Hello! I’m thrilled to share a project that blooms with color – a birthday card featuring the beautiful Spellbinders die set Tulip Trio, designed by the talented Simon Hurley. The set contains dies to create three different tulip blooms, along with stems and leaves. I paired the die-cut blooms with a heartfelt sentiment and an eye-catching stenciled background.
-
- To create the background, stencil Salvaged Patina ink through the Kaleidoscope Window stencil on Waterfall cardstock. Trim to A2 size and add to card base. In this article, I discuss the use of stencils for creating card backgrounds.
- Ink Susan’s Garden cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks (links included below). Using the Tulip Trio die set, cut blossom pieces, stems, and leaves from inked cardstock. Assemble.
- BetterPress the You are Everything sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock in black ink.
- Add assembled flowers to card base. Add sentiment at base.
- Embellish with clear enamel dots.
Gorgeous! The shading really adds to the flowers.
All the different shades of pink were beautiful together. Great card!
Gorgeous pink tulips, Jean, and perfect atop the stencil waterfall cardstock!!
WOW, this is FANTASTIC.
