Tulips

Good Morning Everyone

Today im sharing another Easter card, using lovely tulips.  I was given this crafty individuals tulip stamp which ive teamed up with the tulip on the edge die.

Card size approx 6x6".  I first stamped the tulips and simply watercoloured with distress inks, adding some yellow wink of stella to the flower heads to give them a lovely sparkle.  From white card i die cut the tulip on the edge and lightly added some colour to it to pick up on the stamped tuilps.  I splashed some inky dots over the background and stamped my greeting.  

I mounted my tulips onto gold pearlescent paper which i also used for my insert, it has a beautiful shimmer.  

A close up on my tulips, you can just about make out the sparkle on the flower heads.

Tulips

Good Morning everyone.

Today im sharing a couple of cards using a Tulip on the edge die.  The first one i made for a friend who was born in The Netherlands to let her know im thinking of her, so it had to be Tulips. 

I wanted to try and use more than one tulip so came up with this.  Approx 6x6 card.  I first folded a card base from gold pearlised card and cut the tulip from the front right edge.  I also cut the tulip from 3 pieces of white card, i inked them up with oxide inks.  I then added the first one lining up with the tulip cut from the gold basecard.  I then glued the other 2 on top so i had 3 in a row.  

I cut the tulips twice more from gold card and kept the 'waste' pieces that fell out, these i inserted back into the 2 'white' tulips.  To the left of the cardfront i added a strip of colour using the same oxide inks i used for the tulips and then covered the join with a thin strip of gold pearl card.

I stamped the greeting, trimmed to size and lightly inked around it with grey ink so it stands out, i added this with a bit of dimension over the tulips. I added touches of glitter glue to the tulips just to add a little sparkle.

And a little card using just the one on the edge tulip.  I folded a gold pearlised cardbase approx 6x6" and die cut the tulip on the front right edge. I then die cut a tulip again from white card to fit the front of the card and added this over the top of the gold tulip.  I had inked my tulip with oxide inks again and i added splashes of these inks to the front white panel.  I added a strip of inked card and gold pearl to the left edge.  

Lastly i stamped these fantastic hare stamps from lavinia that i got at Christmas and a sentiment stamp.

Just showing the card stood open.

This one just uses a different hare and sentiment.
