Timeless Tulips

Today’s card was created using  Stampin’ Up! ®  Timeless Tulips stamps and Faux Water Colour Technique.

How to achieve a Faux Water Colour look.

• Ink up the Tulip image with Mango Melody ink and sponge Poppy Parade Ink around bottom edges and up one side.
• Stamp image onto Shimmery White cardstock
• With Aqua Painter lightly go over the stamped image with a slightly wet brush to blend colours.

Products & Measurements used…

• Timeless Tulips Bundle
• Butterfly Wishes (Sentiment)
• Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
• Stampin’ Pads – Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Old Olive
• Card Base – Poppy Parade 21 x 14.9cm, scored at 10.5 cm
• Card Front – Shimmery White 9.7 x 14.1 cm
• Card Insert – Whisper White 10 x 14.4 cm

How did I make this card…

• Stamp the smaller tulips directly onto the card front along with stems and leaves following the above directions.
• The two larger tulips and two leaves were stamped onto a scrap of Shimmery White cardstock and punched out using the coordinating punch.
• Add a splatter Mango Melody and Poppy Parade ink onto the card front using watered down ink and Aqua Painter.
• By using Stamparatus I was able to positioned the sentiment and stamped it in Poppy Parade.
• Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon was wrapped around card front twice and adhered to the back with snail.
• Then attach the card front to card base with dimensionals
• Adhere the large tulips and leaves to card front also with dimensionals.
• I then tied a double bow using a bow maker in the Whisper white Seam Binding and attach with a glue dot.

 It’s a simple card to make and I hope you give it a try and make one for yourself.
