Tulip Congratulations

A few days ago, I saw some BEAUTIFUL photos of red tulips with the In Good Taste paper as the backdrop. It was so pretty, and inspired today's card!

For the tulips, I inked my stamps in Poppy Parade ink, and then used a sponge dauber to add a little bit of Melon Mambo on the bottom and sides. It's subtle here, but this is a fun trick to add multiple colors to your stamped image! The sentiment is once again from the stamp set 'A Grand Kid.' (Have I convinced you yet that you need this sentiment stamp set in your life?!)

The card is finished off with a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets, which have been colored with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker. Here is a full list of supplies:

Stamps: A Grand Kid, Timeless Tulips

Ink: Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Old Olive; Stampin' Blends: Dark Poppy Parade

Paper: Early Espresso, Whisper White, In Good Taste DSP

Embellishments: Braided Linen Trim, Frosted Epoxy Droplets

Tools: Tulip Builder Punch, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Stamping!

#GDP236: Timeless Tulips in Blackberry Bliss

If you follow my blog, you've probably figured out that I love a good challenge. Challenges are a fun place to start when coming up with the idea for a card. This week, I am playing along with the Global Design Project challenge - CASEing one of the designers. Here is her card:

I decided to use the Timeless Tulips stamp set just like she did, but I went with deep purple tulips and used Blackberry Bliss cardstock and ink.

I had Mossy Meadow out, and I thought that the rich green paired well with the dark purple. Crumb Cake is a good neutral when you want something other than white for your card base. And then I added a few additional details, inspired by Janneke's card - the vellum circle embossed with the Scripty Embossing Folder and a few Frosted Epoxy Droplets.

This card did require quite a bit of fussy cutting, but other than that, it's pretty simple! You could change up the colors for lots of fun combinations.

Stamps: Timeless Tulips
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Crumb Cake, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Vellum
Embellishments: Frosted Epoxy Droplets, Linen Thread
Tools: Tulip Builder Punch, Layering Circles Dies, Scripty EF
Adhesives: SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Glue

Happy Stamping!
