty Ann, and I like the 3rd one in the aqua mason jar. However, the red ones in the colourful pitcher are pretty too. Have a great day.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful prints!
Thank you for such wonderful inspiration and gorgeous free printables! I loved your link on the large pink Valentine bow, so I went to the site, spent $60 and it wasn’t until today that I realized I forgot to buy the pink ribbon I had gone to the site to buy!!! Next time…
Oh Lani you sound just like me! Sites like that are so distracting…glad you enjoyed it!
Such a lovely creative idea.Thanks for sharing the “how to”
So springlike on this winter day…thanks…I needed this! ;)
Beautiful Ann! Can’t wait to use these- now to choose which one- or maybe I’ll use them all!! Thanks!
“Grazie dei fior”
Between the heart wreath and now the tulip prints, a touch of Spring! Pretty, Kathleen in Az
